I have heard the "R" word 3 times this week, have you?
The “R” word is “recession”. Some forecasters are predicting a harsh winter and a coming recession. I believe it is good to be ready in both cases. This is where Thrifty living can help, for we show others how to live with less, but yet trying to live a fun, sharing life.
In my recent post, I talked about canning/preserving food. I have located a good source of canning jars, which later I will give the source too. You may also acquire them at Sam’s Club at a best “Thrifty Price™”
IF you yet to assess your life it is the time to do it and see how you can eliminate over-baggage and “Thriftyize™” your life and future for your lifelong benefit.
It is the now the time to prepare emergency supplies. First, purchase large Rubbermaid containers etc that is moisture proof. Inside put items, you may need and store in a readily available area and open periodically to check condition of contents.
Below are some of the items you may store in your Emergency Box or boxes.
A to Z medical First Aid Kit
Changes of clothes for all people in your household (including shoes, socks, undies, etc,)
MRE (meal make ready) you may buy online or get at your local Army/Navy Surplus Store.
Current local and extended area phone books
Extra cell batteries that are charged and even an extra cell phone. Pre-Paid Phones are great for this.
Really good Flashlights and plenty of batteries as long a you getting batteries get plenty the other sizes as well, you never know what you may need and can share along the way.
Weather Radios that take batteries and can be plugged in– at least 2 radios one in the box and one ready to be turned on in case of a storm.
Local, regional, and country maps.
Baby food, pet food and cat dog collars, etc even if you do not have a baby or pet someone else you meet along the way may need of these things.
Playing cards and a playing card rules book – it will help pass the time away if needed.
Duct Tape and plenty of it. (Do not get the cheap “Made in China” get the high quality kind that works and sticks.)
Good thick mil good quality trash bags.
Rope etc.
Orange hazard flags and signal flares etc.
And more
Think if 911 happened in you town or block would you be ready?
Always have your car gassed up and repairs made so if you have to go you can go.
Email me your list and I will add to this list to help others be prepared.
Once again “Living a Thrifty Life is living a prepared life™”

“Thriftyized™” Part Two ©2007 (Word and Concept Created by Rabbi Dale) ©2007 by Rabbi Dale All Rights Reserved
In older houses, I have seen grandparents etc. that they had a large walk-in room where food was stored on shelves etc. is called a “pantry”. In today’s houses a pantry in a new or recently built homes are no more than a two foot by two-foot closet, which would not hold two days worth of food. Every house should have a real olde time pantry and an underground storage room.
Houses have poorly designed rooms and not good in-house traffic flow you have to go through the whole house in order to get to the room you want to be. These homes make a house hard to be a thrifty home.
Take a look at your house and see how you can “Thriftyized™” it. Here are some suggestions on how to make your residence livable.
Move tables chairs etc away from the wall at lest four inches, this allows more air flow and help let air not get trapped in the room and makes pockets of hot or cold air.
Keep air filters on your air ventilation changed regularly
Changed vacuum bags before they get completely full.
Look at your stuff – do you really need fifteen pairs of black shoes? "Less
unneeded things you have more room for needed things."™ by Rabbi Dale
Make sure your home owners insurance is up to date along with photos of stuff in the house so to verify what you need when the time comes insurance-wise
Keep things in closets etc off the floor and stored at least 6 inches off the floor to minimized flood damage and rodent damage, especially foodstuffs.
Have a saving account so to deposit five% of wages for building and emergency maintenance.
The idea “Thriftyized™” is my concept of life. Along with your Thrifty Lifestyle, if you take the house etc., where you reside and make it as Thrifty as possible where you do not have to run to the store every five minuets etc. you have a residence and lifestyle that will work with you and not against you™.
More ideas are upcoming, if you have any ideas email me at WMSBlog(AT)yahoo.com Thank you for your imput.
Till next time may you have a Thrifty Living in Carolina and Beyond™

“Thriftyized™” Part One ©2007 (Word and Concept Created by Rabbi Dale) ©2007 by Rabbi Dale All Rights Reserved
Are you ready for the “H” word???
Yes, boys and girls it is Hurricane Season are you ready.
The point of having a great Thrifty Life™ is to have your lifestyle, domicile (i.e. house, apartment)and etc. making it “Thriftyized™” (word created by Rabbi Dale).
The idea “Thriftyized™” is my concept of life. Along with your Thrifty lifestyle, if you take the place, where you reside and make it as Thrifty as possible where you do not have to run to the store every five minuets etc. you have a residence and lifestyle that will work with you and not against you.
“Thriftyized™” is to make your house
Secure – One’s life and thoughts need to be concerned about your own/family/friend’s security, due to the real possibility in today’s world of a home invasion etc.
Energy efficient – one’s life does not need to be deterred by living in a domicile that is not atmospheric comfortable (not too hot nor too cold) but also needs to be the best value per buck.
Food Secure – making sure ones food needs are meet but again at the best value, taking the time to lead ones lifestyle to a more nutritious, healthy, and thrifty eating patterns. Having taken the time to can, buy thrifty from farmer's etc. To store food for own’s family as well as to have enough to share with those who have needs.
Biblical – Making sure the G-D of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob is the head of the home, and that you and your family, friends lifestyle brings honor to Him.
Sanitary – Making sure the home is not just picked up, but also thoroughly clean, free from potential accidents, fire hazards, and enviormental problems/hazards.
Disaster Resistant – You can never make a house 100% Disaster-Free but you can minimize the effects of a disaster by
o Removing all fire hazards,
o Removing structural problems
o Making one’s house resistant to severe weather storms
Being Prepared
Having needed items, equipment ready in-house being prepare for a hurricane and other natural/unnatural disasters; having extra food, water, generator, etc.
Having a family/friends disaster plan
Having actual drills to test readiness. Remember the Boy Scout® motto “Be Prepared”
Financial Fluidity – Living within one’s income and with a little less.
o Having and sticking to a workable budget
o Paying ones tithes
o Having a retirement fund IRA etc.(not Social Security that will probably be bankrupt by the time you retire anyway)
o Having more than enough insurance (Life, Health, Fire, Property, Vehicle, etc.) Buying in a group to get a better thrifty value. Lifelong Non-smokers, Non-Drinkers get better premiums (give up smoking & alcohol drinking its unhealthy and not thrifty.)

To me the one important facet to having a great “Thrifty Living”™2007
To me the one important facet to having a great “Thrifty Living”™2007 (™By Rabbi Dale) is to can what your have grown in your garden or have bought from a farmer or farmer’s market.
I am proof that men also can can too. It does take time/labor but instead of watching the young and the stupid on TV you along with family and friends can secure your collective thriftiness and future food.
This is the time of year here in Carolinas and Beyond™ that you can can fresh produce. (Is there and echo in here? Lol) Get it? “can can” Lol.
To have a ready supply of veggies alternatively instead of the store etc. you can also have an indoor garden grown in pots to have veggies etc. all year. If you are able and zoning allows it, you can have your own greenhouse or if you cannot build, build an extra family room and use it as an indoor greenhouse. In today’s age of terrorism and bad Communist China products, this is a safer way to go.
Mason Jars is the only jars I have used. There may be some cheaper from Communist China etc. but if you been reading my blogs I steer away from Communist China and their products that have been known to kill pets and humans.
North Dakota Extension has a lot of good info and well as other places, but here is are some links that can helps you on your way to a great camming future.

So today is a new day for Thrifty Living, I am writing this in my house than at my usual place.
So today is a new day for Thrifty Living, I am writing this in my house than at my usual place.
Today is my first blog since my accident. For those who do not know I was walking to minister at the First Baptist Church Soup Kitchen when a car went through a stop sign and hit me.
Today is also the first day in a year that I had my computer on. I no longer have to walk miles to use a free public access computer
I am just thankful to be alive and healing. I still feel miserable in body and soul.
So what am I going to blog about today? Well it is a good day about reaching out to a thrifty life in order to make your life more secure. You cannot overdraw on the funds you do not have so you need to live a life on the funds you do have and in order to do that you need to live within your means.
My life is hard to live within my means because I do not have regular income like others and do not have any family that is still living. I am handicap and poor but I do not draw any type of welfare check etc. so living thrifty is a must do for me.
The first thing to do to establish a thrifty lifestyle is to assess your life and true needs. The true needs are you have to have a place to live, eat, gainful employment, and yes even you must have leisure time so you do not go postal.
Take the time with your love ones and devise a plan to become thriftier. Living Thrifty is not easy but it is not hard as well and as you walk the life, it will become second skin to you. Read this column and see helpful insights how you can have a Thrifty Lifestyle.

I was walking to minister at our Soup Kitchen at First Baptist Church here in Orangeburg, SC where I have been ministering for over 5 yrs &....
Well yesterday was not a Thrifty Day for me and this post may be a little off topic but here it goes.
I was walking to minister at our Soup Kitchen/Community Kitchen at First Baptist Church here in Orangeburg, South Carolina where I have been giving the message of hope for over 5 years and I was hit by a vehicle. I ended up in the traffic lane about 10 feet were I started from. The black female I will not say here name must have been on the cell phone etc.
I waited for the ambulance that never came and the police where more in the hyped up masculine mood for they where looking for an escaped convict. It happened right across the street where King Clyburn is to have his Transportation palace on Russell.
I didn’t get here name or anything so I may have to pay for the medical bill by myself since I have no insurance and pay for stuff my self.
I ended up at the hospital after the soup kitchen.
They the radiotech took a lot of “sexy” pics of my ankle and knees. Lol.
I tried to go to the Family Health Center but they wouldn’t admit me saying the emergency room at TRMC Hospital was where I needed to go. At Family Health Center I would have only had to pay a thrifty price of $20 but now I may have to pay a $1,000.
I am really in pain today and I spent thrifty getting a box of Aleve™ 24 Tablets at Bi-Lo. Where the name is they Bi Lo (w) and Sell High. But it was under $4 bucks and I hope I got the best thrifty deal. I don’t like buying generic in pain killers off the self, I just feel unknowing if it’s really a good product.
I had some kind of reflux attack I ate outside and I could barely breathe and it seemed I had a bubble of gas coming up my esophagus. I got this a little at the Soup kitchen after the accident yesterday and told the Physician (who also was Jewish like me.) but at the time he didn’t see it as life threatening, but now it seems like life threatening to me it scared me, and it happen just 30 minuets ago.
All in all I praise G-D I am still alive, Praise G-D!!!
Well the moral of the story is if you want to live thrifty lives don’t get in an accident and have to go to the hospital.
It’s hard to live a thrifty life if you don’t get enough employment to get insurance. People think I am to handicap to work so in Orangeburg you have to live thrifty of you perish from the earth.
Now I don’t know how I am going to pay for the Hospital bill I try to pay $10 a month for the rest of my life I better live till I am 393 years old, Lol.
I hope you have a great day and well try to stay on topic next time, Lol. And please stay out of unthrifty accidents, Lol
Shalom till next time,
Rabbi Dale

Get Ready - Make sure your house is ready for Winter
Now is the time to go over and check to see if all the rat/mouse holes are closed. Not a pleasant idea but a must do before winter is amongst us. The time is now to clean and throw out junk. Look for air leaks etc.
While it’s still warm enough to look around make sure anything that needs repair to make your house comfy and safe for winter is done.
Simple advice but a Now must do.
Shalom,

Best Water is Almost Free Water
Best Water is Almost Free Water
Many people buy pallets of bottled water throughout the year but if you just simply buy a really good water purifier in-house and use tap water, you can almost pay nothing on your bottled water.
When you have to pay 50 cents or more for the water or $1 via the vending machine you spend hordes of money on something that you pay only pennies per 10 gallons.
You can buy empty water bottles/containers and refill them or ever reuse the “Augafina™ bottle just wash the inside every so often.
Thrifty living means making better choices in your buying-style and changes in your lifestyle.

Many people buy pallets of bottled water throughout the year but if you just simply buy a really good water purifier in-house and use tap water, you can almost pay nothing on your bottled water.
When you have to pay 50 cents or more for the water or $1 via the vending machine you spend hordes of money on something that you pay only pennies per 10 gallons.
You can buy empty water bottles/containers and refill them or ever reuse the “Augafina™ bottle just wash the inside every so often.
Thrifty living means making better choices in your buying-style and changes in your lifestyle.
Shalom,
Rabbi Dale
I hope you all a Thrifty life that Yeshua/Jesus promised in John 10:10 if you have any questions or comments you and email me at wmsblog”AT”yahoo.com

I was at my bank’s customer service and while we were waiting another person talked about washing clothes...
I was at my bank’s customer service and while we were waiting another person talked about washing clothes and not having the time to haul them to the Laundromat. So here is my personal Thrifty Living way or doing those things and saving time and money.
Manual Washing Machine.
A thrifty way to save money, time and gas if you don’t have a washing machine in-house is to find/buy a 5-7 gallon plastic bucket. Clean out really well!!!
It’s really good for like your underwear etc.
You can get a 5 gallon bucket from a Paint contractor (make sure you get one that held Latex/water-based paint.) or from the paint store. You may get them for free if you ask nicely or sent in your 97 year old grandmother for it, Lol Clean out bucket really well or try to get a never used bucket. Also having three or four of them can save more time, if used at the same time.
Washing Instructions:
1. Just place it under the faucet in the bathtub and run cold or hot water add laundry soap (preferably the liquid kind) and let soak till you get home after work of overnight.
2. When you’re ready to rinse. Before you dump soapy solution use feet or hands (PLEASE BE CAREFUL) I usually sit on commode and use hand since I am handicap. Push your hand up and down to agitate clothes fro a minute or two and then dump entire contents into bathtub. (If you haven’t cleaned bathtub in a while its good prudent to do so before you wash clothes.
3. Rinse inside bucket then fill bucket with clean water till overflowing then but clothes in and agitate them again, dump clothes out and wring them and rinse bucket and refill bucket aging with clean water again and then agitate clothes and again and repeat #3 again for two to three more times. More if needed due to dirtiness of clothes.
It’s good to have a line or bar in the middle of the bathtub so you can let the clothes drip while repeating #3
4. Take clothes outside to dry or you may hang them inside in a will not destroy the floor by dripping clothes “area”.
5. Iron as needed.
6. Walla you saved money on not using electricity for washing, drying, and driving to the Laundromat etc. and the time you saved as well.
Wow you are Thrifty!!!!
I hope you all a Thrifty life that Yeshua/Jesus promised in John 10:10 if you have any questions or comments you and email me at wmsblog”AT”yahoo.com

Yesterday was the hottest day of the year. So what do I want to blog about today?
Winter is coming R U Ready?
Yesterday was the hottest day of the year. So what do I want to blog about today?
Get ready for old man winter! That’s right it will soon be Winter Brrrrrrrr!
Now is the time to go over your living area (i.e. house, apartment, condo, and mansion) and see how you can winterize it. To winterize it is like to summerize it and see how you can cool or heat the area economical, thrifty. Many live in an older home and the best and thriftiest way to winterize your windows is to but storm windows in or if you want a thriftier way is to but a sheet of plexiglass in and overlay and secure it with a wood trim sealed with chalking. If you trap air in between plexiglass and the original window you also trap air cold and warm air from escaping and thereby saving you money in heating and cooling cost.
Most people realize it cost more to heat a house than to cool a house. So get ready for winter.
CAUTION: Don’t seal up a window you may have to use for a fire escape.
To be a thrifty person you got to be like the squirrel and be ready fro winter. There are many things you can do and as the next few days go by I will explain ways to get ready for the coming cold.
Until then stay cool and drink a lot of ice in water.

“Living Cheap” is not the way to have a thrifty life.
“Living Cheap” is not the way to have a real Thrifty Life. A young woman approximately early twenty something, with a fairly decent job and paycheck writes about living cheap, why I don’t know except that she fell under the spell of the little plastic card. I have read her stuff but it like I was at her age. I read a book “Champagne living on a beer budget: How to buy the best for less” by Mike Ferguson; Marilyn Ferguson Published by, Putnam [1968] and I proceeded to try to live a thrifty life with a lot of trial and error. Lol!
What I write about in my “Thrifty Living in Carolina & Beyond” is decades of actual experience of living a thrifty life subtracting the pit falls I have blunder into which the 20 something seems to be doing right now. She just discovers about saltines and honey which someone introduced her to put forgot to tell her about adding peanut butter. Now what I would do is go to the Sara Lee bread company thrift store and buy some real whole wheat and have a peanut butter and honey sandwich which is good nourishment and very thrifty. The cost of honey is high but per portion the price is very thrifty. You may look at the other in-store whole wheat bread compare to the Sara Le brand you may get a better price per pound. But go to the Sara Lee thrift store they have more than just bread. They have cookies, peppermint balls at reduced prices.
But if you can find an Arnold bread or Pepperidge Farms bakery thrift store you get really great bread at a really thrifty price.
I spend a lot of time which college students as well as graduates and they are like I was and thought they knew everything and fall flat on their face.
I hope she learns to read blogs of wisdom like mine and others that can show her how to have a great life by “Thrifty Living” not by living cheap. You learn to make wise choices as well as group bulk buying power and life can be fun.
Oh P.S. while Saltines is good I rather have a “Ritz”
