I will again try to post some ideas, after Zoes compliment of me. I am more red of the neck than usual.
Northern tool.com ammo cans, masks, solar lights, heaters, water cans. Harbor freight tools, more of the same. Sav a lot stores, cheap canned foods. Dollar stores, can goods, toilet paper, paper towels, pinto beans, plastic tubs, clothespins, lines, towels. A few bucks and in and out in five minutes at dollar store. LOOK up Lehmans hardware, non electric Amish supply. Walmart, my last resort, but can find plenty stuff there. Sit down, look at your storage space, make notes, review them, write em again. Make list of what you NEED, then want, fill the need first. Shop in big cities, city folk don't mind your business. I live in small town, we nosy as HELL. We look in everyones buggies. Learn to never, need for what you want. Think about this statement. I learned it, I did not invent it. |

I really wish I had a few of those stores up here..I live in goomerville and we have a dollar store, Canadian Tire, Zellers and only 2 grocey stores..we have alot of small independent shops, but they are so expensive...and reall y don,t carry much in the way of prep items.. we also have a used clothing shop... So I wait until sales go on and then buy like a mad women, and once in awhile we take a 2 hour drive(one way) to go to a bigger city to shop. And yard sales..gotta love those in sping summer |

We're in an east coast city. Here are some thoughts from here: In addition to what's been mentioned above -- thrift stores (Salvation Army, Goodwill, Disabled American Vets) -- these are especially prevalent near military bases. You can get kids' clothes, blankets and other linens. Benefit of being in the city -- as opposed to where Muskrat is -- that you can do a lot of anonymous shopping. Shop the sales at grocery stores. In our area, Shoppers Food Warehouse is cheaper than Giant or Safeway. Dollar stores are plentiful. Lowes Hardware is good for a variety of things. Target, Walmart, etc.

I have said many times, city folk don't care what you buying, they don't care as long as you not bugging them.

country folks don't care what you buy, but they'll remember what you buy, thats the problem.

I can drive 15 minutes one way and shop in a medium-sized city or I can drive 15 minutes the other way and shop in a small town. While the small town is a lot nicer to deal with I have been going the city route every time so as to remain as anonymous as possible.

Yeh, I know about being quiet, I got the drug agents called on me. I bought too many coffee filters, and some coleman fuel, that did it.
Thank God I knew them, and they know I am just nuts. Be careful about buying coffee filters, peroxide, white gas, lye, and gas treatment. Don't get them in large quantities or at the same place twice. |

Speaking of Camp stoves... I wonder how we are going to keep our food secret when our "kitchen smells" waft through the neighborhood. I think someone suggested that the cans of soup and ready made stuff would eliminate that issue. Has anyone given thought to this???? |

Sophia, I plan on doing any major cooking late at night. If you have a fireplace cook your food there. The height of the chimmney will help with the smell. If you get a very good thermos. You can let the food cook all night with just adding boiling water to the thermos. In the morning you will have a nice hot breakfast. I will dig out my thermos recipe book and post a few items for everyone to try out.
