prepping on a budget

[Mandlaka]

A lot of folks who I spoke to all mentioned along the lines of they are up to their eyeballs in bills etc. I said begin by buying an extra tin or two of something that they could put away and not use immediately. I spoke of hurricane Sandy and how a lot of folks could have fared better if they had set aside 2 weeks' food and some water (built up slowly) but all I got was some cursory grunt in response.
These were close friends and a neighbour whom I thought were all fore-thinking folks.
I will try with my friends again but after this last try will leave them to their decision if they still will not bother to think seriously about prepping - even if it is just to help them avoid being stung by the coming food price rises (a lot of which have already started)...

Sheeple *sigh*...
