Wow, you did great! I've never thought about canning beans. That is a good idea. I definitely stockpile. I can a lot during the summer. Usually shop for groceries every four to six weeks and really stock up then on food, too. I also stock up on yarn. Although I'm not sure if that's really a good thing or not. It might be more of an obsession. lol
Have a lovely week!
