Just a little secret I would like to share........

Okay I can't remember who I got this idea from, or how it started, but I order free samples all the time online from different places, and those free samples go in our family 72 hour kits. One of the cheapest ways to be prepared. I also never pass up a chance to grab all the soaps and samples in our many hotel stays, which totally embarrasses Pres and the kids. Anyways. Here is one of the free samples websites I visit at least once a week. http://walmart.triaddigital.com/Free-Samples.aspx
Plus Walmart lets you order as many samples as you want. I just order one, and then wait till I receive the sample and then order another one. They change them probably once a week. Any extra samples go in the sample boxes in our closet labeled: soaps, shampoo & conditioner, medicines, makeup & perfumes, and misc boxes! Plus, I cannot even count how many times we ran out of something on Sunday, and were able to go to our sample box and grab a dishwasher tab, or a bottle of shampoo, or conditioner!

I remember seeing your sample boxes in your garage when I was staying with you in Killeen. It was awe-inspiring. I might one day get it together and copy your idea, but I haven't yet. More's the shame!

72hr. packs are alot easier to keep up with than 1 year of food storage. and besides they are fun. use them up ever so often for fhe - pretend you are having an emergency! eat all the stuff- update the clothing.

What have we been up to?
