Welcome to the Food Storage Made Easy Monthly Meal-in-a-Jar Group! I’m so excited you want to join me on this adventure this year. As a special bonus for being a part of this group I’m giving you a free copy of my Meal-in-a-Jar eCookbook. This should give you a sneak peek at some of the fun we have ahead of us.

Going forward every month your meal-in-a-jar group email will contain the following:

Recipe using items from the monthly specials at Thrive Life
Shopping list for size of can and quantity needed
Cute labels for your jar meals

It's most cost effective to do the meals in batches of 12 jars so plan for that unless you are ok with having extras of the ingredients left over after you make your meals.

In order to get the best prices, perks, and free shipping you will want to make sure you are signed up for Thrive's delivery service. All orders over $100 to the United States and Canada (except Hawaii and Alaska) are free shipping, and you can pause or cancel at any time. Every month you can go in and edit your delivery to include the ingredients for your jar meals as well as any other items you might want to add to your pantry or to your food storage!
