"Mom, kroger sells that for $2.00"
My daughter called me from college day before yesterday.  When I answered she asked me what I was doing
When I told her I was making apple Jelly, she told me they sell that at kroger.
Was I making apple jelly to save money?  Well no I wasn't.
Let's take a step back to about 1975.  I remember shelling peas and snapping string beans until well after my thumbs hurt and thinking to myself... they sell this stuff at Big Star, what are my parents thinking.
Well in the early 80's when I stepped out into this big world with a little more Independence I began to see the error of my thinking.  Canned cream corn... well frankly folks it's just gross.  It doesn't taste like anything but sugar and doesn't have much "corn" to it at all.  Canned green beans... mushy.
I don't know exactly when I decided to let my mom in on my thoughts on the subject of "making my own".  I know it was a tough thing for me to admit to myself the first time that my mom knew best. 
This summer alone I put up corn, squash, bell peppers, made two kinds of jelly, apply ... more
