Traffic here is usually not bad at all, unless you come through at the start of a holiday weekend and the place is filled with RV's! I never thought to check the grange for canning supplies. I'll call them in the morning.
Or I may go to the other side of the Mtns and pick up some apricots while I'm there. I found great prices at "Yokes", but the closest Yokes is in Kennewick or Spokane.
Where is Winco? Are they related to Wall Mart? If so, DH won't be happy if I go there.
Winco is, according to my daughter, who knows ALL about them (ask hallerlake what it's like when my daughter knows ALL about something
), a west coast chain, not related to Windixie. *I* won't shop Wallyworld, so your husband and I are in accord on that one. Winco's the new big thing around here, and have a grand bulk section and really good prices on lamb, according to my sources.
One other source you might look into for pectin and flats and rings is Vermont Country Store online. I wouldn't buy jars from them, the shipping would eat you alive, but they used to have good prices on canning supplies.
I used to buy holiday candy from them (VCS) because they have stuff I can't find anywhere else. Then I gave up candy. I think it needs a come-back. I looked for Winco - Renton or Everett, not sure what is closer, probably Renton. I'll need another reason to go down or I'll eat up the saving in gas!
