Winter storms like the one were experiencing can leave us in the lurch for day to day living. Here are some helpful tips that might just make life easier in the next storm. *buy a bag of skim milk powder. We all know its kind of yucky, but if youre snowbound for a few days and out of milk, it can make the difference between being able to prepare meals or not. *keep a few days worth of emergency meals on hand. Easy and cheap things like a few bags of pasta and jars of sauce. Again, a lifesaver if you cant get to the store. *freeze a dozen or two eggs for emergency use. Crack them open, put individual eggs into a muffin tin and freeze overnight, then transfer into a freezer bag the next day. Frozen eggs can be used the same as fresh. *try not to let your basic staples (potatoes, rice, bread, cereal, etc) get too low. Always try to buy at least one bag/box ahead, if your budget allows. *toilet paper. Need I say more? *if you have a baby or toddler, keep at least a day or two of formula/food and diapers set aside. *Prescription Meds. Refill your regular prescriptions a week before they run out. *Gas in your Vehicle. In the winter, try to never let your car go below half a tank. Living where we do, we can never know for sure what winter will bring. These are just a few things you can do to be prepared.
