I have been re capping the first 100 things to disappear in an emergency and while I was out today I kept that list in mind...The items with the prices beside them were the sale stuff i picked up(well almost all of it was on sale,but those are the best savers)

You will notice all the school supplies were about 50% off and since we have had no snow up here and the weather has been good, well retailers are desperate to sell their winter stuff and gloves,mitts,hats and boots are on sale at really good prices

I also stocked up on some food items,breakfast cereal and salad dressings and had to buy what we needed for couple of weeks...the car was packed

I'm too broke to prep, November was the same, sorry, I forgot it too!
January and February I'll be replacing what I've used and prepping again for real.
We bought DD a digital piano, 88 keys, weighted keys, with a bench and everything. That's the biggest Christmas present, DH is getting a Kindle Fire, as is oldest DS. The younger kids are getting games, toys, and writing desks to share.
Once I catch up the bills from all this, we can return to prepping and eating meat, I hope.
