What If Neighbors Come Begging for Food After SHTF
It’s no secret Bidenflation is robbing citizens and this
holiday meal will drive that message home for many [if you get food stamps you
can probably ignore this]…this will be the most expensive holiday meal on
record!
If we are deep into some kind cataclysmic event and desperate
people arrive at your door, what do you do? Your hard work, money, and family
are all at play when people come a knockin! So, what is your gameplan?
The simple answer is to say, “NO!” and not let anyone into your
home. The truth is that things are a little more complicated than that. Also,
there might be some value in the people you bring on board. You are going to
need some help to get through tough times.
Just look at any natural disaster to see proof of that. In
this article, we are going to look at what you should do when neighbors keep
knocking. There are some things you should already have done if you are going
to deal with people at your front door...
What If Neighbors Come Begging for Food After SHTF?
--Think Chicken Little story w/ the sky falling…my
experience [selling emergency supplies] is most people only want life insurance
AFTER they’re dead!
We sincerely wish you and your family a
blessed holiday!

If you'd like to avoid
all of the tempting sales this weekend, here are some things you can do that
can help you free up some extra cash for your holiday budget or simply improve
your budget:
·
Put together a holiday budget: If
you still need to plan your holiday expenditures, spend some time figuring out
how much you have to spend and what you'll need to spend. Then figure out how
you might cover the difference.
·
Sell some stuff: With
so much shopping going on this week, why not post some things for sale on eBay
or other selling sites and earn some of what everyone else is spending?
·
Start a side gig: An
additional income stream can be a wise move right now, given the current
economic climate. Spend the long weekend finally getting that side gig started,
or search for a part-time job opportunity.
·
Do a mini pantry challenge: Clean
out and organize your pantry, fridge and freezer and plan meals you can make
with the ingredients and foods you have on hand. Avoid the grocery store for
the next few weeks and use the extra cash for the holidays.
·
Shop for new auto insurance: Insurance
companies might not offer Black Friday deals, but it doesn't mean you can't
score some discounts. (You can get quotes here.)
Even if you don't shop for new coverage, review your current coverage to ensure
you're getting all of the discounts that apply to you.

Things You Can Scavenge From Cars After The SHTF
Cars are everywhere. If you're anywhere near a city when the
SHTF, you'll come across thousands of them. And if the disaster is severe
enough, many of these vehicles will be abandoned. Why does this matter? Because
there are many survival items you can scavenge from abandoned vehicles.
Some people will object to this article, saying it's wrong to
take what isn't yours. Normally I'd agree, but I believe morality varies
depending on the circumstances. If you're in a situation where an apparently
abandoned vehicle has items in it that you need to survive, then I would argue
that you're morally obligated to take them. If not for yourself, then for your
family.
Besides, you could find yourself in a scenario where your own
car breaks down or is totaled, in which case you might want to make use of its
parts. In case either of these things ever happens to you, here are 13 things
you can scavenge from vehicles...

DIY Cooking Spray
Since
I cook and bake a lot, I was buying cooking spray frequently. Finally, I
decided to make my own. I mix one cup of shortening, one cup of flour, and two
tablespoons of vegetable oil. I mix it up and keep it in an old butter tub in
the fridge. I use a crumpled-up paper towel to spread it on my pans.

Saving on Carpet Cleaning
I
clean carpets for a living. If you want to clean your carpets yourself, mix 1/2
cap of liquid laundry detergent to about a gallon of water in a bucket. Scrub
soiled areas with a stiff brush. Get the carpet pretty wet to make sure it gets
clean. Load a home machine with hot water only, no soap. You'll just be using
the machine to rinse. Dry by using a fan.
It's
cheap, and it will save you the cost of bringing in a professional.

disasters don't wait for a convenient time
And you shouldn't wait to prepare either. In some cases there is
little to no warning.
Prepare now to lessen the impact of disasters and emergencies
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.

Happy turkey day to you and your family!
From what I can tell of my neighbors suggests most are short sighted when it comes to being prepared...having an extra case of beer seems to be ample preparedness!
I'd be inclined to help my neighbors-it's how I was brought up...
A new twist on the proverbial 'Can I borrow a cup of sugar?'
