You can also use outdoor solar lights. I charged them outside and brought them in at night. I put them in a vase and they helped light the living room and hallway when we were without power for 11 days after a Derecho

Something else that is great to get from the Dollar Tree, especially if you have kids, is the 25 pack of glow sticks. The kids can wear them as a bracelet and have a constant light source to help them feel safe and you knw where they are.
Plus if you put them in a clear container with water the water magnifies the light making it great for in like the bathroom.

Love the vaseline tip. I keep vaseline with a bag of cotton balls. Put the vaseline on the cotton balls as fire starters.

There are 101 reasons to be prepared! When covid started and we were all Sheltering in place I did not need to go to the grocery store for 6 weeks because my freezer and Pantry were prepped. In addition, we had a medical emergency this year and I had a family member in the hospital. As a result we had no income coming in the house for a month and a half. That stockpile is what kept us going until we could get help.

BRAVO! I love when the "housewife" channels help normalize prepping for emergencies! Seems to wake a whole Lotta people up to what can happen when the mom's start talking. 👏 PS it's emergency preparedness month- I'm sure you can keep this topic rolling

Pads are also useful for wound dressing. It's meant to absorb blood after all. Every farmer in my hometown kept pads in their first aid kits.

The boxed milk: My husband and I are empty nesters now. We get the boxed milk by the case, and just have it in the pantry. We also are in hurricane central in Louisiana. So it's a great pantry item, and we use it as we need it. :) Highly recommend it.

I always keep Benadryl in my car because my granddaughter is extremely allergic to peanut butter & she always keeps her Epi-Pen with her. It’s one of those, just in case things. Also we went on a family reunion camping trip a couple of years ago & I decided that we needed a well stocked first aid kit. I included a good supply of things. Just for example, sunscreen, aloe, bug repellent wrist bands, first aid creme, triple antibiotic. I thought of so many things that weren’t in the kit, so I purchased a backpack to hold everything. We had a rustic building we could eat in case of rain. I put in on the first table as you walked in the door & let everyone know thats where it could found. It doesn’t hurt to be prepared. I don’t recall anyone ever saying I wish I hadn’t brought those bandaids, peroxide, etc. Once we got home, anything that had an expiration date, we put into our home supplies & made a list of those items to restock in our first aid supply when we needed it again.

I get the whole milk & then I can add some water to stretch it. The tall Jesus candles burn a long time—good value. The Himalayan pink salt 1lb is also a good deal

Things you want from Dollar Tree:
Candles, glow sticks, solar lights, lighters, matches
Batteries (they’re not the best, but will work in a pinch)
Vaseline
Feminine products
Small tool kit
Knife/flashlight
Cordage/Zip ties/sewing kit
Sterno copy (usually in party section)
Water bottles (metal if possible)
Metal bowls (check pet section, too)
Food, water, milk
Medicines/bandages
“Magic” towels/toilet paper
Watertight/airtight containers

This is a start. Use redundancy. Also find a plastic tub with lid to store everything, or a large backpack. You may also want to include a shower curtain liner or two, to keep you off of wet ground.

The Dollar Tree by me has Oat Milk! I love adding that Coconut Milk to iced coffee. It has a nice thick consistency like half and half or heavy cream.

Years ago I worked in a large grocery store that experienced a power outage. We had flashlights we used to guide customers thru the store and we had hand cranks that enabled us to use the register! Took longer but no one cared! Technology advances aren’t always the best or easy route!

The feminine products are so often forgotten! I have said over the years that you can probably go into any public bathroom around the globe and there are one thing that we females connect at: the feeling of not have what you need when you need it, and probably whoever you meet there will try to help you out if they can. I am known for always being prepared for a catastrophe in any size, and I always have with me extra to share. A friend of me got her period right when a wedding sermon was about to start 😮 She could not go out since the bride was about to get ready. The bathroom was also over the street since it was an old church. I saved the day, and it went okay. No situation on her dress either, thank God !

I have seen some prepper videos and I can agree that it is an forgotten item. I know some use fabric pads and cups, but in a situation it is smart to have something you can trow away, that don’t need to be clean with water to be used again. In a stressful situation our hormones can get of and it can come before and more heavy to, so just stock up 💪🏻

(I know you are secretly correcting my spelling so had to fix a couple, and my excuse is that I am Norwegian 😆 Love from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴)

Everyone living in Florida should watch this! So helpful . When we get hurricanes, people rush to the store and buy everything out. Always best to keep storm kit stocked ahead of when supplies get low . Great video!

I have been an extreme couponer for many years so in 2020 during the shortages, I was very minimally impacted. I was blessed to be able to share (not literally, lol) toilet paper with immediate family that couldn’t get any. I will always coupon, be a tight wad, hoard, and constantly be a prepper.

[TheLydiaM]

I love ordering online for my prepper stuff from Dollar Tree. I just bought a massive box of Name brand bar soap. I picked it up and now we’re set until the rapture with bar soap 😂

[HaleyHinman]

We don't have anyone in my family who uses feminine hygiene products on a regular basis but I stock them anyway. I keep them under my son's bathroom sink in case his friends need them. Also, if there is some sort of longer-term event, there is sure to be someone who needs them. In the most cynical but practical sense, they could be useful for bartering if necessary.

[marthak]

Absolutely second your tip about the babywipes! I still have an infant, but even when the last babe is grown I will keep these on hand - they are wildly convenient for everything!
Thanks for another brilliant video, Christine! God bless you and yours ☀️

[johnmal]

Another very important reason is simply get it while you can still afford it! Great video!

[myhillsidegarden]

WOW! None of the Dollar Tree stores by me EVER look like this. EVER! They are always a mess, boxes of items in the isle not on the shelf yet, blocking the isle, and things all over. Empty shelves. You are truly lucky.
