Budget Focused Preparation

I look for online freebies and add them to my bob all the time. It's very easy to do. I, also, use my dehydrator to make my own meals for my bob. It's healthier & cheaper.

I use coupons and match them with sales and double them when I can to get the most savings for my $$$. I also check Craigslist frequently for Barter and Free items, especially for the garden.

We grow and produce much of our own food. We set up barter groups in our area and can get lots of thing made we need in exchange for food and other services. I don't think anyone can ever have "everything" they need. I have seen miracles happen with those who stored what they could when a disaster struck. You have to have faith to store what you can and then leave the rest in the Lord's hands.
