Painful price rise
A few days ago, wandering through my local supermarket (in the Kroger chain) I noticed the preserving products. With a sinking heart, I saw packages of Sure-Jel (one-batch size) for $3.89! OMG, after you factor in the price of sugar, even if you grow your own fruit, the price of jam making is no longer a bargain. Of course, when you look at commercial jams and even the farmers' market locally made, they are hovering at $5-10 per jar. Ball pectin, in their online store, is still listed at $.99/pkg. I may have to plan ahead and buy online this year. gloria p |
