Good idea. I’m using that argument for my hubby on why we need a canner NOW. He wants to wait till we grow enough stuff to can.<<<
Tell him no waiting, for at harvest time this year they will be sold out and you will loose your crop while waiting on some stores list for one to come in.
Canning things come first for you might be able to buy something to can from local farmers............I hope.
Get them while the getting is good. Waiting until you need them is too late.
Th thing I use my pressure canner for most is canning soup stock. When I have enough turkey or extra chicken scraps to make a BIG pot of stock, I cook it all down and can up the broth, usually several quarts worth.
