Weekly Shopping Report
Aldi was our only stop this week. They still have not restocked wet cat food, in fact I’m not even sure I saw the individual cups. They did have a normal amount of toilet paper. The chocolate I like was back in stock after being gone last week, but there wasn’t much of it. Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): $1.39 (the tag was back); eggs: $2.15 (-); whole milk: $2.88; heavy cream: $5.39; OJ: $3.45; butter: $3.99; bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $3.59 (-); sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% lean ground beef: $4.49.
I did check the online price of a 2x4x8 at Home Depot, and it is still $3.85.
A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.599.
Frugality Tip
Halloween is my favorite holiday. We have a big Halloween party every year. I try to pick the theme in advance and then start gathering decorations when Halloween items go on clearance. For Halloween clearance shopping this year (so far) we got $300 retail value of items for less than $100. So hit the stores after the holiday and get more bang for your buck.
Happy savings y’all

Main topic of the Show: Five Oft-Overlooked Preps For The Homesteader
With all the unrest in the economy, looming worldwide war, accelerating technology and the push from the ruling class (for lack of a better term) to keep we peons unhealthy, just in debt enough that we are too scared to go our own way, and obsessed with the “two” options that are the “only” options so that we fight with ourselves instead of see the true enemy, is it any wonder that, more and more, people want to get out of the cities and homestead?
In a disaster a homestead is where you want to be, right? When you homestead, you go all in on Bugging In.
2 is 1
- Appalachia and resilience – it’s not just that it is rural. It is forgotten, abused, walked on, and easily cut off so people there rely on one another already
Typical homestead journey: chickens, garden, canning, wood heat, bigger livestock, hobbies like spinning or woodworking or whatnot.
Homesteaders have food covered – sort of. When was the last time you went to the feed store?
Mindset shift: prepare for the most likely problems, not wwIII and you will weather wwIII better than if you “prepare” for it.
FIVE OVERLOOKED PREPS
- Medical: Supplies for humans and livestock TRAINING, EDC – what do you have on you, Organization
- Bugging Out: Your plan is to bug in. Heck, my plan is to bug in. What is your plan if you have to leave quickly? Where are you going? How are you getting there? What will you use to travel? What about your livestock?
- Security: Beyond carrying a gun. TRAINING. What is the plan (who does what) if there is a two legged threat. What about four legged problems? How hard is it to get to your place? (Thorny hedges, security fencing, etc) Do you know when someone is coming? Can you fight if you have to? Like can you really?
- Food for livestock: Be honest. What is the plan? What is it if you can’t just fall back on TSC? How do you regenerate the food? And be honest? How much do you rely on the grocery store for humans. (Community Connections/Underground Network)
- Fitness: Can you do everything needed by hand? Are you healthy? What is your plan to get healthy? Is everyone in your family fit? (Dedicated space, nutrition, living apothecary,)
- Communication (Bonus item): Does everyone KNOW what the plans are, know where things are, also get training, know how to communicate if you bug in vs bug out?
As a homesteader you are likely more prepared in many ways than preppers in the city with lots of stuff and no skills, but how do we weather things for real? By getting better one day at a time and by eating the frog that we are avoiding so that we dont end up in a situation where we need a skill we could have built and we just didnt because it was distasteful.
Make it a great week!

Ruined breakers and water in my outdoor electrical service is a good thing!
Main topic of the Show: Life is a choice
Hopeless Situations
Someone is dying and you must care for them and cant earn money while you do it
A troop of soldiers ravage through your village stealing all the food and winter has just started
You are fired with no severance and don’t have any savings
A prominent group of people in your field are bad mouthing you and it is costing you business (Or any other gossip based problem)
You are hit by a subway train and when they extract you, you will die
You are stuck at a job because your family needs the health insurance and income, but you hate the job
Tidal wave Mud Slide and you are the only one to survive
You are your own first responder – by the time the govt gets there it is too late
You have to act and act on behalf of others because no one is coming to save you
What is your true goal
What is the current reality
What can you do right now to start moving toward your goal
How are you wasting time?
You cant change someone;s mind who has decided but you can wast your life trying to do so
Main point: there is always a choice. Pivot when you need to pivot. Live in the now and build the future – not in the past. Take back your time for it is your most precious resource.
