Homestead Acres

We are still having trouble with the well.  Probably need a new well casing.  Thats just not going to happen right now.  At least so far I can wash and clean with it, but all cooking/drinking water is bottled.  We went out to day to get some more jugs.  Then we just refill them at the conservation park.  Frustrating they have good water but ours was better! LOL  We may end up putting in a good filter system probably cheaper then a new well casing for the mean time…

I did a little price checking while out.  Another store had not raised there milk price yet it was 5.49 a gal.  I did get a good deal on cheese blocks half price.  4 was the limit so I got two cheddar and 2 mozza, should last us a month or two.  Dh makes pizza every weekend and a block makes 4 to 6 pizzas.

Thurs. we stopped for rabbit feed and its gone way up to.  24% over 3.00 more per bag.  I expect it has a lot to do wight the world wide wheat shortage.  Also the corn going up in price.  There is a high demand for corn for ethanol.  Leaves less for feed and raises the price.

I’ve decided to put myself on a pantry challenge.  Anyone want to join in?  With the exception of dairy and fresh veggies, I’m trying not to buy anything for a while.

DH said our large freezer has been making odd sounds. Soooo I’m going to start canning at least a batch a day.  I find it more helpful to have precooked canned meat on hand anyway.
