Prepare All Year Round for Everything, Not Just One Thing

Comments 0 Comment

I have been asked over and over again, “What do you prepare for?”They all expect one answer or to hear one thing. The truth is that very few people I know prepare for one thing. They prepare for many things or everything. Very rare that someone ever prepares for one thing. That is foolish and narrow-minded.I prepare for everything year round. I might prepare more for things depending on the season or current conditions in our country. During the Spring…

Starting to hate the term “prepper”

Starting to hate the term “prepper”

Comments 0 Comment

“Where are the prepping articles?” “I thought you were a prepper, but I haven’t seen any posts lately.” I almost starting to hate that term “prepper”.

They simply want to be ready for anything that could come their way. I feel the same. The term “prepper” gives people the connotation of some one who is…

If I clean, tidy, and organize a shelf,…

This week’s frugal tip is an offshoot of yesterday’s post about Corn Casserole. In the tips and suggestions, I have listed one about using up the ends of pasta that are in boxes. I don’t let these gems go to waste! This is still food and money spent. I have actually helped people clean out their food pantries and kitchens and they will throw these away. What?!?! Don’t do that! Let me help you! Invest in one of these: I…

Have we lost the ability to take care of ourselves?

Have we lost the ability to take care of ourselves?

Comments 0 Comment

From watching the natural disasters that have happened in the last few years, one has to ask that question: have we lost the ability to take care of ourselves? I am starting to think we as a collective group of people have lost that ability. That, or we have lost the common sense, the ability to assess the situation. and the ability to make the good decisions to take care of ourselves. We have become so dependent on others and…
