Prepping can seem like such an expensive adventure. Many people think that in order to be a good prepper you need the big things: a whole house generator, a safe room, a bug out shelter in a hidden location, every gun known to man with several hundred rounds for each gun, and more. With that thought, we scare away more people from prepping or feeling like they are prepared because they don’t have the biggest prepping ticket items.In fact, I…
In the twenty-plus years of paying utility bills and growing up in a house that was very conscious of its water and electricity use, I have learned some tips and tricks to reduce those costs. Some of these tips will not cost you a thing and will provide immediate results. Some results will not be immediately seen. For some of these tips, you will need to pay to save.
