I looked at Fire Cider prices online .... whoo whee ... that will knock the whine straight out of a person regarding the work of making your own. Eight ounces was running $16 - $20 and 16 ounces was high $20’s with some over $30.
I have Gladstar’s book and love it - plenty of recipes to try.

I went to a small local market within a few minutes of the house. I wanted to check if they had eggs & if so, the prices.
They had local, brown eggs for $6 & ‘rainbow’ eggs from their own chickens for $7. I had been paying $5 for local eggs in various places, including a farm near our old house. I don’t mind the $6 price; however, I will be happy when I can arrange for my own chickens. My niece has offered to hatch some for me.
The eggs I bought had a label: “Butt Nuggets” .... I had to laugh.
