Getting set up for home canning is a bit pricey

Garage sales and thrift stores!

Glass canning jars, mill, funnels - etc. yes. The pressure canner? Well, yes - but you have to really kind of know your stuff before buying at a garage sale.

The CONDITION the items are in is very important, and if newbies try to buy without doing lots of homework, it could be bad.

I decided to buy the major stuff new and cut the risk out.
