"The practices of our waste-not, want-not grandparents are coming back into
vogue as we search for ways to make our grocery bills shrink. Buying food in
season and in bulk is one way it used to be done, with the excess preserved
for leaner times."

Here in Utah, it's a way of life, we try to be as self sufficient as
possible - we grow, buy in bulk, stock, store, dry, can and bottle food for
emergency purposes including sharing with others who have fallen on hard
times.
