kimberly johns – $aving Money Tip$

We are about to enter THE HOLIDAY SEASON! For some of us, just the thought of the upcoming holiday season can send us into a deep, dark funk. Money is already tight, the budget is stretched to the limit and we feel more like the Grinch who stole Christmas rather than Jolly Old St. Nicholas. This is not a time of enjoyment for us but we participate anyway. I’m sure you have either seen or heard of the TV series, Doomsday Preppers. The series is devoted to showing us how to get ready for nearly any world shaking disaster by stashing away food, water, clothing, gasoline, guns and ammunition and how to ready our home or a “bug out” spot so that we can make it through

Frugal but Healthy Home Remedies from Grandma’s Time

As we move into October, I started thinking about winter and some of the unpleasant things it brings our way. Things that we don’t seem to have much control over; such as catching a cold or, even worse, the flu. I usually spend at least half the winter coughing and no known over-the-counter prescription seems to bring about a cure. Then, there’s the dreaded “congestion”; when you actually pray for just one good breath. In a time of soaring health care costs – when a single trip to the doctor’s office can cost hundreds of dollars and a visit to the hospital emergency room can balloon into thousands – it is comforting to know that there are many everyday health problems that you can safely and successfully
