      You’re quite welcome Virginia, but I wanted to mention that you cannot use the foodsaver as a substitute for canning to put up your veggies!! Here’s how we use ours to prolong the life of fruits and veggies (& pantry goods too):

  29. hi my name is carrie.
    i am a homeschooling mother of two boys 16 and 18.
    I have homeschooled them since kindergarten and 1st grade.
    My 18 year old is dual enrolled with a college in central FL
    and is graduateing in Dec.
    I enjoy cooking and baking. I am married to wonderful man for 20 yrs.
    My money saving tip is useing Ebey for buying curriculum used. I use Alpha and Omega SOS computer curriculum and it is very expensive new so I will sell what I have every year and buy what I need to replace the one I sold.
    I want to learn how to feed a family of 4 on less than 100 per week.

    I just can’t seem to do it.
    I hae been trying to use coupons but it seems like I end up spending more instead of less. Any suggestions?
