1. Disaster Preparedness
Week 15 was more medical supplies. Week 16 was survival tools. I feel pretty good about the items for both weeks. I do not think it is possible to always have everything for every situation. If I can hit the high points, I am happy.
2. Makeover the Garden
I have two raised beds filled and planted with either seeds or plants. I still need a second herb bed. We have all of the materials for building it. I also have a final raised bed to fill. I hope to get a garden tour post up later this week.
3. Organize Recipes
I have been too busy outside to work on this.
4. Have 13 No Spend Grocery Weeks
With our current situation I expect to get this and then some. I added one no spend week during week 15 which brings my total to four. I had a very low spend week last week as I only purchased a bag of potatoes. I will have to do some shopping this week though. I am out of flour (all-purpose and bread). Both are definite needs. My plan is to buy what I need for the next couple of weeks and skip going into town next week.
5. Focus on Saving
I am continuing to look for more ways to save and ways to bring in some extra money. I have cut some unnecessary expenses to help our money go a little further. This past week our focus was on eating up leftovers. Right now very little food goes to waste. Vegetable scraps go to the chickens/rabbits or into the compost bin.
6. Have Fun
I can honestly say that most of the past few weeks has not been fun. Toward the end of week 16 I started to feel like things will be okay. I have had fun working on ideas for my Etsy shop. I am planning to add things in stages. While recent events have been a bit scary, I am excited that W and I are both pursuing something we really love.
