In the summer I prefer germanys fruit section..you can get way more strawberries for less there.<br /><br />Dutch food is also based on dang potatoes!lol<br />I also want to learn how to can..however the cost has stopped me..unlike back home where you pick everything up at a thrift, you have to buy it all new here and it's costly! I need to check out what it is in germany.<br /><br />Have you seen what Kitchenaids cost here? I bawled me eyes out when I had to leave mine behind. They are 500 euros on up..back home I paid under 200 for a new one!<br /><br />Do you have space outdoors? last year I actually had a container garden. I have a slightly big patio but with a small amount of dirt on the side..no room to grow anything. So I bought a bunch of buckets and grew cucumbers,tomatoes,eggplant and bell peppers. I had some friends send over some seeds and now I am going to grow sweet banana peppers:)<br /><br />It's a challenge for sure to keep our grocery bill low but Im slowly doing it!Sonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01084770522282328112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430379469947490865.post-178337568303926172010-03-06T20:29:05.241+01:002010-03-06T20:29:05.241+01:00I am interested to see as well. One thing I think ...I am interested to see as well. One thing I think is cool is a lot of recipes are based around potatoes and onions, which seem to be the only produce not sky high at the moment. <br /><br />To day I paid 1,25 for a head of lettuce I wanted to cry. And 95 cents for a cucumber. I never realized the prices went so high in winter, I mean in summer lettuce was 60 cents tops and cucumber 35 cents. <br /><br />So I limited myself to carrots, lettuce, and cucumber. But I did luck out as strawberries were on sale for 50 cents woo hoo. <br /><br /> I really want to teach myself canning. lol. So I can stock up in summer and on season produce and ride out till the next season. I think it would be a fun hobby :)Lost in Translationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553985063251732944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430379469947490865.post-33474283444646604872010-03-06T20:22:27.937+01:002010-03-06T20:22:27.937+01:00If I can remember I will do this with you!
