Well today’s thrifty thought is brought you by The Groundhog day storm. If you are lucky enough (haha) to be in its way let’s hope you were prepared. How can I include this in the thrifty thought? Well do you have all your supplies ready before it hits? If not, you will be paying premium prices on batteries, higher grades of gas, and so on. I live in the country and it is at least a 20 minute drive into the larger town where we get most of our goods. With the impending storm, we were checking on the necessities we will need if the lights go out and low and behold there are no “D” batteries. So this morning on the way to work, I stopped at our little grocery store and of course they sold out already. Now this storm isn’t due until tonight mind you. So now I will need to drive out of my way to buy these batteries, and I was just in town at the grocery yesterday! But all in all we are ready, generator has been tested, we have 10 gallons of drinking water, an almost full tank of propane on the grill. I even practiced plowing snow with the bobcat yesterday. Now I am not saying “BRING IT ON” , but I do feel prepared.
Did I mention my hubby will be out of town for it. That’s how it seems to go. LOL
