What I Buy in September to Fill My Pantry for the Year

📕 The Home Savings Manual — 79 ways to stop overpaying for your own house: https://brendacarver.com/ Dig out a grocery receipt from last February and look at what you paid for a bag of apples, a couple of onions, one tired little squash. Right now those same things are sitting in bins at the lowest price they'll be all year, because the harvest all came in at once and there's more than anybody can sell fresh. Most folks walk past it and buy for the week. A smart kitchen buys for the year. Our grandmothers filled a cellar every fall and ate all winter for almost nothing, and the know-how to do it costs nothing either. In this one I'll walk you through what I buy in September to fill my pantry for the year: 🎃 The winter squash that keeps for months once you cure it on the counter 🧅 The onions, potatoes and garlic — and why they must never share a corner 🍎 The apples, cabbage and root vegetables that last the winter kept cool and dark 🍅 The end-of-season tomatoes and peppers you put up for pennies before the frost …and why not one bit of it needs a gadget, a container, or anything you'd have to buy. Catch the food when it's cheapest and keep it right, and you'll eat well through the dark months for a fraction of the price. A little know-how keeps your family fed and your money right where it belongs. If saving money and running a smart, thrifty kitchen sound good to you, subscribe and stick around — that's what we do here every week. 💛 What does your part of the country have a glut of every fall?
