Looking for a way to save some money on preps?

    Well, that was a cool field trip! I’m hitting a thrift store tomorrow that is going to have a 50% off sale, so I’ll be watching for anything prepping/gardening related. I like to hit those stores for classic prep/self sufficiency books. Maybe I’ll take my video camera and film my little field trip. LOL.

    On another note: I’m looking forward to seeing your garden this year. We can all encourage and learn from each other in this. Have you got any seeds yet?

      Take the video cam!!! It would warm my heart to know I wasn’t the only weirdo with a flip cam in the thrift store! :-) I’ll have to stay tuned.

      I do have some seeds. Snagged some heirlooms that my buddy saved from his own garden last year, so I’m anxious to try them out!

      Won’t be long now!

    This is why I check these kinds of stores up here in Canada as well. I’ve always found marvelous deals. Recently, I got a wonderful juicer for 8.99…what a deal!! As well as window screens that I’ll be using to do my sun-dried tomatoes this summer :) How can you lose? They can be a treasure trove and save you tons of $$$$$$. Love your segment and I hope it encourages others to follow suit.

      Appreciate the kind words Paula! I agree they are a total treasure trove. Unless you have absolutely no creativity or are just totally lazy, almost everybody can find a few things that could easily be repurposed for another life!

      Great snag on the juicer. I was really hoping that I might find some kind of wheat grinder/grain mill, but no luck that trip…maybe next time!
