newish freezer decided it would rather not. i can claim up to
$250 in losses on the contents & i've pretty much figured out
the meat & veggies value, but i'm stuck on a value for the
rhubarb...
i have a LOT of rhubarb, about 30 pounds (yeah, i like the
stuff) & since i grow it, i have no idea what it sells for.
this is really what i want compensation for. i can replace
everything else, but i can't get more rhubarb until spring
so, if i can get averages on rhubarb prices, i'll add it to
my list.
thanks,
lee
oh, and a fast way to use up 5 pounds of hot dogs would help
a lot too.

When the same thing happened to me with my refrigerator, my insurance
company told me to go to the grocery store and price out everything, even
the herbs and so forth that I grew in my garden and had frozen as well as
the salmon and trout that we had caught and frozen. The contents of my
refrigerator/freezer came to about $600. No cheating either.

If they're wrapped and airtight they should keep in the fridge for
several weeks, unopened.

Or invite the local high school ball team over for a cookout.

a dollar for 30 pounds of rhubarb? are you nuts?
i take it you do not garden or put up food yourself? or
perhaps you work for free?
are you one of those people who think $120 for a handspun
handknit sweater is way overpriced too?

That's likely green grocer price... what about the value of your
processing and packaging... and for home grown organic I'd double that.

Eastern PA, Just saw it the other day for ~ $2.50/lb at the local
Italian market that has great inexpensive produce. Add ~ $1/lb if using
Wegmans etc as a reference.
