Hey, thinking about the costs of ready made - I was at a US grocery
store over our Thanksgiving weekend. Mind you I'm used to canning my
own & Canadian prices. They wanted $5.99 for a 500 ml jar of dilly
beans! I could not believe it. I grow my own beans so a jar that size
likely costs be about 5 cents to can, maybe a little more but you know
what I mean.
