Halloween NOW

Halloween NOW

Halloween is HERE!

Drive slow tonight, keep your eyes open, IF you are in costume take your mask OFF while you drive, WATCH OUT for the kids….

Parents – go with your kids, everyone needs a light of some kind on them so drivers can see them, kids watch both ways for traffic. Kids do NOT eat any of the candy until your parents have checked it over – it is not safe like it used to be when I was a kid or even when my kids were little.

This is a good time to stock up on some things. Typically whatever does not sell at full price will be put on clearance to clean out that section of the store for something else.

GO later tonight or first thing in the morning to get candy on clearance!

Small packages of candy would go great in your 72 hour kits and in your food storage program. The candy besides providing calories would be a welcome boost for everyone’s moral during an emergency. The hard candies store well in your car too.

The snap lights that you bend and shake to activate are wonderful for safety any time of the year. We carry some in out bug out bags and in the car too.

The costume makeup would come in handy for school plays and such.

Much of the stuff goes on clearance for 50% to 75% off late that night or early the next day. This would also go for Thanksgiving and Christmas too. Good time to get cheap decorations for next year.

Survival Magazines and Preparedness Articles

What To Do With All Those Survival Magazines and Preparedness Articles

Do you have a massive amount of survival magazines that you want to keep just a few articles but not especially the whole magazine? Have you printed out a large amount of articles but don’t know what to do with them?

I love magazines but do not like to keep the whole magazine for years and years. So, I take out the articles I want and put them into notebooks with headings of what the article is about. When I have enough articles to have a notebook filled with just one heading then I mark the spine of the notebook with the heading. We have notebooks at Meals on Wheels for 10 cents, some are even brand new.

In the meantime I go through the article and highlight what is important and make notes, etc, in the margins. Then you can throw the rest of the magazine away and save some space.

If you want to, scan the items into the computer and put into files. Then put on flash drives so not to take up memory on your computer.

If there is one or two things in a catalog that I want to purchase or make. I will cut that item out and tape to a piece of paper along with the name, address, etc. so I can order or make when I have time to.

This helps keep the paper clutter in check.
