For those of you that have already received it, this is your reminder. For those of you who haven't decided yet, here is why it would be good to come check it out:
2 weeks ago, my daughter in Provo bought $100 worth of household goods, toiletries and food for $2.50!
Last week she lead me by the hand and she and I bought (4) $10 items for $ .99 ea! And some 'Always" pads that retail for about $5.00 for $ .50! And I have coupons for 2 months worth of FREE contacts for myself.
I thought it would take too much of my time to cut coupons out, ect. This is what she does WEEKLY:
She spends an hour making out her shopping list & cutting coupons
And an hour going to her 3 stores that are near each other, picking the items up.
This is an excellent way to build your supplies up at very little cost.
I thought it was un-ethical, too good to be true. My daughter spent an hour going over why it was honest and fair.
Manufacturers use their advertising dollars, and get a prime spot on the store shelf after a certain level of sales in a peticular period. It ends up being a win-win for everyone involved.
"But I don't get the newspaper." Michelle's ward has had a coupon class, and their Relief Society has a volentary program where those who get the paper bring their Sunday coupon booklet to R.S. and the couponer sisters can get free coupons. Also, Heather will be showing us how to get the best price on these coupons (like $ .75 a week).

JUNE PREPAREDNESS GOALS
*Ok, due to the almost constant rain, this is the month I will actually be planting the bulk of my garden. Which is ok. Despite my best intentions, I usually don't end up planting most things until the first of June and I always end up getting a bounteous harvest anyway.
*I also need to check my canning supplies and replenish whatever I need in the way of jars, lids, etc. If you have a pressure cooker it would be a great time to get the pressure gauge checked at your local extension office. I also like to stock up on quart sized and gallon sized freezer bags (must be high quality like Ziplock) so I will be ready for freezing extra produce. Sometimes I will get a giant bucket of beans from a neighbor and I'm just not in the canning groove, so I do a lot of freezing.
*Last month, to make up for the garden goal I did not accomplish, I ordered a giant bag of 9 grain cereal from www.honeyvillegrain.com and it is DELISH! Even with morning sickness I can eat it and my kids gobble it right up if it's got a little brown sugar cooked in. So I totally recommend this delicious cereal for your storage and it is so nutritious-check out the link to see all the good stuff it contains! 1/2 cup will feed four people in my family-try getting that kind of a value from your cold cereal!

MAY PREPAREDNESS GOALS
Is it May already? Yikes, I am behind...again! Here are my goals to accomplish this month. Join me if you would like!
*The young women in our ward are going to the dry pack cannery for a service project. All I have to do is sign up for what I want and write out the check. Love how easy that is!
*But this one is not so easy...gotta plant my garden this month, that is, if it ever stops snowing! (I am actually loving the snow because it gives me a great excuse to snuggle up with a book instead of doing yard work. I'm guilty!) I have some seeds left over from last year, and I'll run to the garden store to get the few that I need. Plus, I heard a great trick to keep the weeds down in your garden; spread used carpet, backing-side up, over the garden, then cut it as needed to plant, in rows, or circles for sqaush, etc. I have heard several people swear by this method, and if the carpet is ugly, no one has to know because the fuzzy side faces down! Brilliant! I am definately going to try it this year! (And I happen to know that carpet stores throw away TONS of old carpet every day...just ask them if you can go dumpster diving and I'm sure they will be happy to oblige you.) By the way, having a weed-free garden is more important to me than having a perfectly beautiful one, if you can't tell :)

APRIL PREPAREDNESS CHALLENGE
Each month I am focusing on two areas of preparedness to work on and I invite you to join me or leave your comments if you have some great ideas. My focus for this month is:
1)Stock up my freezer. It's looking a little lean after the long winter. I know March was frozen foods month, but better late than never right? I like to store frozen fruits and vegetables, freezer jams, breads and buns, butter, juice, ice cream, frozen pies, and whipped topping (SO important for preparedness :) and meats of all sorts in my freezer. So I'll be scouting around for some *cool* deals.
2)Time to inventory my 72 hour kits again. I try to change things out with the changing seasons, so in the event of an emergency, I can "grab n go" with the things that will be really beneficial during that specific season, i.e. suncreen and extra water in the summer, heavy jackets and extra socks in the winter. I'll do another posting later on good things to include in your 72 hour kit and other ideas to help you get it put together. One of our group members happens to have a great deal of knowledge in this area so I will consult her and get some of her ideas.
