Preparedness:

Blog:  Lucy's Frugal Living

I fear Lucy has been holding out on us (or me, at any rate).  Not until this past Sunday did she tell me of her blog, Lucy's Frugal Living, which she has maintained for quite some time--years in fact.  (This is not the blog specific to home storage blog she anticipates creating with Sister Cheryl Driggs.  But that is another matter.  Check out Lucy's blog.  It's full of great money-saving and bargain-hunting ideas, great recipes, and lost of Lucy commentary.  You'll be glad you did.
