I had to get a new off-grid washing machine and I found this one online for a really great and low price. The Non-Electric Portable Compact Mini Washing Machine
is perfect! It will wash 5 pounds of clothing and wash them quick and with very little soap.
High-density polyethylene chamber
Wash up to 5lbs of clothing
5 minutes per wash
Capacity: 3 Gallon
Product dimension: 16 x 12 x 11in
Don't let the need for electricity or plumbed-in water pipes stop you from clean clothes.
In the space of just five minutes with nothing more than power from your arm, this hand-cranked unit washes a 5lb load in just a few minutes.
The high-density polyethylene chamber will let you store up to 5lbs of clothing. This can wash 15 pairs of socks, five t-shirts, three shirts, or a pair of jeans pre load. That is impressive performance from this compact washer.
The clever design creates a high pressure wash to lift stains and dirt from your clothes for a fast and efficient wash that uses far less water than even hand washing (and obviously no electricity).

Having as many ways to get clean water will be a life saver. You have to have clean water to drink.
To keep a food storage going you have to add to it more than you use it. I buy something each week , sometimes just a can , like , Mountain House #10 Can Beef Stroganoff with Noodles 
. Or a few cans of peanut butter. It really doesn't matter what it is that you buy - as long as your adding to the food storage!! When you need it - it will be there!!
I have been adding to mine weekly. Some weeks I add more than others. Depends on other bills and such. You don't want to go homeless or not pay your bills to have a food storage. That would be no good.

Planning on doing this. I want to have maybe 2 of them - one rain barrel at each front corner of my house. Hope. At least one of them for sure. Will help me with the garden and other stuff around the house.
If you don't live under a rock , then you have probably noticed how
expensive the groceries are getting. Things I usually buy are sky
rocketing. It is 2 times and sometimes 3 times more each week for my
grocery budget. That is just for the basics that I buy. Using my food
storage as a base , I still have a sky high bill.
These tips can help shrink your grocery bill. Every little bit helps.
Use a list and stick to it. I have gotten really good at planning out my
meals for the week and sticking to a list. This has saved a lot. Get an easy to use meal planner. That will help so much.
NEVER shop for groceries on an empty stomach. Shopping hungry makes for a lot of impulse buying. Which adds a lot to the bill.
Leave everyone home when you go to the grocery store. You will be able to focus more on finding bargains and using coupons etc.
When you see something on sale that your family uses a lot of , buy as
much as you can. Adds to your food storage and saves money in the long
run. You will have it on hand and not have to buy it when the price goes
back up to the higher price.
Buy store brand as often as possible. This has saved our family a lot.
Check the store ads each week and use your store savings card. You can
save a lot doing this. Also use coupons as much as possible. I don';t
rely on them because they are usually for items that are higher priced
even with the coupon, but sometimes I have coupons for free items that
save money for us.
