The Numbers Are In! (revision)

So anyways I must have an addiction to canning because I spent all day yesterday Canning 19 more Qts. of Spaghetti Sauce and 6 Qts. and 4 Pts. of Tomatoes. Just so everyone know I only bought 5 boxes of Jars. Everything else came from my Grandparents, Mother-in-Law, Parents, and yard sales. So it was all really cheap especially since most of the food was from my garden or free. Oh and also another change as my Hubby pointed out he was a big help in my canning endeavors. Thanks a bunch Hon! So I am so glad that this years canning is all over and hopefully this will last our family through out the year.
