3 whole green peppers
3 whole red and yellow bell peppers
5 large onions
3 tablespoons salt

Put all veggies in food processor (I prefer my Ninja) Put in bowl with 3 tbs salt poured over veggies. Let sit 10 minutes. Squeeze out as much juice as possible by hand.
In very large pot, mix vinegar, sugar, seeds, and turmeric.
Mix all together and boil 5 minutes. Pour over veggies. Heat all until almost boiling. Put in sterilized jars and water bath 15 minutes. Wipe rib of jar, poke a butter knife in side of jar to release air, leave 1" headspace. Lid, ring-not tight. Let sit at least 24 hrs, then tighten ring and store.
You can eat it as a side dish, eat it with beans, stir it into potato salad, top a hotdog or hamburger with it, etc. Anything that you put pickle relish on, this can be used or added to as well

Last Night's Coupon Haul!
Last night's coupon haul. My best savings so far! I got all of this which would have come to $68.66 before sales and coupons for $14.65
The Finish dishwashing tabs is normally $4.99 each, on sale at Discount Drug Mart (last night was the last day for this sale) for $2.99 each. I had 9 coupons for $2.15 each so we paid 84 cents each (I bought 5 and Greg bought 4 but there was no limit on the coupon or store ad). The Wisk laundry detergent is normally $4.99 each, on sale at Discount Drug Mart for $3.99 and I used 3 $1 off coupons making them $2.99 each. Finally, the baking cups I got at Walmart. I got 4 packs of foil wrappers and 5 packs of paper wrappers (92 cents for the paper and 1.07 for the foil ones) and I had 9 $1.00 each coupons making them FREE. Yay! So I saved $54.01!
Oops...I got 12, not 9, so that's $3 more in savings!

Welcome to Calvary Couponers!
We are Christian couponers helping one another save money and be better stewards of the gifts the Lord has given us! As we network together to help one another save money for our families, we are also striving to"pay it forward" and help our communities by contributing to church food pantries and homeless shelters, etc. We are also learning to pass our couponing skills forward to others. Like the old saying goes: "If you give a man a fish you've fed him for a day. If you teach him HOW to fish, you've fed him for a lifetime."
"Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest." -Proverbs 6:6-8
