Someone should write a book showing poor people how to prep with little or no money, especially now that the Obama economy have made us the majority.
Prepping on a Budget

One thing I do is dehydrate and vacuum pack most of my own vegetables.
Poverty and prepping go hand in hand.
Camping is for poor people, and camping gear and camp cooking is a foundation for prepping, the same with shopping for food sales and buying in bulk and by the case, it is how smart poor people shop, yet it is also a foundation of prepping.
Getting back to food basics and cooking are for poor people, yet again, it is a foundation of prepping.
Grinding your own wheat and baking a loaf of bread makes pinto beans a fine dinner, real popcorn and homemade marshmallows make kids think they are getting special treats, not cheap treats.
Serving your beer buddies your home pickled eggs and liqueurs and Schnapps, makes you appear generous while they pay for the beer. For an impressive and flavorful snack or light meal, serve Belgium fries with homemade mayonnaise for dipping, French style. For breakfast, grind some wheat and make pancakes.
Homemade foods, homemade pies and cakes that cost little, fresh ground wheat, all can conceal that less flavorful, expensive foods, and meats or certain meat cuts, are absent, by the way, with good cooking, a little fish or a few shrimp can go a long way.
Part of the magic about doing the 1880 cooking thing, is that it is actually a vast improvement for the vast majority of Americans in terms of flavor and feeling satisfied after the meal, and it fascinates guests and makes them feel special, while revealing you as competent and intelligent, it elevates you as a cook, while you are saving a fortune, and truly mastering the experience of prepping.
That’s simple—from the administration, it’d be a pamphlet—take it, it’s all yours!

The Mormans have a few books out about this.What to buy with each weeks shopping
If you’re poor, you don’t have the money to buy the book. When you’re making a dime over the EBT level, you already know how to made do. The +50% who don’t have three days of food and water are most likely in the upper income levels who eat out and haven’t a clue how to cook. The only thing anyone needs to know is the basic life skills - sanitation, health, sewing, cooking, hunting, gardening and common sense.
The past couple weeks, I’ve put up over two dozen jars of jelly. This poor prepper’s stock of jelly and Christmas shopping is done!
