Sensible Q People Needed

You know how I'm always talking blogging about the Q? The monthly shipping program which Shelf Reliance put into place for those of us who don't have that proverbial money tree growing in their backyard?

Well it really makes great sense! So I'm looking for 10 sensible people who would like to invest in something that can pay off in great dividends. My goal in the 12 days is to find you, the sensible ones and help you redirect some of your current food bill to the Q. How could this possibly be accomplished?

Easy peasy. Do you make impulse purchases each month (Big Gulp, Red Bull, Monsters, candy bars, ice cream etc.)? Do you throw away food(It's really amazing how much food gets plopped onto a little kids' plate that gets washed down the kitchen sink)(Portion control begins with toddlers!)? Do you eat fast food unnecessarily? (I know sometimes it's a life saver. But most times it's impulsive.) Can you identify and locate $25 per week that you could redirect towards THRIVE foods? I bet you can.

So here's what you do:
*You make a list of foods that are staples.


*You make a list of foods that you use often in your regular recipes:

*You make a list of foods you would NEED to comfort yourself in times of hardship.


List 1 will have things like flour, sugar, beans, wheat, milk, rice, salt, meat, eggs, water.
List 2 will have things like onions, peppers, ground beef, tomato products, bananas, pancake mix, butter, strawberries, boullion, celery, pasta, chicken, powdered drink mixes.
List 3 will have things like fudge brownie mix, mangoes, mushrooms, cheese, cherries, grapes, coconut macaroons, ice cream, chocolate drink.

The cool thing is that no matter what you put on your list or how much you put on it, YOU are in control of it on a monthly basis! Which means you can rearrange what is being sent each month. You can add or delete products on your list. You can pause or cancel your shipments after 90 days. You can even change your budget amount after 90 days! It's not a long term contract. Yay for the average American pocketbook!

So are there 10 of you reading this that are game? It's not a game really. It truly is serious. I've heard many stories of food storage getting people through hard & unexpected times. But there are at least 10 of you sensible enough to sit down and get serious yourself.

Those first 10 will be getting a gift from me as a thank you. Not sayin' what it is except something related to emergency preparedness. (Okay. I'm saying what it is! A free pantry can of 6 grain pancake mix. Yummmm!)

There are 12 days left in this month. It's leap year. Sensible people will know it's the right time to LEAP!

What's YOUR Best 'Worst Case Scenario'?




It's no laughing matter. There are a lot of disasters out 'there'. We are sort of cushioned as long as those disasters stay out 'there' and don't bother us 'here'. We read of war, shortages, unemployement, famine, pestilence, disease, earthquake, and so many etc. Some things we have experienced to some degree. I remember my first big earthquake. We lived about 5 miles from the epicenter so it was a violent bit of shaking! I truly thought that California was going to slide into the Pacific Ocean and that this was my last day on earth! (That was 41 years ago this February 9th).



Not pleasant. I'm sure many of you have similar experiences.

Whatever the disaster may be that is lurking in your future, you have RIGHT NOW to do something ahead of it. Buy a case of soup or fruits or vegetables. Even tuna or spam. Don't forget a can opener (hand crank! Who knows if we'll have power!)

You know I've been harassing you for a long time about the what ifs. I've been doing everything in my bloggin power to convince you to order something yummy and nutritious from Shelf Reliance to at least put away in case of a job loss or other financial deficit or extended power outageor whatever. These are old stats but it's a good indicator of what's going on:

Really! What more can I do to increase your awareness and awaken your sense of urgency? You know you waste money on frivolous things, expensive things, unecessary things. Diverting that money towards some food storage will not 'hurt' you. You know this so why am I continually harping on about it? What is YOUR best 'worst case scenario' and more importantly, are you ready?

Well there's a new menace out there. One for which there is no hope for release. A terrifying new disaster just waiting in the wings. Believe me, if you haven't heard of it before, it will scare the crap out of you!

I'm in the business of educating people, warning people, preparing people. Providing the best product I've ever found in taste, nutrition, convenience and affordability is what I do every day. I do it for myself and my family first and then I reach out to all of yous guys.

Please channel your inner boyscout before this next disaster strikes!! (No. It's not the November elections. But it's almost as scary!)



Yes. That's right. Zombie Apocolypse. Coming soon. As if we didn't already have enough to worry about!

How to be cool this summer...



What's totally cool about this blog is that it leads you directly to my website. What's totally cool about my website is that you can order directly from it without having to go to a party! I mean, parties are okay and all and mine are extra special if I do say so, but it's an evening out, dressing up, missing your fave TV show, etc. You can go to my website in your PJ's! PLUS you get my consultant pricing at the same time! C-O-O-L!

So be cool! Just go here, do this - order and then wear your sunglasses at night cuz you are just way too cool for school!
