    Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 231, "Tips For Saving Money"
    Please share this episode with friends, family, and on social media.

    In this episode we discuss: Money Saving Ideas

    Dump cable or satellite TV

    • Use a smart TV like a Roku Tv and a streaming service.
    • Prices vary greatly, so do your research.
    • Antenna TV is an option as well, and is necessary for local events and weather coverage.

    Eliminate that daily $5 cup of coffee
    Saves money & tastes better

    Buying in bulk
    At wholesale clubs and by sharing with family

    Shopping at Dollar Stores
    Name brands are the same
    Store brands have significantly lower prices

    In the grocery store
    Using coupons
    BOGO deals
    Divide larger quantities for later use.

    Buy generic medications when possible
    Especially pain relievers and stomach medications

    Combine car trips
    Save gas by doing multiple errands in one trip.

    Do regular maintenance on vehicles
    Vehicles will last longer, and you'll get better fuel mileage

    Use cloths rather than paper towels
    "Bar mops" are bulk towels, usually a 12-14 inch square of white terry cloth save a lot of money compared to paper towels.

    Eat at/from home
    Eating out can get expensive
    Meal preps for the week are very popular

    Utilize Ebay, Craigs List, FB market Place and thrift stores
    Here are some good sites:

    • Shopgoodwill.com
    • REI.com
    • Lowergear.com -
    • Outdoorsgeek.com
    • All of these sites offer used gear.

    Do online price comparisons & shop locally
    You can see prices, compare, and call for availability.

    Online shopping

    • Compare prices, not all sites prices the same.
    • Compare exact models, features.
    • Read reviews.
    • Utilize free shipping.

    Utilize free cancellations for travel or subscription-based services
    Plans/needs can change-don't get stuck

    In this episode, we share with you how we spent our weekend. We tent camped in the Talladega National Forest, on the Pinhote Trail, and worked ham radio for the Yellowhammer Endurance Horse ride. We also practiced some of our prepping skills, particularly alternative cooking, alternative lighting, and certainly communications skills. Krista practiced waste management skills and explains that in detail. We learned a lot, especially things that will have us even more prepared.

    Episode #227, "Cooking Without Electricity." May 18, 2022
    Show notes

    Practical Prepping Podcast, Episode #227, "Cooking Without Electricity."

    In many natural disasters, we often lose electricity, occasionally for extended time. This creates a challenge in preparing food. We must have alternatives for preparing food.

    In this episode, we explore many options for cooking without electricity, and some creative ways to bake, fry, and slow cook.

    We must stress that USING A GRILL INSIDE IS DANGEROUS AND CAN KILL!

    A propane cook stove inside can be safely used for short periods in well ventilated areas.

    Here are some of the options we discuss for alternative cooking methods when the power is off.

    Butane stove, Rocket stove, alcohol stove, backpack stoves

    Grills may be used for more than grilling:
    Side burner Useage
    Using a crock pot insert for slow cookIng
    Baking
    Frying
    Roasting
    Smoking
    Turkey fryers are for more than frying turkeys
    Cooking On Open Fires
    Fireplace
    Camp fires
    With foil & Disposable pans
    Heating Water
    Turkey fryers
    Open fires
    Fireplaces
