This guy is only $2.00 per bucket (lid included) and he offers free delivery. I’ve seen him deliver to a whole Ward/Stake as well.

It’s great have them brought to me, which is better than running all over town.

That looks like some fun, I really need to get one but man 1000 bucks is a lot. Any way to do it cheaper?

I love the simply living smart site! I run their videos on my computer while I’m surfing or getting other things done online and learn so much.

Comment on Preparations: Your Health by Maryanne

I think that your idea about being a little more active is great, but I also think that watching what you eat is just as important. Maybe you should start tracking what you eat in a food journal, and if possible write down the calories. This way you can get an idea of what you are putting in your body on a daily basis, it might be a lot more than you think. Then once you see where your struggles are, i.e. snacking or large portions, you can work on finding healthier options. Just a suggestion

Thanks. I need to put some photos up of our garden, although it’s honestly rather embarassing when compared to what you’re doing. That’s why I put the link in If I had read some of the stuff you had done before we started ours, maybe it would be doing better right now.

Our major first step in being less reliant on the grocery store has been making our own bread. It’s amazing (after LOTS of experimentation) how great it tastes. Plus we save a ton of money. I think each loaf we make costs about $1.50. But the same quality/consistency of bread that we used to get at the store now costs $4.00. We’re saving $10/month in bread costs alone! I think the best benefit is that it helps us rotate through our “long-term” food storage, which seem to be the hardest items for everyone to use.

Thanks again for your encouragement and keep up the great experience your blog has been for me, I rely on it!!

I just saw your link to my blahg. I wish I could say it was interesting. It’s just my way to trying to help others not make the same mistakes I’m making on my first attempt at growing veggies. I see you’re big into preparing for the eventual natural disasters. We’re on a major fault…er time-bomb in Seattle, so I find myself woefully underprepared. Sure I’ve got water for the four of us for days, and food galor in the pantry, but I could do better.

Mostly I started my garden for a stress reliever, and maybe get some healthy veggies out of the deal. But my kids love it and with the prices of things escallating, I can’t help but think I’ve made a smart choice. Even kitchen gardens like mine can save a family thousands of dollars over a year.

I think my brother would like to live off the grid, I don’t think I could, but being more self sufficient is something I’m all for!

Great site, it’s always good to be prepared, and you’re right, so few are.

Good post, gotta love Maceys. Some people love clothing stores or theme parks but I love any store with survival supplies.

I like your blog btw, welcome to the world of survival related blogging. Shoot me an email if you can, lets chat.
