Comments 0 Comment

One of the great pluses and downfalls of social media is the ability to let everyone know what you are doing and where you are at at any given time.

Many people think the option of “checking in” and “finding their location” is just wonderful so they can…

(Preparedness on the Cheap is a series of articles for the prepper and everyone else that doesn’t have a lot of money, but needs to take steps to be prepared.

One of the things I have been trying to do in the last few months is a $10 preparedness challenge. I have mostly been challenging myself and proving to myself that anyone on a budget could prep. I have been budgeting $10 every pay period (bi-weekly) to use towards preps. Preps can be anything! Prepping has many, many areas.

Using Your Tax Refund for Your Prepping

Using Your Tax Refund for Your Prepping

If you are one of those lucky people who get a tax refund, consider yourself blessed. I do! I didn’t get as much back as last year and I am perfectly okay with that. However, my tax refund goes towards stocking and restocking my house as well as the necessities and priorities that need to be taken care of. New shelving! One of last year’s purchases!
