Save Money While You Stockpile - 7 Tips To Using Coupons

1. Buy at least two Sunday papers each week to help you build your coupon base. You can usually find the Sunday paper in bundles of two for a discount price. Many papers will also sell their unsold papers for a discount during the following week.

2. Find and bookmark a few couponing blogs that you like to read. Couponing blogs are a great source of encouragement as well as little tidbits of useful information. The key is to find blogs that you enjoy enough to visit on a regular basis and which you feel comfortable enough with the posters to interact.

3. Find and bookmark all the (truly) free printable coupon sites (Like - Coupons.com you can find. Since almost every printable coupon site has a limit of two prints per coupon per computer, you either have to make use of multiple computers or multiple sites if you need to print more than two coupons. Not only do you want to use sites that are free, you want to use sites that do not ask for any personal information (unless you like spam).

4. Know your store's coupon policy and keep a copy with you when you shop. Knowing the policy will save you from being embarrassed at the checkout for inadvertently violating the policy. Taking the policy with you allows you to insist that the store follow their policy when you run into a cashier (or even a manager) that doesn't know the policy. Being able to prove the terms of the policy can sometimes mean the difference in getting the bargain or going home empty handed.

5. Make a shopping list and stick to it. Regardless of whether you use coupons or not, shopping from a list saves you money as it deters impulse buying. Impulse buying absolutely cuts into the savings you obtain from using coupons. Don't do it.

6. Locate sources of free coupon inserts such as friends and family who haven't learned the value of couponing. Have them save their inserts for you. Look for places where you can obtain discarded inserts. One place that is a goldmine for discarded inserts are recycling bins at apartment complexes.

7. Make use of in-store coupons such as "blinkies", "peelies" and "catalinas". Blinkies are machines next to products in the store that dispense coupons. Peelies are coupons attached to products. Catalinas are the coupons that print out at the register.

Keeping Warm and Hidden?

We were talking the other day about how we would stay warm in the winter in a SHTF situation. I was saying that we would do better with a wood burning stove, but hubby brought up a great thought - IF we have a wood burning stove going there would be smoke coming out of our house BROADCASTING to anyone that we have heat and most likely food etc! So then we got on the idea of a good kerosene heater , which I really don't like just because of having to have fuel for it. But he said we could use it and put some of that Santa Snow Frost (for Glass/Mirror surfaces) on all of our windows so anyone walking by would think that the house had no heat. What a crazy idea. I wonder if it would actually work. It would look like the windows are all frosted up and cold. Anyone walking by would think the house was empty, maybe. Is there any other type of heat that can be used that does not use so much fuel and not broadcast to everyone that we have heat??

Bug Out Bag on a Budget

Survival preparation can be an expensive endeavour, especially if your budget is already tight from bills and other every day expenses. It simply might not be possible to afford many of the expensive items needed. But you should not let this discourage you from creating your own bug out bag; there are alternatives that can save you money while building an effective bag for your survival. Build the Perfect Bug Out Bag: Your 72-Hour Disaster Survival Kit

Bags

To buy a hiking bag at a camping supply store can range between 60 to a few hundred dollars, for many this is where their plan of building a bug out bag ends. While these bags are excellent their price is simply out of reach if you're on a tight budget. Fortunately there are alternatives that can save you a lot of money while still getting a top quality bag. Remember you don't need something fancy, you want rugged and reliable. Check with military surplus stores, depending on where you live there should be at least one or two within a decent distance from where you live. If you don't mind the bag being a little used you can pick up a rucksack or another suitable bag for as little as 20 bucks (This is exactly what I paid for mine at a military surplus store where I used to live, including tax)

Supplies

Items such as a magnesium fire starter, water proof matches, emergency rain ponchos, and glow sticks can be found at stores such as Wall-Mart for very cheap. While I'm not a fan of the store they offer most of these items for fewer than 10 dollars. Rain ponchos and emergency blankets for example can cost as little as 1.20 (Depending on where you live), they also take no room in your bag so you can store lots of them. For matches you can buy packages' of 4 for around 2 dollars, and magnesium fire starters for as little as 5.

Food

Buying rations can be expensive; sticking with canned food is a cheaper alternative. Canned soup for example can be as a little as under a dollar a can. Check with stores that sell food in bulk as this may save additional money when purchasing larger cans. Remember to watch the salt content; you want to avoid food with high amounts of salt as this can dehydrated you.

Spare Clothes

One should always have a couple changes of warm clothing (Depending on season and your location). To save money on spare clothing there are a couple options. One is to check with stores that sell discount clothing such as Winner's or an equivalent, I've seen winter jackets for example as low as 20 dollars (Canadian). Another option if your budget is really tight is to check second hand stores such as Goodwill which sell used clothing. Remember to always check over anything you buy that's used to ensure it's not to worn out and damaged. Generally these types of stores will allow you to purchase a large amount of clothing for very cheap. I was able to find a whole garbage bag full of useful clothing such as military surplus, jackets, toques, gloves, and even a sleeping bag that is rated to minus 40 Celsius for about 25 dollars, all of it was in like new condition, and the sleeping bag still had the original store tag on it.

Other Places To Look

The key for anyone looking to do anything on a budget is to think outside the box and look in areas that most would overlook. Other places to look for supplies for your bug out bag while keeping the cost down are the following

-Garage Sales

-Flea Markets

-Liquidation Stores

-Dollar Stores

-Craig's List (Be careful with online shopping, there are many scam artists out there)

-Going out of business sales

-Classifieds

These are just a few ideas to get you started. To find more useful post apocalypse survival information and tips check out my website The Razors Edge a post apocalypse survival guide.
