Our General Store…Veggies…Help Someone This Year

As you gather with family this week and reflect upon all you have to be thankful for I hope you will remember those who are suffering through tragic situations and commit to helping someone this holiday season. Now may be the time to just help for some and the time to teach self reliance principles for others. Raffle tickets to help a deserving family here at Totally Ready, are still available and selling very, very slowly so you have a really….good chance of winning. If you can help this family please purchase a ticket of two today. Whatever you do to help, please do something for someone.

As you do any last minute shopping this week add 10 cans vegetables per family member to your General Store. If you prefer frozen every 16 oz. bag of frozen equals two cans. Don’t, however, make the mistake of putting too much of your store into frozen. When the power fails freezer food are only good for 24-48 hours. You should be able to purchase vegetables on sale this week so it’s a great time to stock up.

As a family we have committed to a simple Christmas this year. We will be making gifts and giving food storage items that we have canned ourselves. Last year I gave my sister-in-law a port a potty seat. What a tacky gift? No, she loved it!  They lived through the Northridge earthquake and know what it means to be without plumbing for days. Remember to check out the specials at Totally Ready or pick up a few extra cans of vegetables to help someone get started.
