Let's face it, ketchup (condiments in general) will hardly be classified as a 'necessity' if things get really rough. But then it might be the little niceties of life that are worth the most as barter goods if things are that rough. I sure don't want the six 64-oz bottles I already have to go to waste so I may just be re-canning ketchup in the next week or two!HossBosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444735851486747330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5662968327054666593.post-90768224123448660882009-10-04T11:04:23.283-05:002009-10-04T11:04:23.283-05:00If you have large bottles of ketchup, etc., or fin...If you have large bottles of ketchup, etc., or find a really good deal on large bottles, you can always "re-can" them into 8 or 4 oz jars or whatever size that you will most likely use before it spoils. Yes, the initial investment in jars is expensive but you can reuse them forever if you take care of them.<br /><br />Just a thought...<br /><br />Mel in TXAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5662968327054666593.post-45689172113570960922009-10-03T14:51:22.576-05:002009-10-03T14:51:22.576-05:00Molly ...I was not able to find it on your blog si...Molly ...I was not able to find it on your blog site, but did a web search and found some information on the technology. It's great for dry climates but does not work well (or at all) in high humidity. Here in central Texas, the humidity is almost always high. It's over 80% today. So I'm not sure it would work as a long term storage here. HOWEVER, it gives me an idea for my garden produce. For things like the Swiss chard that can be plucked and then replenish themselves in a few days ...I can harvest and store the leaves for a week, maybe two until I have enough to process several quarts in the canner. If it works out, it means I can devote less ground to the Swiss chard and plant something else too for more variety. Great idea!

You can find the link to them on my blog, (under How To lables)I plan on having a few large ones made:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5662968327054666593.post-12811277642927178962009-10-03T13:32:42.662-05:002009-10-03T13:32:42.662-05:00Thanks for stopping by, Fel.

It's wasteful to discard anything useful (or edible!) ...getting them free along with another purchase is just an added bonus. <br /><br />You and Catman enjoy your weekend!HossBosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444735851486747330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5662968327054666593.post-77832597972357342522009-10-03T12:44:14.671-05:002009-10-03T12:44:14.671-05:00Hiya WW

He said his friend Shadow does this all the time, especially if you're inside the fast food place and they have condiment pkgs. sitting out on a condiment bar, he grabs as much as he can. :D<br /><br />Catman also said to keep the little wipes that come in the plastic utensil packages at the chicken places.<br /><br />Great post :D<br /><br />I hope you and YOF have a great day.<br /><br />Hugs~n~Love<br />~Felinae~Felinaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07997272830181104083noreply@blogger.com
