Greetings! Got some fabulous solar lights from QVC shopping channel. They are a set of six lanterns with 6 shephards hooks and 2 table stands that hold 3 lights each. They hang. Come in stainless and clear glass. Very classy and just the thing for our purposes. www.qvc.com

I heard sugar might go up in price soon because of political reasons.
I will buy ten bags of sugar tommorow.
Thank you for the idea of solar lights . I am so afraid of fires from candles
really bless you

I'll put solar lights on next week's list for sure. This week's budget
was spent on a $$$ trip to the emergency vet clinic on Sunday and
follow up work at my regular vets'. The sick kitty is fine now but my
plan to finish my canned food shopping was trashed. With very little to
spend I bought small snack-size resealable plastic bags to store
staples like rice, potato flakes and pancake mix. Instead of shelving
cans I'll be scooping and sealing single serve portions. It's better to
accomplish a little something than nothing at all.
I buy water every time I go to the store now and was surprised to find only three 1-gallon jugs. The bottled water multipacks were all gone except for a few that were overpriced trendy brand names. Interesting. |

Today bought 6 jars of wheat germ, 6 boxes of cereal, 7,five gal gas cans. 3 tubes of dental cream. Just in case any temporary crowns come off. my dentist said he stuff the come in the dental kit is to thick to put the crown back in place properly. He said you can use just plain vaseline to hold it back in place. I also bought another 7 storage boxes and 7 large scrapebooks to organize my photos if we are confined for any a time.

I am making short daily menus to figure out if I can for sure live for three months off my preps. That way, I can find out where the holes are and prep accordingly.
Okay, so I got my meal plans done. I have enough food to last me for 56 days and then I'd be living on condiments. So I have another month's worth of stuff to buy, and definitely more canned veggies/fruits because I ran out of them quickly in my virtual scenario.
I ordered a can of Mountain House and a sanitation kit with a portable box toilet from an emergency preparedness company. I can cross an emergency toilet off my list now. ;)

canned 10 more lbs of butter
bought:
4 lg cans stew
4 lg cans chicken and dumplings
4 cans chicken breast
4 cans refried beans
beef and chicken soup base (ethnic section)
8 cans condensed milk
Close out on Safflower oil - 4 lg bottles less than 1/2 price!
4 cans shrimp
4 cans pie fillings
5 boxes rice a roni
I estimate I'm about 70% ready on food for 1 year. Everything else is finished (OTC"s, cooking, light, water, electric etc).
I'm almost at the point that everything left will have to be last min. due to short shelf life (my definition less than 1 1/2 year.).

What about using a plant pot w/ some styrafoam (like when you make artificail flower arrangements) and putting the steak in the pot. Looks nice -- like a lamp. You can alway put some stones in the bottom, if you think it's going to be 'top heavy'. -k

I bought my oldest son some underwear the next sizes up (the other two can inherit all the "older" ones). I had my dental check up this week (my teeth have always needed a lot of work), so I purchased a dental emergency kit. It contains among others temporary filling paste, crown glue, dental mirror, dental spatula, clove oil and sterile syringe and needle for anaestetic.

I know this is almost a week old, but I was busy this week and couldn't really post much. Last weekend we got a gun! Well, we don't actually have it yet, because of the waiting period, but we pick it up Tuesday. I also got collidal silver, Sambuccol, a bottle of skullcap, a solar shower thing you use for camping, and 4 bottles of water purification tablets. I also went to Costco and spent another $250 on various preps that don't need refrigeration. Today I got more cat litter and cat food. So I had a pretty productive week. I won't be able to say so much for next weeks "What have you done to prep today" s question, because the husband is ragging on me bigtime about money.

Hubby and I went to the store today and the only preps I bought were socks and undies for both of us to get us through the next year or two. I forgot how much that stuff costs. I just about fell over when the cashier gave me the total.

2 .2 ten lb bags of rice ( I buy 2 every week)
3. 15 cans of canned apple pie filing (new item for me)
4. 5 cans of milk ( New item)
5 6, 5 gallon bottles water ( I am obsessed with water )
6 2 cases apple juice
7 twenty packs of batteries for son CD player
8. ten bags of sugar
9. 2 coofee whitners (so I dont get tempted to touch my son milk stash)
I have tons of peanut butter and too much pudding and not enough cans of fruit and canned milk .
I now will focas on coffee, can fruit and canned milk and seeds
I am thinking of getting a green house too.

This morning I stored more pasta and rice, cookies and instant cereal. This afternoon i organized our runaway bags and took some emergency stuff to the storage shed I rent.ed I'm only keeping the basic stuff in there that would get us by for a while during any emergency in the event we couldn't make it home. Later we went out and bought 16-15gal. plastic drumbs that can be used for gasoline or water storage. this evening we went to Sam's club. Bought some last minute preps that consisted mostly of comfort foods candy cookies chips and ect.

Hi dustyboots, Welcome! there is alot of information here so help yourself. I think the info on canning butter is in the food thread in preps. Try there, if you still cant find it I'm sure someone here can help you with that. It is a little involved and I was just talking to someone about that very thing just earlier today.
Enjoy yourself. g'night :>}

Actually dustyboots, it was reposted by me under "store butter" in the priority preps room!! I just saw it there but there is some concern on whether this is a good idea to do or not so you might want to consider reading the entire thread before going ahead with this.
Be careful out there people!!! :>} fritz
You can also buy shelf-stable canned butter if having butter is extremely important to you. I don't know exactly where to find that info but I bet it's in priority preps as well. Happy hunting! :>}

Also -- today did another run to Target. Got next size underwear for kid (assuming he gets potty trained). Plus more first aid supplies. Kiddo fell out of tree this week and got scraped up. It's amazing how much first aid stuff you can end up using on one incident.
Ordered a solar battery charger, rechargeable batteries and also a solar lantern. Plus some kid stories about dragons. Tomorrow morning am going to a yard sale put on by a local nursery school.

Hubby got his bimonthly check. I've been shopping nonstop. Too much to list.
I did learn one little trick :-) I usually use BJs warehouse, but a Sam's Club just moved in and isn't doing all that well. At the local Walmart, they sometimes give out passes where you can go to Sam's Club once and pay a 10 % surcharge.
I went to Sam's looking for Tone's dried mushrooms I'd heard about, but they didn't have them. I started looking around and they had some AMAZING prices on a few things to try and draw people away from BJs and to convince people they needed Walmart AND Sam's. For those items a 10% surcharge is worth it. I'll be looking for those passes from now on!
I bought BIG bags of Instant potatoes while there. A cup of soup can be made with little more than 1 cup boiling water and 1/4 cup each dry milk and instant potatoes. I add salt, pepper, dried chives, dried parsley, and parmesan cheese to mine. Yummy and low fuel.
I also bought BIG bags of Kr... complete pancake mix that has dried eggs in it, to bake with. When I have time, I need to do some more of my mayo and pancake mix baking experiments.
I drove out to the health food store. They sell some good bulk dried goods that are worth the trip. When stocking up, I'm finding it's DEFINATELY worth traveling for!
I'm definately switching back to a more grains based vegetarian diet. It's easier to store. I'm no longer keeping my freezer stocked with more than 2 weeks worth of food. When I first started stocking up, it was more of what we had already been eating. That is doing a MAJOR change. Now I'm eating what stores well :-)
And my stomach is doing better than it has in over 2 years :-) I'm up to 101 pounds :-) I'm taking advantage of this to try and build myself back up, so really doing a lot of reading on nutrition and making sure I'm getting enough complemented proteins and such, while I'm able to tolerate the fiber.
I've also stocked a lot of white flour and white rice and such, in case I go sour again and have to just focus on consuming as many calories as I can without being doubled over all day. Also hubby and son will eat mostly that stuff.
Asked hubby about shelves again. He said he heard me the second time :-)

Today I'm doing another Costco run. I want to check out canned meat...chicken, ham. I have never bought before so want to try and see if my family likes it, then stock up on those.
Order a few things off line this week. Another Aqua Tank (150 gallon), dried eggs, which the company says is on back order, and 2 - 25# bags of Rice.
Also bought the items to make a solar oven....now I'm just waiting for the sun to come back out and will be testing to see how well it works.
 I'm having my son help me with this, get him involved with the preps.

If you have a H.E.B grocery store, they have Knorr Beef/Chicken/Tomato Bouillon 2/3.00 and each jar you get a free 2lb bag of long grain rice with each purchase. I needed to stock up on Bouillon so, got 4 jars and 8 more lbs rice. Great price on boullon, free rice even better. Also case of water is 2.99 (24ct) Also, Brookshire Bros grocery store has Hy-Top brand mustard and mayo for .88 and sugar .88. And 24 ct toilet paper is 3.99.
So there is my preps this week. Getting ready to go ebay shopping for my solar battery charger.
Keep prepping folks and have a good one!

Went to Goodwill:
Bought some more larger size clothes for little guy
Bought 2 more books on dinosaurs, a christmas book, a kids' book on germs, a Dinosaur video, and a Winnie the Pooh video.
Guess there's a theme to the day.

Look for easter candy that can be chopped up and used in baking. I bought a ton of peanutbutter filled chocoloate from Walmart 33 cents/11 ounces after valentines day. It makes yummy cookies!

Katdoe67 - I found the mushrooms at Sam's on the very bottom shelf below the spices. I looked and looked, but it was my husband that pointed them out. I thinkt that it was the bland color that I missed or something. They are in a large, square, plastic jug.

Hi mississippi mama --
I ordered my solar stuff from Sundance Solar. Here's the link:
I just googled for solar stuff and found them. Haven't received stuff yet. I ordered the solar battery charger, 8 AAAs, 8 AAs, 4 Cs, and 4 Ds. I would have ordered more batteries, but couldn't afford it. Also ordered that solar powered lantern which looked pretty cool. We already have a wind-up/solar radio which we like. Good luck. Let me know what you find.

I saw those dried mushrooms at Sams too. It was also near the bottom below the spices.
I went there on Friday picked up 2 25# bags of rice, around $6.00 each, 6 6lb bags of pasta, only $3 each, 36 count ramen noodles, cornstarch, 2 4lb boxes of salt, and I can't remember what else.
Went to Meijer and picked up 10 gallons of water, flour, sugar, pepper, the green onions to keep growing in the house (tip from a different poster)
I noticed alot of the staple goods are running low at Meijer.

Hi all! I am new at this "prepping", but I got started 2 weeks ago.
This week, I bought 48 rolls of Toilet Paper, 48 Cans of tuna, and 48 cans of soup from buybythecase.net. I also bought a case of fruit, a case of green beans, some bottled water, ramen noodles, and bleach. Oh, I am also filling up 2 liter pop bottles with water, just in case. Last week, I bought 3 jars of peanut butter, 2 cases of water, 6 jugs of water, ramen noodles, fruit snacks, granola bars, cereal bars, beans (small 1lb bag), hand sanitizer, clorox wipes, hand soap, baby wipes, lots of crackers....I think that's about it so far. As I said, I am new to this, and I am prepping for 8 people, so I am doing the best I can. Afraid it's going to take awhile, but I plan to spend $120 every 2 weeks if I can afford it. Hope I can get it done.
