Those are the things that I'm focusing on getting a decent reserve of, both for my group and for barter. A few of the items listed above don't fit into the 'multiple uses' category, but they're things that definitely make life easier. <br /><br />For the more expensive stuff, I keep an eye on Freecycle & at yard sales, also looking for tools (hammers, screwdrivers, files, punches, etc), screening, buckets/tubs and other potentially useful stuff.Melanie ZZGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072091012701531869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881803298089942587.post-14284752994380409832012-04-27T19:11:52.606-07:002012-04-27T19:11:52.606-07:00I just bought 6 pair of readers today!I just bought 6 pair of readers today!Self Reliant Networkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12767254742183472827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881803298089942587.post-62257940176059646182012-04-27T19:10:56.594-07:002012-04-27T19:10:56.594-07:00lol, Thats my favorite one!
