Free prepping help from the grocery store.
Sometimes prepping can be less cash if you outthink the groceries. I was buying a load of canned goods (yes everyone stores some) to add to my storage inventory; but I, like everyone else don't have unlisted shelving. So I have to stack cases of canned goods, but I don't want to be buried under a load of loose cans!
This is a free option to stabilize stacked cases of cans:
The case bottoms are scrap to the grocéry store, and by consolidating a few cans; you can find enough emptie bottoms to cover the cases being purchased! Adding a top cover to each case, increases the stability to allow safe stacking. A spare corner can be used to store a significant quantity of extra cans using this method!
Another thing to consider:
Turning the can labels out before stacking, will allow a quick sight inventory. In a floorspace where 3 cases will sit next to one another, about 600 cans can be safely stored, for about $300. If they are stacked two cases deep, a written inventory is needed; and I would leave the list in place on the front of the stack!
Prepping does Not have to be expensive, if you are careful. This is obviously not the only prep needed, but it is an easy step; that will increase survival success probability!
So carefully continue to store what you can afford to purchase, while it is still available; and remember to bless someone less fortunate!
It's the little things combined that make a difference Toby.
Yes, it's the totality that makes a good prep! I like this one because it's free, and that leaves more cash for buying food.
👍🤠😁💙
Yep, wherever one can save, one should. Adds more ability elsewhere.
Yes, smart prepping gives more options after the SHTF occurs. The crash is imminent, and I'm hoping to add what I can to my preps.
Stupid policies are stacking to a critical level, and yes, I pray I'm wrong!

I hear you man, it's here too. The crash will come and those who choose not to see its imminent arrival will not go so well.
I don't see any other option now. Prepping will lessen the damage, but it's coming!
On the 13th, I'll be going to the largest gun show in the world (11 acres of guns and prepping supplies under one roof); to pick up a few things....
On the plus side, I've almost got the Gator running. That will help!

Didn't like my comment so downvoted it? No worries, looking back on the comment, it's far from my best ever.
Sorry, NOT what I intended! I fixed it.
Big fingers, small keys....
👍😳😞🤠
It's ok, that happens. I don't take offense. I get enough downvotes to know they don't mean much at all, and I knew yours was a mistake. I was just letting you know. Others may not be as nonchalant about it should it happen.
I wish the buttons were further apart! But I'm going to be more careful.
Thanks for pointing it out!
👍🤠💗🙏📖💙😳🤕
Haha, yeah I've heard that before. You're using a phone? I hate doing Hive stuff on my phone and use my laptop 90% of the time for that reason.
Yes, I'm on a phone right now. I run a Linex OS, and I'm upgrading it to work on hive and steemit.
👎😭🤮😳🤕😞🥵
Some pretty decent tips. I don't really think about it that much, but then again, I don't collect many canned foods. I should really expand on that. Kind of slowing down with the prepping lately.
Get what you can when you find a good price! Soon it will move to buy if you find shelf stock, but we're not there yet. But keep prepping, while that is possible!
Buy a little extra each time you shop.
