I have been reading The Self-Reliant Homest...Kerri,<br />I have been reading The Self-Reliant Homestead and the author suggests using an old chest deep freezer to hold grains. He says that he can hold 500 pounds of grain in theirs. I highly recommend getting your hands on this book, as he has MANY good ideas for free or DIY homestead fixes!<br />BethanyBethany W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05849311381535204559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18965615.post-53720173399040793222010-08-29T10:46:00.562-07:002010-08-29T10:46:00.562-07:00Isn't it amazing how things are different with...Isn't it amazing how things are different with the older children gone for the day? <br /><br />We have an old freezer in our garage. We have found that having an older freezer that needs to be defrosted and keeping it full (sometimes with mostly frozen containers of water doesnt cost much at all. Apparently having the freezer constantly defrost itself adds up. I would also suggest investing in a Food Saver. The bags are plastic but a good, high quality plastic and food stays fresh for a very very long time. If you invest in containers for it, those can be reused.<br /><br />I have two been looking into how to get organic beef (preferably grass fed only) at a good price. We are so far from buying the whole cow:)<br /><br />Do you have room on your walls? You have such great pictures of your family and it would be fun to use those as wall art and decoration. You can get some really good deals at walgreen.com for free 8 x 10s or the places that print onto canvas have cheap cheap specials time to time....Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15723750357398720115noreply@blogger.com
