Cheaper Dog Food*

Preparing for tough times, more free resources

Many families are struggling with their grocery bills. That can be tough when you have a pet in the family, too. If you must buy your pet a "cheap" dog food, my vet says to buy the puppy version because it has more vitamins.

Is the cost of feeding fido straining your budget? Here are a few simple ways to save on dog food that are healthy both for your dog and your wallet.

Here are five more ways to save on dog food.

*Pet food prices have nearly doubled this year…we watched a documentary over the weekend on how most pet foods are filled with useless ingredients.  Your dog and cat are carnivores, not vegetarians.  We took much of our leftover Turkey and ground it into pet food [added to dry food for our dog] and plan to do the same with other leftover food items we’re not saving for ourselves!

15 Foods That Last Forever

Although there are many foods that will last for decades when stored properly (wheat, beans, pasta, etc.), there are some foods that last forever without canning, freezing or dehydrating. If you're new to food storage, these staples are a great way to start.

They're the longest lasting foods in the world and are often referred to as "forever foods." Technically, most of them are ingredients, but you can use them to make some great meals if you know how.

Next time you're at the store, be sure to grab some of these foods/ingredients even if you don't think you need them. Just seal them in an airtight bag, bottle, or container, keep them in a cool, dry location, and forget about them. When the time comes, they'll be ready...

Preparing for Tough Times

When it looked like my husband's company would be having to lay people off, we started taking steps to make sure we'd be financially ok if my husband lost his job.

Our local grocery store often gives $10 off a $50 gas card when you buy $50 in groceries. I stocked up on cheap pantry essentials as they went on sale over the next month and made sure to buy enough to also get the discounted gas card. I ended up with four gas cards and a completely stocked pantry.

My husband did end up getting laid off, but we did not have to spend much on food or gas while he searched for a new job, leaving enough money to easily cover our bills for those few months.

Here are some more tips that can help you prepare for a layoff.


9 Falsehoods Everyone Believes

--a very worthwhile read…I’ve always been mystified why so many Americans are unable to think for themselves:

How many of these can you smash until the pieces are particles of dust?

(1) The financial crisis of 2008 was caused by deregulation.

(2) “States’ rights” are code words for slavery and oppression.

(3) The Constitution’s “general welfare” clause means Congress may pass whatever legislation it thinks will help the country.

(4) The Great Depression was caused by capitalism run amok.

(5) The 19th-century “robber barons” were parasites who gouged consumers.

(6) Secession is unconstitutional.

(7) Capitalism hurts the poor.

(8) Racial disparities in income are caused by discrimination.

Remember:  You can’t buy life insurance after you’re dead!

When you think about packing up items to help you survive a natural or human-made disaster, you often think of backpacks. And there is good reason.

Backpacks are sturdy, lightweight, and with multiple pouches and pockets, they allow you to stow a large number of essentials. They come in expandable widths and sizes to fit even your smallest family members. And the best part is that your hands remain free with a backpack.
