After everything that has been going on in the world the past few weeks, it has me wondering if we can ever really be prepared enough. Something is going to happen that we are not prepared for. Something is going to be worse than we ever thought that it could be and we are going to be left unprepared and in shock that it could be that bad. Worse than we ever imagined. All that I can do is get my family prepared as well as I can and hope for the best.
We need to start praying and get prepared spiritually as well!!

Buy In Bulk
If you ever get a chance check out a Dollar Tree store for great deals on stuff that you can stock up on. Cleaning supplies, paper items, etc. It is a great store to go too. I have even bought solar powered lights there!! Or you can go to DollarTree.com and buy it in bulk and have it shipped for free to the local store. Great way to save time and money on stockpiling items.

Food Price Watch - February 2011
Food Price Watch - February 2011
I wanted to share this link. I went to the grocery store yesterday and was shocked at how high the meat prices had gotten in just the 2 weeks since I had been there. It is just ridiculous. Milk was about 50 cents higher and eggs were 20 cents higher. It all adds up. But, the meat prices is what shocked me the most. Teeny tiny roasts that are usually about 3-5 dollars were priced about $12.00. Which I did not buy. That is just not right. I seen a lot of other people there looking at the meat and then just walking off. So sad. I only bought 2 1-pound packages of ground beef. I really do not know what we are all going to do with this price hike on every single thing. I guess this summer since I am going to have a garden - we will become full fledged vegetarians.

I Love This Beautiful Weather
Even though it will be short lived and we have rain coming this weekend, I am loving this spring like weather!! I have all of my laundry hanging out to dry, did some yard work, and even cleaned out my shed!! Now I have room for the lawn mower. I can't wait until Spring is official. I can't wait until I can mow the yard and plant flowers. Start my garden. Go for walks!
Oh boy , this is going to be a great year.

Beef Jerky All Over The House!
What does a 17 year old do on a weekend when he has no plans and all of his friends are sick and can't do anything??
They spend the whole weekend making beef jerky, of course!
First he got a few pounds of beef that was already cut into thin strips for stir fry and was on markdown. Got it all for about $6.00 with tax and all. Then he got some new marinade. One that he had used before - a mesquite. Then he got another one that sounded good (and turned out to be VERY good!) -a teriyaki!
He got everything ready and soaking in marinade and then filled up the food dehydrator. 4 trays of the beef jerky!! Turned it on and went back to writing. He checked it every once in a while and moved it around and stuff. When it was done he found a glass jar that I had saved from a jar of beans and put it all in there.
He has gotten quite good at making beef jerky. I love watching him do stuff like that. It makes me proud to be his mom.

Will Be A Busy Weekend!!!
Finally got my new foot pedal for my sewing machine and will be sewing a ton!! I have not been able to sew in months. I had to save up coupon money to be able to buy this new foot pedal, but it will be worth it. I will be sewing Little Ones summer wardrobe to save money. Little One's shorts are so easy to make. Plus I have some stuff that I want to sew up and use my stash up to try and make some extra money. Just am so happy to have the sewing machine back and have the sewing bug again!!!
I also have to walk to the store tomorrow. That will be fun!! It is supposed to be sunny and about 50 degrees so I won't freeze, but it is just the idea that I have to do it tomorrow because it is supposed to rain all next week and I won't have any other chance. My Fibromyalgia is flaring up and I can hardly move so it will be hard to get up and go tomorrow. But I have too.
It will just be a busy weekend.
WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING THIS WEEKEND TO GET PREPARED??

A Year Supply Of Food!!
What do you do this year with your tax check?? If you are me - You get a year supply of food storage from Nitro-Pak!! This is something that me and my husband had talked about since December. We had been wondering what to do with his tax check. We know that we need a vehicle , eventually, but right now - since he is a truck driver and we live in a very small town where everything is within walking distance. We thought , for us , it was better to get a food storage for our family. We still have a bit of savings to put towards a car. So, soon we will have this year supply of food to put back. I have been working on other stockpiling and everything else is coming together. God will provide us with a vehicle when the time is right.

Be Prepared For An Earthquake
4 Person Standard Survival Kit
The best way to be prepared is to get a earthquake survival kit together. Teach your children what to do in case of an earthquake and have a plan in place for what to do if there is one.
The first part of your earthquake safety disaster plan should include everything you can do ahead of time --
• Secure breakables in your home
• Develop a disaster plan
• Develop an evacuation plan - and set a meeting location
• Make a plan for pets and animals
• Review your home for structural weaknesses
• Set aside water and food reserves
• Keep extra prescriptions and eyeglasses available
During an earthquake -
• During an earthquake protect yourself and small children
• Stay positioned - don't move around until after the earthquake stops
After an earthquake -
• Check for injuries among family members
• Check for structural damage to the home
• When safe, put your safety disaster plan into action
It's important to have the details worked out in advance of when a disaster hits. After a disaster, some people may panic and having a list of what to do in an orderly fashion helps to calm people down. When your world has just been shaken, often, the best thing to do is begin checking off the things you need to do: return to some form of normalcy.
Remember that during an earthquake you can be cut off from emergency services, water, fuel, food, banks and other retail outlets for an extended period. Be prepared!
Earthquake Preparedness
Here are some free manuals that you can print out and some other information about earthquakes.

A New Week Of Prepping
So far this week is starting out great. I woke up to strawberries done in the dehydrator and have them vacuum sealed. I actually found a new foot pedal for my vintage sewing machine!!! Hopefully it will be here by weekend. I have stack of sewing that I want to do! It has been stacked up for a few months. Not a good winter , not being able to sew to pass the time away.
The car that we had been using off and on of my daughters finally died for good. I do not even feel bad about it. I will just walk every where. Like I did anyway. I did not like driving her car. Just felt odd to have to borrow a car from my daughter. So now I have to save for us a vehicle. Hope to find another van or a truck for a low price.
I am going to try and keep from posting anymore doom and gloom news stories on here. LOL. I just want everyone to know so that they will get prepared also.
I hope that everyone else has a great week and gets there butts in gear on their prepping!! Get your gardens planned, food stored, and anything else that might be needed in your household if the SHTF!!
