The Money Badger: Strawberry Heaven!
http://moneybadger.blogspot.com/2012/07/strawberry-heaven.html
Thursday, July 12, 2012. With strawberries running $3.98 for 3lbs at Main Street Market, it's time to pull out the canner! If you haven't tried canning before - don't be intimidated. Women have been canning for hundreds of years quite safely, and they didn't have the advantages of a modern kitchen, precise methods, and the USDA looking out for them. If you are afraid of canning because you've heard a horror story, let me ask you: Do you not drive because you've heard about people dying in car accidents?

The Money Badger: Target Price vs. Sale Price
http://moneybadger.blogspot.com/2012/07/target-price-vs-sale-price.html
Sunday, July 15, 2012. Target Price vs. Sale Price. I've talked a lot about buying things in bulk at my target price, rather than using coupons. In reality, this is known as Badgering the Sales. This can be confusing, so I will give some examples. But, before I go any further - let me state: You *could* get some of these sales even more cheaply with coupons, if you take the time to coordinate sales and coupons. The price I get at Sams club at any time: (Also the same for salted butter). IF you buy ten of...

The Money Badger: This Little Badger Went to the Market...
http://moneybadger.blogspot.com/2012/07/this-little-badger-went-to-market.html
Saturday, July 14, 2012. This Little Badger Went to the Market. A Saturday morning in the Badger's Midwestern hometown means going to the Farmer's Market. Heavy rain this morning kept many of the normal vendors away, but Mrs. Badger doesn't mind the rain. In fact, Mrs. Badger likes the rain. Many people have been very busy telling Mrs. Badger to skip the Farmer's Markets in her area - she can get the food cheaper at the grocery store - And it's true. Take for instance Jericho Run Farms. Badgers are solit...

The Money Badger: September 2012
http://moneybadger.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 3, 2012. That's right - Mrs. Badger is going there. Few topics in the blogosphere have ignited the furious listing of pros and cons like homemade laundry soap has in the last few years. Let's cut to the chase: Does it work and is it worth your time? It is for the Badger Household. In addition to those recipes, you'll see thousands of vocal proponents and opponents of homemade laundry soap. Sounds hopeless, doesn't it? It seemed that it was to me at the time. After researching the in...

The Money Badger: You Know You're Shopping in the Midwest When...
http://moneybadger.blogspot.com/2012/07/you-know-youre-shopping-in-midwest-when.html
Sunday, July 15, 2012. You Know You're Shopping in the Midwest When. There's no doubt about it - Shopping in the Midwest is very different from most places in the United States. There's a real emphasis on down-home, homey-feel-good feelings for shoppers. There's also a real emphasis on many of the lost arts (for lack of a better word) that I have rarely seen women outside the American Midwest practice. Like. canning and preserving food. 1) They grew up canning, and never stopped. Yes - all those green ca...

The Money Badger: Poor Man's Feast
http://moneybadger.blogspot.com/2012/07/poor-mans-feast.html
Wednesday, July 11, 2012. Growing up, it seemed as if my steelworker-father was always laid off from work, on strike, or off due to injury. I won't hand my mother many kudos, but I will say she could make a penny scream keeping us all well-fed. This was a favorite standby in our house, and was known as Poor Man's Feast. It's VERY filling! 6-8 good-sized Idaho Potatoes. Peel potatoes, and soak in cold water. Drain after 20 minutes. Put in enough Crisco to cover bottom of pan when melted. No meat at all?

The Money Badger: July 2012
http://moneybadger.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 27, 2012. From Scratch vs. Pre-Made. While recently shopping, I overheard another shopper say "Oh! I couldn't make this Stove Top as cheap as this! Yeah I hate to tell her, but. she absolutely could. This led me to wonder: Are all. Boxed or prepared foods a bad buy? After some number crunching, I came up with some items that usually are cheaper to buy pre-made. (You convenience food junkies - take note! Monday, July 16, 2012. Here's the basic recipe:. 1 tsp Washing Soda. 3 tsp White Vinegar.

The Money Badger: Badger Scum Removal
http://moneybadger.blogspot.com/2012/07/badger-scum-removal.html
Monday, July 16, 2012. Badgers sometimes can be messy little creatures. We don't mean to be, but it happens. Today I'll be canning strawberry jam, strawberry-blueberry jam and some green beans. This means I'll be making a sticky mess with sugar and fruit all over the kitchen. Here's the link to her article about it - The Penny Wise Homemade Cleaner. Here's the basic recipe:. 1 tsp Dr. Bronner's liquid Castile Soap. 1 tsp Washing Soda. 3 tsp White Vinegar. 2 cups hot water. I'm off to start my canning....
