An emergency can be right around the corner at any time. A windstorm could knock the power out, finances can make the grocery budget tight, a snow storm could make you trapped at home for a while, etc.. It is a good idea to have a few extra things on hand in case of an emergency. I put together a list of five simple and cheap things to help you in case of an emergency. Some you may already have. It is easy to think that you don't have the time or money to prepare, but with these cost effective ways to get started anyone can prepare for an emergency.
1.) WATER (Have at least one gallon of water per person and per pet on hand at all times.)
2.) BLANKETS (Store some extra blankets. You can use them if the power goes out or if you have an unexpected guest)
3.) TOILET PAPER (Make sure that you have a large package of extra toilet paper stashed somewhere.)
4.) FOOD (Get several cans of your favorite soup/chili. Make sure that you have a non electric can opener.)
5.) FIRST AID KIT (Spend the extra money to get a good quality first aid kit. In an emergency, you will want to have the proper equipment to take care of yourself and others.)
