Recently I posted about my ordering RX eyeglasses through a company called Zenni Optical.   http://www.zennioptical.com/ this isn’t really an endorsement of them except to say I have been very happy with their service and pricing. They have enough styles of frames to keep me happy and I have been using them for about 4 years.

But like I said this isn’t really an endorsement. I am sure when it comes to Rx eye wear there are other sites that do just as well.

What I am hoping to do is to get your wheels turning with the idea that sometimes (not always) you can save money by shopping online.  Almost every store has sales now and again even online stores.   

Let’s jump into a totally different subject. Apples….. It’s the time of year when the apples are coming in. Orchards are full. Bring the kids out to hike around the orchard then stop and bring home apples. How much is up to you but certainly you want enough for eating and doing any fresh baking. But have you considered putting up your own dried apples. It’s easy enough. Especially if you have an old fashioned hand crank peeler, slicer, coring machine.  Spray the apples down with lemon juice. Right out of a squirt bottle or spray bottle. This keeps them from turning brown. Spread them out in your dehydrator and away you go.

Time to save some money. Needing a new pair of glasses I ordered a new set from Zinni optical, there an online store. My eyeglasses because of my prescription are usually very expensive even if i go with cheapo frames. At Zinni i can expect to pay 2/3rds less. Walmart will do the adjusting for free.

I had started this blog with idea that my family and friends would take the opportunity to read about preparedness and food storage. There by helping me to magnify my callings as the ward preparedness specialist and the wards home storage specialist.

I may write about things that you may not think have anything to do with being prepared but if it will save you money by showing or explaining how to do something on your own then you will not be dependent on someone else in a crisis.

There are so many good sources for information out there on so many topics. I would recommend a few of them to you. First is http://providentliving.org  this one is provident living. It is full of good basic information and the source can be unquestionable.  The next I would recommend is a Boy Scout manual. I learned so much good basic information from an old scout manual that was given to me as a boy. You can pick these up in any scout store. Sometimes you run across these manuals in 2^nd hand stores or even garage sales. Another source is You Tube. I won’t vouch for its accuracy unless something is posted by a source you trust. But even a source your uncertain about may give good information. Just be careful of the internet commandos out there whose man purpose seems to be to just get a following.  Also another great source is http://71.14.99.192/ This is the public side of the Rubicon whose Motto is "Facta Non Verba"
