Home Depot is having a sale on Kingsfort charcoal 2-20 pound bags for $ 9.88. The normal price in So. Ca. is at $20.00 So about 1/2 off. Now to find a place for 40 pounds of charcoal. We don’t use it much any more, so usually just buy a small 5 pound bag. This gives us another back up for the back up…. 😀 😀

Of corse if you do your on canning, even…[Read more]
