A relative of mine was a food processor. He sold Ivanhoe mayonaise, and in 1934 published the recipe as part of his advertisements. The ingredients worked out to 30 cents a pint for someone at home. It sold in stores for 32 to 35 cents a pint at that time, and provided a jar that was useful for canning afterwards. In the quart size it was 50 cents.
How could he do that? As is common today, he worked with suppliers to cut their costs, had other products that used waste (his mayonaise used egg yolks, and he had other products that used the whites) and made his product in large batches with purpose built machinery.

I can get all the meat I want - I mean heart - tongue - kidney - pigs head etc..from a slaughter house 10 miles away - for free!!! I don't even go there as often anymore because they give me so many bags of totally fresh meat that I don't have anymore room in my freezer. I wish I could find some "poor" people around where I live so I would send them there..
That would feed so many families for ever because you can get it anytime - year round - they THROW IT AWAY!!!
People either don't like it - so they are not hungry enough - or just don't know. But when you are REALLY hungry you look somewhere else than at Hannaford. Even at Hannaford actually - the other day I found a piece of pork for $2.95 - huge - I had for 4 days of meat - that would have feed a family of five for at least 2 days.
I am sorry to say that American don't know what hunger is. Ask europeans - they know - the war - they know all the tricks.
But they spend in food before they buy a flat screen tv or iPhones - they buy cheap from farmers potatoes - onions - garlic etc..and store in the cellar for the winter.
My point is that if you really look, here in America, here is free food everywhere if you look for it. Tonnes of fruits and vegetables after a market closes - they throw away what was not sold also. Free meat at the slaughter houses and may be some potatoes that you will have to buy?
And if you live in the country - duck dynasty: HUNT or trade.
I know it's easy to say but the slaughter house free meat is true and veggies and fruits when markets close is also true. Why anyone think of that? I guess everyone has one of those not too far from their home?

I’m guessing that mustard is powdered mustard instead of prepared mustard?
A quart of mayo? Snort. Today, those “quarts” are 28 oz or less and the jars are plastic. Canning jar prices have gone up like everything else. The other day, I bought a box of jars that had a “bonus” package of pectin. I was going to use the pectin for jelly making and thought they’d made a new formula that didn’t weigh as much until I looked at it closely (thankfully before I dumped it into the jelly) and it was only enough for 2 jars. Excuse me, 2 jars?!? Who makes anything for just 2 jars??? No thanks, Ball. What a rip off.
