Amy Dixon- why can’t you pay your amazon prime by check? That is the only way I pay mine. They send me a bill and I send a check for the amount by check in mail. You might want to check into that a bit further.
OldMtWoman- Glad you and DH are doing much better. It has been a damp, dreary few days here, but at least no snow. I am getting over my cold though. So energy is starting to come back a bit.
Rufus- Congratulations on new grandbaby. My youngest grandchild is now 17 years old. will be a while for the great grandchildren to start up.
Decided not to store food buckets in garage. They will be better off in house. I will figure out a way to get them stored. I am how ever fixing up my emergency toilet buckets with everything I will need for them stored inside each of 2 buckets. These will be for a quick emergency till we get things figured out for a better solution. I have a plastic tub full of washclothes for when and if the toilet paper runs out and using a med. trash can for a diaper pail for them. We have an attic full of paper products now. Lots of baby wipes and other toiletries that I know we will need in a SHTF situation. Need to get some kitty litter for the toilet buckets and small trash bags for them as well. Don’t have enough of trash bags so looking for the sales.
Also trying to get my first aid stuff more organized. Got some of it in a fishing box that worked out really well for the different size bandaids and such. But still got a lot of stuff to go through. Then need to finish going through all the meds. And get rid of anything that is to far out of date. Some things will go beyond the dates but not far past.
For anyone that does not know this. Asprin will go past the exp. date but if it smells like vinegar then you want to throw it out.
Amy Dixon- right now I am keeping my food storage in the house and where it is kept stays about 60 to 65 degrees. But if I put in garage it would be good for winter but summer would be a problem unless I air condition the garage. I have been playing around with the idea of putting a window air conditioner in shed and storing buckets in there. That is where I keep all my canning supplies and has worked out well so far. If I do that though, I want to set it up for solar as there is no electric running to the shed.
