I have a friend at work that coupons and she knows where to go to get the best value and best coupons. I think Harris Tieter is where she shops and often leaves with them owing her money back. I have a lot to lean from her!
Nice to see some likeminded ladies. 
Think my prepping started from my family not living near big cities as a child. We had to do more for ourselves, but this was just what you had to do. As you have guessed I'm old with 5 grown Children, 16 Grandchildren & 6 Great Grandchildren. Have gardened since childhood with my folks, & am now a Master Gardner Volunteer, & a Master Food Preparer Volunteer, and Master composter. I have a large guarden of my own & grow most of our veggies, some fruit, have a few chickens, & have run a small family business for 32 years. Prepping came naturally with all this background stuff I live in the Pacific Northwest so garden year round. When I met my husband 35 years ago, I had ( & still do) more firearms than he did. Hunting and fishing was just part of life. I take Tai Chi & would like to learn knife fighting if I could find a teacher in this area. (Think it would keep me out of trouble, lol)

Wow, I could learn a lot from you Ivori Maybe you could give tips on growing and stuff. It's getting harder and harder to find stuff in detail since so many sites are cropping up. They just talk in general and you can find that stuff anywhere. I've shot a few guns but don't own any. I realize I'm going to have to get one eventually so any advice for the women would be appreciated. I'm a small girl so no talk about big guns, they would probably knock me over.

If you have a gun club in your area a gun safety course can get you started the right way.
Perhaps you have a friend that is gun savy. Good place to start

Amy, if you are looking for a rifle, ask for a youth model of a .243. The rifle is sized for young teens and seems to work well for smaller sized women in that it is a comfortable fit to the shoulder and you don't feel over-extended.

Hello! I am HJ1984 and I am the female moderator of the site! I was just given this title and I just want to take a few moments of your time and welcome you to the site! I am sure that you can tell that women are few and far between in the prepper world, or maybe they are all just "closet prepping" as I like to call it! I too was a "closet prepper" until just recently.
Being a mother and homemaker I feel it as my duty to prepare my family for ANYTHING that could happen that threatens the lives of my children and family. Be it a devastating storm or an economic collapse, I want to have done everything I possibly can to be ready for that day.
Women bring to the table a ton of knowledge and ideas that are sometimes overlooked by men...don't get me wrong, men play a very important role in our survival and without them we most likely wouldn't make it. Though I feel they could survive without women, I think they'd rather not
Please look around the site, be active and speak your opinion and post your ideas often as we can only learn more from each other! I feel that women tend to plan for general disasters/emergencies on a daily basis (e.g Fresh clothes for a soiled baby, Tylenol and tissues in our purses, everything else that we carry in our "everything but the kitchen sink purses" that ppl are always shocked that we have yet thankful we do!) and that helps us to better prepare for bigger emergencies as well!
I can't wait to talk with you all and hear your thoughts, concerns, questions, ideas and more!
Welcome aboard and please feel free to message me at anytime!
Hey there! It is good to see that there are ladies on here contributing to this kind of thing. I am new here and look forward to sharing what I know and I cant wait to learn from you ladies as well. I do believe time/life is short and we should always be prepared as we can be for anything crazy that may erupt at any given time. I do see a lot of people saying they have purchased under ground bunkers or they have built their own. I am on a fixed income and would like to know how does someone like me come up with something like that...or is it not even possible? Sometimes I think based on my income, its best to bug out where I currently am...in my apartment. I have a husband and 2 teenage daughters. My husband cant find a job to save his life and so he is supposed to start college here soon. As usual, everyone thinks I am going over board or being too serious and crazy with all this. I do believe in God and I constantly watch how the worldly news ties in with biblical prophecies on the daily basis. Alot of people refuse to open their eyes or hate to admit that I am on to something. No one wants to hear the truth anymore... and I believe that if they just took these things into consideration that they would be investing in their own safety as well as their loved ones. They tends to shake their head at me when it comes to this topic...I tend to shake my head at them for doubting me. I feel if they only educated themselves, they would see why people like us do what we do. Thanks for reading! and God bless you all!

Ps: would like to add that right before I wrote this, CNN just announced that the price of milk is going up to $7.00-$8.00 a gallon and that this is just the beginning

uh-oh here comes a newbie My name is Kristy. I'm super excited to "meet" other women who prep. I just got my first firearm- a little 25, it's a good fit. I dabble in couponing, CVS has been good to me. I hit a great sale on cold/flu meds and a few weeks later we all had the flu. I was ready- husband was happy. Some aspects of prepping make sense to him but others make him roll his eyes. Won't okay raising rabbits but loves that when we run out of ketchup or coffee, I run to the stockpile and poof, there it is! It's going to take a while to get him fully on board. I get a little tired of my family treating me like I am crazy because I keep buying supplies and trying to pick up whatever survivalist skills I can. I'm really happy to have found this forum!
