In store my baking powder and yeast in the freezer.

They do fine that way.

One thing I always look for on sale at this time of year is chocolate morsels. They always go on sale and I stock up on mini morsels which we use in homemade granola and zucchini bread.

Flour, sugar, and butter typically go on sale now, too. I’ve gotten great values on pie crusts as well.

Lots of people are doing holiday baking, particularly Christmas cookies. That’s why I’ve noticed the sales on baking supplies.

When I picked up my turkey at Aldi’s yesterday, I also got some butter. They had them for a $2.49, limit of six.

“Whenever you find a sale on REAL butter, go ahead and stock up. You can freeze butter or you can home-can it. Canned butter lasts for years if the seals are secure and it’s kept in a cool place.
Always pressure can butter instead of water-bathing it. Butter is dairy and non-acidic so the water bath method will not stop botulism. Canning butter is so easy and the best type of jars to use are half-pint, wide-mouth jars. The wide mouth makes it easier to get the butter out of the jars and opening a half pint at a time is convenient for most families.”

I used this method several years ago, it worked great. The jars I have are still sealed.
