Summary

Today’s guest is passionate about equipping moms to be prepared for whatever life throws at them. In our conversation, we dove into the subjects of two of Karen’s books: preparing your home with long-term food storage and preparing your vehicle with everything you need on the go. Karen breaks down how anyone can get started building their long-term food storage supply without blowing the budget. She also goes through some items to keep stocked in your vehicle so you are prepared for any situation that may arise on the go. There are some brilliant things on her list that you may not have thought of! If you want to feel more prepared to take care of your family whether at home or on the run, lend an ear to Karen’s sage advice!

In this episode, we cover:

How couponing got Karen started on her preparedness endeavor
The preparedness grocery shopping strategy that will save you time and money
Practical resources to help you map out your food preparedness plan
Thinking through which staples to stock up on for long-term food storage
What you might not think about when preparing your vehicle for everyday emergencies

0:00.0	I just know that every Thursday before I go to Costco on a Friday, I have to go out and I just
0:05.8	go through everything that we have. So that way there's a set time that I do it. I know what's
0:10.8	going to get done because it's a part of my routine. It helps that crud. I've got this big
0:15.4	thing I've got to do and so I want to procrastinate on it even more. Having that set time I found
0:20.0	is really helpful. Yeah, that's helpful with so many things around the house. They can really
0:24.1	affect you mentally if you don't know that you're going to deal with it at some point and having
