But I I believe it's important to be prepared for a possible emergency. During the week, while I'm out shopping for what we need for the house I'm always keeping my eyes peeled for bargains on items that I can add to the emergency stash without edging into the weekly budget too much. The soap for example...3 bars for a dollar. The dog food...2 cans for 89 cents. A box of Band-aids and onion salt...each a dollar. (Forgot to put those on the list...oops.) Every little bit helps...and makes me feel all that more accomplished and prepared.
Oh...and I thought of a few things to add to my lists that I somehow forgot to include last week! Those items are: foil, tarp(s), towels/rags, paper plates and TOILET PAPER. How could I forget TP? That would NOT have been pretty.
If you weren't here last week, and would like copies of detailed supply lists, click on the "Printables" button on the top navigation bar. There you'll find links for free, helpful lists you can use to check off items as you acquire them. Print them out...then be sure and add these items! Especially toilet paper for crying out loud!

Thanks!
LOL - on the toilet paper - I have a preparedness post coming up in a couple of days talking about that. :o)
Yes, every little bit helps - and adds up at the end of the day. :o)
My girls are convinced I'm a tp fanatic and not quite normal when it comes to hording it in closets and such. But with four girls in the house, I keep thinking one can't have enough. Plus, I hear it's a good bartering item in the event of... whatever! Who wants to be without it?
Thanks for linking up, Michelle!
