This topic will be about getting the most for your money. I've found many a good deal at thrift stores,dollar stores and the clearance aisle at grocery stores,walmart and walgreens. I'll start off with some of the items I've found at thrift stores: a couple of tents, brand new qt size bottles with caps(the kind you would use for making your own beer)that was a nice deal, I got 8 for .75cents each, gardening items including seeds,clear plastic containers with snap lids for storing misc items. The dollar stores, I've gotten quite a few medical and health items,boxed and bagged pastas and rices. Walmart and Walgreens, both usually have clearance aisles and I've found food items greatly reduced(I'll buy for current needs and get extra for storage), end of season/holiday clearance is also a great way to get extras.

Can't wait for spring/summer to scrounge around garage sales!!  May do another topic in a little while yet. Mrs. Prepper
