What’s on your last minute list?

Annie 4, What is the average shelf life of bleach?

Gasoline, propane, cash, milk, meat, and fruit.

Milk  Milk   Milk

I see a lot of folks listing what some might call luxury items. We are, as i'm sure just about everyone is, prepping on a budget. So i spend a lot of time on the net doing price comparisons.

Here in western WA bottled water is low, eggs, flour, some canned goods, (DH said it was the new computer system????).  We have an artesian well, the deep pump went this weekend, pulled the pump and the water goes all the way up the casing and overflows.  At lease we have water.  Albertsons has a 20/10 sale.  All those items are gone the first day of the sale but you can get a rain check.  That never happened before.  I really panic when I see empty shelves at a major grocery store.  It seems that the minute stuff goes on sale like that it is gone.  Two days ago at Walmart all the alcohol and peroxide was gone.  As well as all the large hand sanitizers.  Toilet paper, paper towels...flour and sugar was just the expensive stuff.  I figured the sugar gone because of preserve time but i really wonder.  I can go weeks and weeks without buying anything but still I panic when I go for milk and there is limited supply of the other stuff.

My last shopping will be to get my electronics  , ipod cd disks  radios  more flaslight ,  batteries with solar chargers .  I hope that by September I will of finished my food shopping.   More solar lights ,   candles. 

More Cat litter, chocolate, potato chips, fruit, soda, printer paper and spare gasoline.

My last minute list consists of all things that are NOT a necessity, just in case I can't safely get out to pick them up, they are all items we can do without. Fresh milk, fresh fruit, fresh veggies, extra soda, top off the gas tanks. If I can't get out to get them we have plenty of canned stuff. As far as the gas, I have been trying to not let my gas tank get below 1/2 tank, don't plan on going anywhere when things start to happen, but would feel better with a full tank of gas.

Great idea with the coffee cans.  My grandbabies would love that one.  I will also check the ball to make ice cream.

The items in my last minute purchase list are: Lots of fresh vegetables and fruit, mainly the ones that last the longest such as oranges, grapefruit, fresh apples, fresh limes or lemons, fresh potatoes, yams or sweet potatoes. 

Since I've stocked up on canned goods and nonperishables, if TSHTF I would go to the store and really load my cart down on fresh veggies and fruit since most people panicking will be hitting the canned food aisles.  If there is anymore tpaper left I will grab some of that as well.  After gassing up the tank the liquor store will be the last stop.

You can make ice cream by taking 2 coffee cans one small and one larger but ingredients in small place in larger add ice to larger can ,small amount of salt and roll around(may have to drain water off and add more ice and salt).My mom use to let my kids do they had lots of fun.
