Just starting

Post by Kat1 »

I'm new to this but have just started. I have some prepping stuff put by but will need to add to it considerably. Difficult as I have a (very) limited budget and, due to disability (and I don't drive) bugging out is not an option. I'd be very grateful for any advice anyone has to offer :)

My family is new to prepping as well, we also have disabled family members and a very tight budget, we tend to buy one or two items per month equipment wise be it a fire steel and some cotton wool and food wise we get the odd extra bit here and there but it is important to buy what you will be happy to eat as you need to rotate your supplies.

As or water, that's tough but filling up empty bottles with tap is a good place to start

Welcome to the forum.

Remember that if you CAN spare £15, then that equates to 100 tins of potatoes at tesco, which makes for some food in case you are in need.

It neednt be too expensive.
