OMG PEOPLE I GOT PAID. Phew took long enough with no sorry at the end (expected that).

Anyways need to build up esp now some great deals on in shops + meant to be snow , we will see.

Arnieh I have same problem small house little storage so got creative lol could say. Done a major clean out and have stuff for sale on ebay and gumtree to raise some funds. Looked at cupboards and seen how space was be used, any cluttered ones tided to give more space, thinking of adding shelves on walls and under stairs. Also have a shed (small), summer plan to gut and add shelves for more space. Always find space in funny places.

So my main aim to food stock and get in more wood coal heating over next 3 days. Any recommeneds on shopping for things do tell. I normally go to asda for food and capper for coal.

Tomorrow weather premitting look at pollytunnel think of setting it up and bring in couple days of potatoes from field. Still have a night shift to do as I write this zzzzzz

Any other preps I need to look at plz do tell ALWAYS OPEN TO IDEAS AND INFO how I learn

I'm glad you got paid! Make sure you make the best of the supermarket offers, and get basics, rather than the frills.

Enjoy

It was about time, what was it 5 weeks without pay , let's hope they keep paying regularly

Yea about that wayyy to long, so have to keep a good bit just incase I miss next one on 18th. Either way shelves need restocked and also have to keep in mind the snow warning. No frill buying, lasted 5 weeks on bare basics... Which is good shows I can do without somethings. Guess there is some postives from bad things.

Is there an online coupon site? A good one, not like tescos offers buy one get one free, when one is double the price before the 'offer'

[poppypiesdad]

Not really good ones , you mainly have to trawl through junk and tell them your life story to get 5p off a tin , unless anyone knows any different

Probably be better off going to lidl and aldi .

Haha life story, everywere wants that nowadays lol
have a lidl been long time since been there must take a look, good for sweets all I remember

[poppypiesdad]

To be honest m8 there's either tescos or lidls near us , for £50 you get a trolley of shopping from lidls , from tescos 3 carrier bags , we have been shopping there for 3 years at least , its amazing , when we started shopping there you could get parked easily , and you would be lucky if there were 5 folk in shopping and you usually had to shout for a member of staff to serve you , now you can maybe get a space and thres 2 checkouts open all the time, times and peoples attitude are changing

Yea our lidi pretty quiet I thought was of quality or just because of different brands etc. I just use asda cuz I know it. Will have to check it out thou, if want to store more than I need I would like it to be cheap.

Yea I can say ive changed and become more responsible, we all have to because the way the world is nowadays it would b foolish not to. Maybe the world always been in the crapper and ive just opened my eyes haha

If you go to www.moneysavingexpert.com, then to the forum, scroll down (its a bleeping big forum - right at this moment, 11pm on Saturday night, there are just over 8,000 people on there) anyway, scroll down, and find the forum board thats about Food Shopping and Groceries. Since I was on there regularly, a sub-board has appeared, Gone Off, about food thats past its best before date. There'll be a huge amount of information on there.

I only started prepping a year ago and only have a basic plan
1.BOB i have a 72h bug out bag
2.BUG out location i have found several and i am currently positioning caches in location
3.EDC i have made several EDCs that i can distribute among other like minded friends in my area
4.Bug out vehicle being 115 the most i have access to is a bike or a buss but i have a canoe so my initial plan is too gain access to my bug out location via the water like mindwiseman
5.food and water my locations are being stocked with emergency rations but each location has access to running water/fresh water that can be purified in a number of ways to make it safe to drink also there is alot of game around the areas so lots of hunting opportunities.
I am currently training with my sling bow as this would be my primary hunting weapon if this proves ineffective i could resort to either improvising from the resources around me or by modifying my target cross bow.I have also built up a collection of equipment that i would use in a bug out situation.[youtube][/youtube]
