A few years ago I came across a killer deal on canned corn. It was about $0.30/can for Green Giant corn. I thought that was a great deal for any brand so I bought one case. Then something happened. I got hooked on Green Giant corn. It is so sweet and yummy that I found I couldn't buy any other brand and enjoy it.
So, if you want to try what I think is the yummiest canned corn now is your chance. The Green Giant veggies are regularly $1.49/can at Smith's but they are on sale until Tuesday (tomorrow!) for $0.49/can! Please note the prices below are all the final price when you buy in groups of ten. I was there today and there was still plenty of vegetables and cream soups. Here are the great deals:
Green Giant Corn $0.49/can
Green Giant Cream Corn $0.49/can
Green Giant Cut Beans $0.49/can
Green Giant Sliced Green Beans $0.49/can
Campbells Cream of Chicken Soup $0.69/can
Campbells Cream of Mushroom soup for $0.69/can
Swanson Chicken Broth $0.49/can
Stove Top Stuffing $0.79/box
Del Monte Fruit $0.99
Ocean Spray Cranberry Sauce $0.99
Marie Callendars Frozen Pies $4.49
Awesome prices for brand names!
Remember you must buy any combination of 10 of these items to get the good deals. You can also price match at Walmart and then you usually don't need to buy in tens.
Happy shelf stocking!

Lindon Cannery Needs Missionaries - Part Time
Please see letter below:
Dear Subscribers,
We are way behind in finding missionaries for 2013. If you are possibly interested in serving at the Cannery next year, please send an email to wel-ca-lindon-wetpack@ldschurch.org . Please include your stake name.
We are needing around 10 new missionaries. Lindon Cannery missionaries serve for 1 year (Jan-Dec) for 2 assigned, 4.5 hour shifts a week (between 8-10 hours/week). We will only be working on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in 2013 and do not schedule production for the month of July. When needing to be gone on an assigned day, there are several other missionaries who do the same job you do so you can get substitutes and will be asked to substitute if needed.
This is an immediate request. First day of training is December 10, 2012. (No other responsibilities in December.) First day of production is January 8, 2013. We are down to the wire!!!
Looking forward to hearing from you! Remember to send to the email above. Do not reply to this email.

Winterized Vehicles
I know I am not the only one that absolutely loved the snow this morning. I was lucky enough to drive the kids to school during the 20 minutes that it was acutally snowing. I must say I very much enjoyed (no, I am not being sarcastic) driving slow in the winter weather. Ahh, I love winter snow.
But, this brings us to an important point in the year. Time to winterize your car!
Last time we learned how to make a portable heater for your car. Now I have a list of other essential items and suggestions to keep you traveling safe during the winter months ahead.
First of all see that you have what you need to make simple repairs or change a tire on the go. You should already have these in your vehicle. Items you want may include:
And a few tips during winter travel season:
Finally, how to effectively winterize your car to avoid being stranded on the side of the road.
Remove leaves, twigs and other debris
Check your tires' condition - put on snow tires if you have them
Check tire pressure
Check to see that all lights are working
Check your heater and defrost system
Have your brakes checked
Check your windshield wiper blades and fluid
Make sure battery is fully charged
Check the anti-freeze, which may not need changing (see owner's manual)
Get your emergency car kit and put it in the car
Check out this link to an interesting article from Get Gephardt about winterizing and driving in the snow:

Hope you found these tips helpful. Now is the time to be prepared - before the disaster strikes.

First of all see that you have what you need to make simple repairs or change a tire on the go. You should already have these in your vehicle. Items you want may include:
- jumper cables
- wrench
- pliers
- screwdriver
- spare tire - make sure it has enough air in it
- portable car heater
- blankets
- gloves
- snow scraper
- flashlight
- batteries
- matches
- flares or reflective triangle
- first-aid supplies
- whistle
- old carpet strip or kitty litter for traction
- energy bars or other snacks
- card games or other entertainment
And a few tips during winter travel season:
- Make sure your cell phone is fully charged when going out -or- have some change in the car for phone calls (if you are lucky enough to be near civilization).
- Keep the gas tank in your vehicle at least 1/2 full all the time. Then, if you are stranded you should have some time to keep the car warm by running the engine. This will also help prevent gas lines from freezing.
- Keep a safe distance from the car in front of you.
- Brake sooner and slower than usual and turn slower when in slippery conditions.

Cozy Car in the Winter
I am already loving the cold crisp Fall air. I am hoping this means a bundle of snow isn't too far away. I can picture it now:
Sitting in my comfy chair in my bunny slippers, sipping hot cocoa and watching the gigantic snowflakes fall to the ground. Getting snowed in would be so much fun!
Wait! Unless you happen to be in your car somewhere not quite home yet. Are you prepared for a situation like this?
To help us get prepared, I will post some simple instructions from ehow.com on how to make an inexpensive car heater should you be stranded for a long period of time.
Now you can have a cozy car while you wait out the storm. Storing bunny slippers and hot cocoa is optional.
Next week we'll get into other essential items that would be of value in this situation.

Definition
- A homemade car heater is a small device placed in your car that heats it up when your car has broken down. They can be used to avoid the excessive carbon monoxide produced by your car if you leave it on to use the heater, which may end up killing you.
Materials
- You will need a roll of unscented toilet paper, six bottles unscented isopropyl alcohol, an empty metal can just taller than the toilet paper roll, matches, a 3 lb. coffee can and an aluminum pot wider than the coffee can. Store these in a large, sealed container in the trunk of your car.
Building Method
- Start by adding your toilet paper roll into the smaller empty metal can. Remove the cardboard core and any sheets necessary to fit the roll snugly in the can. Place this can into the coffee can and place this on the passenger seat floor. Pour several ounces but not a whole bottle of the alcohol onto the toilet paper and crack a window for ventilation. Light a match and throw it on the toilet paper. Conserve fuel by covering the can with the aluminum pot when your car is comfortably warm. Continue using your heater in this method until help arrives.

Even Easier Water Storage - the Caselot Sale!
Check out Smith's caselot sale. It runs through next Tuesday, the 18th.
http://www.smithsfoodanddrug.com/Pages/default.aspx
Follow that link and click on the 'weekly ad' button in the top right corner of the page. The caselot is on page 7.
During the caselot you can get a 24 pk of bottled water for $2.50! Now there's an easy way to stock up on water storage!
I noticed there are a lot of caselot items in the store that I didn't see in the ad. I saw brown and powdered sugar, brownie mixes, vegetables, fruit, mac n cheese, etc. Drop by Smiths and check it out.
Also, on a great sale is Kraft Mayo and Miracle Whip. When you buy 10 particpating items, they are only $2.50 each. In addition, if you buy 10 quailifying Kraft items, you will get a $10 off your next shopping order coupon printed at checkout. That makes each container or Mayo/Miracle Whip only $1.50. Not too bad.
One more thing to remember, last year I was able to price match the caselot price on single items at Walmart. I assume they would do this again if you take your ad in. It doesn't hurt to try.
Have fun stocking your food and water storage!

Quick Water Storage
So far this year we have talked about food storage, 72 hour kits, and evacuation plans. Next up is water storage.
For a quick and easy way to store water and build up a supply gradually, simple rinse out (you may use 1tsp bleach to sanitize if you wish) and re-fill any plastic container with the letters "PETE" on the bottom of the bottle with water. Label the lid with a date and place it in your storage room. Old water bottles, Gatorade bottles, and 2 liter soda bottles work well for this purpose. Milk jugs and juice bottles are not recommended.
If your water has been commercially treated from a water utility with chlorine (not from a well), you don't need to add bleach to the water to keep it clean. Just go ahead and store it.
It is recommended you rotate your self-filled water storage every 6 months. However, water stored longer is safe in emergency situations, it just won't taste as good.
