Well, a box of dried carrots fills more than 6 cans so all you do is can up the rest for them so they put it on the shelf for other people to come in who just want onesies and twosies. You get charged the same price for the ones you can and the ones on the shelf for sale...
BUT I tell you it is REALLY cheap for what you get. I enjoy spending an hour or two talking with some nice people and canning up some supplies, well worth it.

This and also knowing the goods you get are quality and the canning area immaculate. The folks are real nice and helpful.
There are a lot who go there, perhaps a saturday meet n greet some day.

"when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics".
I'm up for that.
On the other hand, a meet n greet somewhere with someone who has one of the canners on hand might be a good idea too. Canned .223 anyone?
I think you have stumbled upon something there.
Would have to put ammo in plastic bags me thinks... Unlike metals in close proximity ...

I just checked out one of the home canners for this weekend from the Colorado Springs location, so I may just can up some ammo just because it sounds funny. It works for the Russians with those big spam cans so why not.
Great idea. It's been a good year since I've been over there.
