I wouldn’t recommend the Rival folding meat slicer we have, but for $5 bucks, it’ll do. If you add the logic of food prices constantly going up, then it could be even higher savings in the long run. Just think – if bologna goes up from $3.49 for 500 grams to $3.99 for 500 grams, I’ve just saved on the future expense of 50 cents per package PLUS what I saved by buying it bulk and parting it up. Why wouldn’t you do this? Of course, we’ve now got sandwich meat for pretty much the rest of the year. Should the household income go down, we can make bread cheaply and still have good sandwiches for lunches. Better today, better tomorrow.

Trees are hardy, easy to grow and tend, and keep producing year after year. Add to that the wonderful benefits that you find in any tree – aesthetics, shade, and pollution cleaning – and why wouldn’t you try to grow fruit trees? Today I highlight some fruit trees you might not think of growing, but will do well in Canada’s harsher growing zones. You might be surprised at what you hear! Kiwi, Honeyberries, Currants….mmmm.
