This week's item

This week we'll be buying canned fruit. Think about it;  If you can't get to a grocery store because of bad weather or there are food shortages or money is very tight, where will you get the five fruits and veg that you're supposed to eat every day?  If you have a garden, that's ideal.  But not everyone has that option.  Your choices become dried and canned goods.  So I can't emphasize how important canned fruit can be (we'll do veggies another week).  Not to mention there's the factor that most kids love it.

Pineapple, peaches, pears, mandarin oranges; my kids can't get enough of this stuff.  I'd recommend a minimum of five cans per person, but get as much as you can. We can easily polish off three cans at one meal!
