With grocery and gas prices continually on the rise it is important to find creative ways to save money.

I've am a freezer-cooking fanatic and love the money I save by buying food in bulk and storing meals in my deep freezer.  For me...freezing is quick and simple, "canning" on the other hand, scares me.

I thought I'd share this "canning basics" video with you which has inspired me to give canning a try this Fall. I'm planning to start with pickles..what about you?
