I have heard the "R" word 3 times this week, have you too?

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™”
