I wanted to buy a 50 lb bag of yellow onions yesterday at the Restaurant Supply store. But I can't lift that much and it would take me days to process. So I bought onions at WM for 48 cents per lb and will dehydrate a bunch of them. Also bought clearance yellow and red peppers for 33 cents each and will dehydrate them.
I've dehyd potatoes, but I didn't know at the time that blanching them is a good idea. So I'm trying to grow some. I bought a tub, will drill some holes, and grow some red potatoes. Did you know potatoes are either determinate or indeterminate like tomatoes?
I bought some clearance salmon and cod filets, and vac packed and froze them.
p.s. There was NO RAW meat at the restaurant supply. NONE. When they get their order in today, the cashier said they were going to limit to two per purchase. Even their large slabs of deli meats were in very short supply.
OH, and Costco is requiring masks starting Friday. This has all sorts of locals up in arms about their freedom rights. (rolls her eyes and deeply sighs...)
I dehydrated potatoes a few years ago and they lasted a long time, but I do not remember how I did it. My onions I used them up so fast that I am not sure how long they would have lasted.
