Today I took my collection of Ball coupons to the grocery store. I
had 16 and the first 12 got doubled and each box cost me .93 and the
other 4 cost me $1.43. Time to go look through all of the rest of
boxes to see if there are any more coupons. I also bought sugar at
$1.98 for a 4 pound bag.

I made a batch of scuppernong jelly today. Think I will make a batch
of muscadine tomorrow.

The Ball pectins always have a 50¢ coupon in them. I have to check
the grocery store to see what the exact rules are for double coupons.
I just found 11 more.

I should have said that the coupons come in the pectin packages and
are good only for pectins.

The coupons are on the instruction sheet.

You're kidding!! The coupon is on the instruction leaflet inside the
box, bottom of the sheet. The ones I have on hand currently have a
12/09 expiry, I believe.

I agree, muscadine...yum!!! I am so busy these days--with one more
course & exam to go + working, I just don't have the time right now to
do any canning. I figure after Thanksgiving, I'll be able to get
started on all the goodies asleep in the freezer.

I've been using the coupons @ Wally World. The Ball No Sugar Needed
Pectin is $1.50 and with the coupon, makes it $1 a box.

When one of the local stores here runs sugar for $1 a bag, I stock
up. There is usually a limit of 5 bags with a $10 purchase.

Oh I see. I have a couple of those but have not had to use commercial
pectin yet as I've only made jams, preserves, and conserves--- no jelly.
My husband just ordered some grapes (Concord and Canadice) so maybe I'll
have some grapes in a few years.
