James,
I read your book “How to Survive the End of the World as We Know It” and immediately began my prepping.
I was watching a program on television last night about “Extreme Couponing”. I think this might be a great topic for those of us who are prepping but have limited financial resources. The gist of the show was individuals took advantage of coupons, grocery store membership rewards and in-store sales all at the same time. One example on the show was a woman had over $1,000 worth of retail groceries and after coupons and other discounts offered by the store, she paid around $8 for those same groceries. Another gentleman paid around $250 for over $5,000 worth of groceries. The guy ended up donating close to 1,100 boxes of Total brand cereal to his church for families in need. These people save an average of over 90% of their retail grocery bill and their food storages are massive I will do some research and it may take some serious planning and dedication, but to acquire food storage at 10% of retail cost will be a great advantage. As long as you don’t mind I will pass this research along to you to disseminate as you see fit. Thanks for your time, – Tim S.
