Try to buy your cans of PUMPKIN now

With sweet potatoes selling for 25¢/lb and several butternut squash I bought on sale, I don't have to care that the price of canned pumpkin in Colorado has almost doubled.

Next year... I will make a second attempt to grow my own... last year the ducks ate my supply as soon as they sprouted!!!

They mentioned months ago that there was going to be a shortage of canned pumpkin but not pumpkin pie filling. We think there is a big difference in taste. We bought the canned pumpkin when we could and now glad we did because our stores are all out.

I was at a Dollar General today and they are all cleaned out of Libby's. I didn't see any othe kind of pumkin there either.

Plenty of Libby's Pumpkin at our Walmart today for $1.37.

Also, sweet potatoes for .25 a pound. Do chickens eat sweet potatoes? Do I have to cook or bake them first?

Food lion has them for Buy one get one Free... I have 4 extra cans now! They also had turkey's at $0.40lb today.

Ours love them if cooked. I throw them in the microwave and then cut them into chunks. They seem too tough for the chickens if they're raw - some of the girls will still eat them, but most don't. Cooked ones get gobbled up in no time - and make their yolks dark and rich.

That explains it!!!

Last weekend I tried in two local Food Lion stores and the shelves were empty. When I went to Cambridge (MD) I stopped by the Food Lion there and they had plenty. Now I have 10 new cans...here comes my pumpkin bread after all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!!
