Frugal Survival Tip Of The Day

I already have one of these pressure handwashers from lehman's, but if you are on a budget they can be expensive. So if you are looking for a frugal way to be able to do small loads of laundry during a power outage you can take a large wide mouth bottle and put small things in it , like socks and underwear, fill it up 3/4 of the way with water , add about a teaspoon of soap and shake it up !! The agitation of your shaking it will get the items clean and then after a few minutes you empty and rinse the items. Hang them out to dry!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

We Need More Tools

I had to take my sewing machine apart to change the belt and I was on the hunt for a darn screw driver. It dawned on me right then , that we do not have hardly any tools. How are we going to be more self-sufficient and prepared of we do not have any tools?? What would happen if something needed fixed? How would we cut anything if we had no saw?? I just really think that this needs to be another important thing for me to be on the lookout for. Hope I can find them at thrift stores and yard sales.

It Is Getting Colder!

The past week it has been getting colder and colder and I have come to realize that we do not have enough blankets! So that is the next thing on my stockpile list ~~ BLANKETS!!!
I do not care what kind they are or what they look like - We just need a bunch of them to keep warm. What would we do if the power went off and it was deep winter and we did not have but a few blankets. With extra blankets we can all bundle up, use them to cover doorways so we can at least heat one room, use them to cover windows if we have to, and JUST BE WARM!!!

So now I am on the lookout for blankets! Does anyone know of any good sales??
