Week 44 - Hard Candy

Week 44: HARD CANDY On sale after Halloween. Leftovers will make a good addition to your 72 hour emergency kits.



The holiday season is fast approaching. Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Believe it or not, the holiday season is the perfect time to think about your food storage preps. After all, one thing is clear—at least here in the U.S. Holidays mean family gatherings with lots of home-cooked dinners and home-baked goodies.
It’s at this time of the year that we do the majority of our baking. Corporate America knows this, and that’s why you can expect to see baking products at rock-bottom prices this time of year. If you keep a keen eye on prices, you can pick up a lot of products at well below half price.
The holiday season also brings cooler temperatures. Things like canned soups, hot chocolate, oatmeal, and other hot cereals go on sale at the grocery stores. Keep a keen eye on weekly flyers and sales information websites. You can often get these products BOGO (buy one get one free).
You can hit the after-Halloween candy sales to pick up candy at rock bottom prices. Chocolate will keep in the freezer for six months. If properly stored (oxygen absorbers in mylar bag), hard candy will last much longer. If you have children, candy will go a long ways in alleviating food fatigue.
I have tried to storage the candies!!  But my wonderful husband likes to get in to them and share them with our grands!  LOL  Stay warm!
