If anybody is interested, Safeway has five pounds of potatoes for 99 cents today and tomorrow only. (Well, at least in my part of AZ.)

This is the time to get that dehydrator out of the garage, and slice up those babies, dehydrate them and store them in a zip lock for future use.

Wild pigs will dig up any that I put into the ground, if the moles don’t get to them first.

Every sprout on a potato, will yeild an abundance of potatoes to dehydrate or can or freeze for future use.

>>>Wild pigs will dig up any that I put into the ground,<<<

Hey, a cheap way to work up the garden... Scatter a few plants of some root crop they like and invite them in when you need to get the garden plowed... LOL

Now if you could just figure out how to tell them which areas and what days you want it done...

The price on the potatoes is great! That is about the same price per pound we used to see around here for 50# bags right from the grower - 5 years ago!

Today, a 50# bag goes for about $12 or $2.10 more than the Safeway price. Hmmmm local Safeways closed a few years back... So, wonder what the shipping would be... LOL

Company I used to work for (food distribution co.) had 2 trucks that continuously looped to run frozen food to New England, then picked up potatoes in Maine, hauled them to Florida, picked up orange juice and returned it here for distribution.

Anyway, thanks for the tip - hope you join in often...
