$10 Preps


In April and May I focused a lot of attention and all of my extra dollars on establishing a prepper pantry.  Not only did I need to acquire food, but also some equipment and supplies.  In looking back at my progress those two months I'm pretty impressed with how much I was able to accomplish in a short time with a small budget.

 

I got all of this for just under $10


Ten for $10

In June I was able to put those extra dollars I earned working overtime toward food and some additional vacuum sealing bags.  Now in July, and moving forward, I will continue to build my prepper pantry, but on a much tighter budget.  I was thinking of doing so with some $10 a week preps by purchasing items on sale or at stores where I find things at a bargain basement price.

 

Dollar Tree $10 prep haul

These were $4.99 each

You can acquire quite a bit for just $10 if you get creative.  I will watch the sales ads and check the grocery outlet store from time to time as well as our neighborhood Cash & Carry to see what all I can come up with.  As I do I'll be sure to share with you some of my preps if this continues to be of interest to you and you find it helpful.  Let me know in the comments if you want me to continue posting about this.

Peanut butter on sale

It will be a fun challenge for me to see how much I can manage with just $10 a week or just a random extra ten bucks.  Are any of you stocking up or prepping a little bit?

  1. I agree. People will be amazed at just how far $10 can stretch. I've been stockpiling again, since we reopened. I'm going all in, especially at the drugstores.

  2. I'd love some idea of how much you're planning to stock. And since you're only stocking for two is your older daughter doing her own stockpile since you wont have anything for her??

    1. I'll be going over the amounts in a future post. My oldest is doing her own prepping as she has her own home now. I got her started and she is taking it from there.

  7. I enjoy the prepping posts too and yep, I'm stocking up but then I've always kind of stocked up since I live in the country so far from a big grocery store. It's just wise to have extra on shelves due to weather besides all the stuff going on now.
