    Long term ammo storage

    The most common problem when it comes to storing ammo for a long period of time is corrosion. Over time humidity can wreak havoc on your ammo causing them to either become unreliable or worse yet, dangerous to fire.

    In most cases the paper boxes that your ammunition came is more than adequate when storing ammo in your house for a couple of years. If you plan on storing it for any longer than that you need to take a couple of precautions.
    1. Vacuum Seal - Vacuum sealing your ammunition can help protect it from water, rusting or even burying it underground.
    2. Rotation – Just like long term food storage, the key to successfully storing ammo is to rotate your ammunition as often as possible. Make sure you mark dates on your ammo cans so you use the oldest ammo first.
    3. Humidity Kills – Humidity is probably one of the biggest things that you need to worry about. Try to keep your ammo in a low humidity location.
    4. Periodic Checks – I usually look at my ammo every year or so for signs of corrosion. Doing periodic checks will make sure your stocks are ready when you need them.
    5. Silica Packets – Those little silica gel packets that come in just about everything these days are a great way to keep your ammo in top notch condition. Silica Gel or desiccant packets should be placed in your ammo cans to help get rid of moisture.

    Moderate Nutrient Deficiency Shown To Have Effects Similar To Serious Diseases

    June 3, 2011 by Personal Liberty News Desk


    The trace mineral selenium is present in many sources of protein and carbohydrates. While most Americans get adequate amounts of the nutrient, researchers at the Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute recently revealed that even a moderate deficiency can have harmful effects on the body.

    The scientists found that inadequate levels of selenium cause mechanisms in cells and tissue to protect essential proteins at the expense of seemingly less-important proteins. The loss of these molecules may lead the body to display characteristics similar to those found in patients with cancer, heart disease, immune disorders or cognitive decline.

    “This paper should settle any debate about the importance of taking a good, complete multivitamin every day,” said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., editor of the FASEB Journal.

    Authors of the study said the findings demonstrate how vitamin and mineral deficiency affect the body over a long period of time. Additionally, this kind of research may help individuals to determine their optimal nutrient intake in the future.

    Further research will be needed to determine whether other nutrient inadequacies have the same physiological effects as those of selenium deficiency.

    The War On Stomach Acid

    May 31, 2011 by Bob Livingston



    Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is what Americans think of as acid indigestion. What a misnomer! The pharmaceuticals love it because it provides for a trillion-dollar worldwide market for antacids. There are thousands of antacids under as many names.

    “Acid indigestion” is very painful, and people are easily attracted to what they believe is the quick relief of antacids. Sad! Because antacids and proton pump inhibitors (the purple pill) block the first major step in digestion.

    We are created with hydrochloric acid and pepsin in our stomachs to digest our food and provide nutrition to our bodies. Hydrochloric acid and pepsin are the basis of nutrition and health.
    Stomach pH is very acidic, as low as pH 1 to 2, whereas the rest of the human body is about 7.3 or slightly alkaline.

    “Acid indigestion” is caused, not by too much acid, but by a lack or shortage of hydrochloric acid — something the marketers of antacids will never tell you.

    There is a whole new world of relief from “acid indigestion” with something as simple as having lemon juice with meals. Give it one to two days. And, yes, I cured my own acid indigestion with a teaspoon of sea salt in a glass of water for a few days. My son did the same.

    Of course, your friendly cardiologist will blow a gasket when he hears this, but he loves his ignorance.

    Millions upon millions live a life of discomfort when they are so close to relief. If we kill our stomach acid with antacids, we will ultimately wind up with stomach cancer. The medical community is mostly ignorant of this.

    To learn more about hydrochloric acid, read the books Acid and Alkaline by Herman Aihara, Alkalize or Die by Dr. Theodore A. Baroody and Three Years of HCl Therapy.

    The book, Three Years of HCl Therapy is no longer in print. It currently sells on Amazon.com for as much as $51. It contains documented cases of HCl therapy success stories in treating diseases and conditions like diabetes, pneumonia, malaria, meningitis, toxemia and many others.
    We currently have a limited number of these books, and you can have a copy for free by clicking here.

    Vit D Protects Against Non-Lethal Radiation, Cancers

    The protection afforded by vitamin D against low radiation damage

    By: Daniel P. Hayes;
    Courtesy of International Journal of Low Radiation (IJLR)
    Oct. 30, 2008

    Our general understanding and appreciation of the multifaceted protective actions of vitamin D have recently entered a new era. It is now becoming recognised that its most active molecular form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (also known as calcitriol), may offer protection against a variety of radiation- and otherwise-induced damages. As will be discussed, vitamin D carries out its protective actions by a host of mechanisms, among these being cell cycle regulation and proliferation, cellular differentiation and communication, Programmed Cell Death (PCD) (apoptosis and autophagy) and antiangiogenesis. As will be proposed and developed, vitamin D, with its preventative/ameliorating actions, should be considered among the prime (if not the primary) nonpharmacological agents that offer protection against sublethal low radiation damage and, in particular, against radiation-induced cancer.

    Keywords: low radiation, vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, apoptosis, autophagy, cell regulation, cellular communication, DNA damage, radiation-induced cancer, hormesis, radiation protectors, calcitriol, radiation damage, antiangiogenesis, cell cycle regulation, cellular differentiation

    Vit D Can Greatly Reduce Fukushima Radiation Damage

    This Vitamin Can Radically Reduce Damage from Radioactivity from Fukushima

    Posted By Dr. Mercola | June 03 2011

    As understanding of Vitamin D increases, it is becoming apparent that its most active form, Vitamin D3 (calcitriol), may offer protection against a variety of radiation-induced damages. Vitamin D’s protective action is carried by a wide variety of mechanisms, including cell cycle regulation and proliferation, cellular differentiation and communication, and programmed cell death (apoptosis).
    A paper on the subject argued that vitamin D should be considered among the prime nonpharmacological agents that offer protection against low radiation damage and radiation-induced cancer -- or even the primary agent.
    According to the paper in the International Journal of Low Radiation:

    "... [O]ur understanding of how vitamin D mediates biological responses has entered a new era ... In view of the evidence that has been presented here, it would appear that vitamin D by its preventive/ameliorating actions should be given serious consideration as a protective agent against sublethal radiation injury, and in particular that induced by low radiation".

    Dr. Mercola's Comments:


    Many concerned readers have been asking for strategies to help prevent damage caused by radioactive fallout from the recent nuclear disaster in Japan. In all likelihood, radiation from the Fukushima nuclear plant is NOT a serious threat to your health unless you are in the near vicinity. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has so far uncovered only very low radiation levels and notes that even those are declining.
    As of May 3, 2011, they wrote:
    "It is important to note that all of the radiation levels detected by RadNet monitors and sampling have been very low, are well below any level of public health concern, and continue to decrease over time."
    This information was released before the operator of Fukushima announced at the end of May that additional fuel rods had melted at the facility, although it's unclear whether that will impact U.S. risks since the meltdown reportedly occurred in the hours and days immediately following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
    Regardless, considering the United States has many older nuclear plants that are susceptible to disasters like the one that occurred in Japan, this should not be considered the final word on radioactive fallout. Should a disaster occur close to home, or if you are currently in the vicinity of the Fukushima plant, it's important to have non-toxic strategies for protection available, and one of these may be vitamin D.
    How Does Vitamin D Protect Against Radiation-Induced Damage?

    Scientists have identified a total of nearly 3,000 genes that are upregulated by vitamin D, so it makes sense that it would have "multifaceted protective actions," as researchers noted in the International Journal of Low Radiation.
    The report found that the most active molecular form of vitamin D -- D3 (also known as calcitriol) -- may offer protection against a variety of radiation-induced damages, including those caused by background radiation or a low-level nuclear incident, through the following mechanisms:
    • Cell cycle regulation and proliferation
    • Cellular differentiation and communication
    • Programmed Cell Death (PCD)
    • Anti-angiogenesis (a process that stops tumors from making new blood vessels, which means they stop growing)
    The protective mechanisms are so strong that researchers suggested vitamin D3 should be considered among the prime (if not the primary) non-pharmacological agents to protect against sub-lethal low radiation damage and, particularly, radiation-induced cancer.
    It's unclear how much vitamin D is necessary to protect against radiation-induced cancer, but researchers have found that daily intakes of vitamin D by adults in the range of 4,000-8,000 IU are needed to maintain blood levels of vitamin D metabolites in the range needed to reduce the risk of breast and colon cancers by about half.
    Earlier studies have shown that optimizing your vitamin D levels could help you to prevent at least 16 different types of cancer including pancreatic, lung, ovarian, prostate, and skin cancers, so it's not a stretch to add radiation-induced cancer to that list.
    It has been my experience that many are still nervous about taking doses larger than 1,000 to 2,000 units per day. This is unfortunate as most adults without sun or safe tanning bed exposure will need 6,000-8,000 units of vitamin D per day to attain healthy vitamin D levels.
    Three Points to Remember About Vitamin D

    When using vitamin D therapeutically, it's important to remember the following:
    1. Your best source for vitamin D is exposure to the sun, without sunblock on your skin, until your skin turns the lightest shade of pink. While this isn't always possible due to the change of the seasons and your geographic location (and your skin color), this is the ideal to aim for. Vitamin D supplementation or use of a safe tanning bed can fill the gaps during the winter months outside of the tropics, when healthy sun exposure is not an option.
    2. If you supplement with vitamin D, you'll only want to supplement with natural vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Do NOT use the synthetic and highly inferior vitamin D2, which is the one most doctors will give you in a prescription unless you ask specifically for D3.
    3. Get your vitamin D blood levels checked! The only way to determine the correct dose is to get your blood tested since there are so many variables that influence your vitamin D status. I recommend using Lab Corp in the United States. Getting the correct test is the first step in this process, as there are TWO vitamin D tests currently being offered: 1,25(OH)D and 25(OH)D.

      The correct test your doctor needs to order is 25(OH)D, also called 25-hydroxyvitamin D, which is the better marker of overall D status. This is the marker that is most strongly associated with overall health.
    What Else Can You do to Protect Against Radiation Risks?

    Biologists and drug makers have long been on the hunt for a pill that would protect humans from radiation in the event of a nuclear accident or terrorist attack. Currently, there is no such "magic pill," but there are a few close seconds, aside from vitamin D:
    Potassium Iodide
    If you're exposed to radioactive iodine, your thyroid, which uptakes iodine from your blood to make thyroid hormones, will actively take in this substance. This is why thyroid cancer is one of the greatest risks following exposure to this type of radiation.
    Potassium iodide (a stable form of iodine) works by essentially "flooding" your system with iodine so your thyroid has no need to take in the radioactive form. The American Thyroid Association recommends that anyone living within 50 miles of a nuclear plant have potassium iodide in their household at all times in the event of a radiation emergency, and advises the supplement be made available to those living within 200 miles of a plant.
    However, you should only take potassium iodide if you are near active radiation fallout. This is NOT a strategy that should be used as a long-term preventive because it only protects your thyroid for one to three days, no longer, and taking it when not absolutely necessary could result in thyrotoxicosis.
    In this regard, vitamin D may be far superior because it can be taken before, during and after a radiation incident with only positive ramifications, assuming you monitor your blood levels to keep them in the optimal range.
    Remember, it's only if you are deficient in iodine that if a radioactive cloud passes by, your body will tend to suck that radioactive iodine into your thyroid gland to fill up its iodine stores.
    In an ideal situation you will have been taking adequate amounts of iodine from safe sources, which will protect you from radioactive iodine naturally. In reality, however, many are likely iodine deficient.
    I recently conducted an interview with Dr. David Brownstein, who has compiled a tremendous amount of clinical data on this topic and can be considered an expert in this area.
    Dr. Brownstein has been working with iodine for the last 20 years. He has tested over 5,000 patients in his clinic and found over 95% of them to be iodine deficient. This is an incredible result as it puts iodine deficiency on par with the percentage of people that are deficient in vitamin D.
    Spirulina
    Spirulina -- a blue-green algae -- might be another useful alternative to protect against the effects of radiation, and there is in fact research backing this up. Spirulina was actually used to treat children exposed to chronic low levels of radiation after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
    According to a scientific review of spirulina's benefits:
    "Up to very recently, the interest in Spirulina was mainly in its nutritive value. Currently, however, numerous people are looking into the possible therapeutic effects of Spirulina.
    Many pre-clinical studies and a few clinical studies suggest several therapeutic effects ranging from reduction of cholesterol and cancer to enhancing the immune system, increasing intestinal lactobacilli, reducing nephrotoxicity by heavy metals and drugs and radiation protection."
    But what is it about this blue-green algae that gives it this radiation-protective capacity?
    Spirulina has a 16 percent phycocyanin content—a blue pigment that is attached to its photosynthetic membranes. Phycocyanin is also a nitrogen storage molecule. The nitrogen atoms can form a complex with heavy metals such as radioactive cesium and stronium, hence "cleansing" these radioactive metals from your body.
    Sweet Whey
    I interviewed Ori Hofmekler for an alternative viewpoint with regard to how you can decrease the risk to your health from radiation. Ori makes some compelling arguments for the use of sweet whey to help protect against absorbing radioactive minerals.
    One of the reasons for using sweet whey in a situation like this is because whey protein contains all the precursors that help your body produce glutathione, which is one of the best ways to detoxify these toxins.
    The other reason is that sweet whey is whole whey. It's the highest source of all minerals and trace minerals that exist in nature. It has every possible mineral and trace elements -- including organic sodium -- that your body needs in the most bioactive form.
    Other Herbs and Supplements
    In general, the following foods, herbs and supplements may also help support your overall health in the event of a nuclear accident:
    Ginseng Kelp and other seaweeds (high in natural iodine) Zeolites (to neutralize radiation) or bentonite clays
    Ashwaganda (an adaptogenic herb) Fulvic Acid Reishi mushrooms (strong immune support
    High-dose vitamin C Magnesium Selenium
    Coconut oil, which supports optimal thyroid health Astaxanthin (has some protective function against ionizing radiation) Chlorella (contains chlorophyll, which will increase your resistance to radiation)

    U.S. Law Allows Testing of Chemicals and Biological Agents on "Civilian Population"

    by David Reed
    February 14, 2011 at 10:26pm

    Please consider emailing a link to this page to everyone you know:
    http://urlbam.com/ha/M002Y

    To help raise awareness about this horrific law, please:

    (1) Become a fan of our Facebook page located here: Official Facebook Page

    (2) Send a link to this page to everyone you know. Here is a short-link directly to this page: http://urlbam.com/ha/M002Y


    To send either of the above links in an email, just right-click on the link and select either "Copy Shortcut" or "Copy Link Location". Then paste it directly into the body of your email message by right-clicking in the body and then clicking "Paste".

    U.S. Law Allows Testing of Chemicals and Biological Agents on "Civilian Population"

    Quote:
    PUBLIC LAW 105—85—NOV. 18, 1997: USE OF HUMAN SUBJECTS FOR TESTING OF CHEMICAL OR BIOLOGICAL AGENTS

    SEC. 1078. RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE OF HUMAN SUBJECTS FOR TESTING OF CHEMICAL OR BIOLOGICAL AGENTS.

    (a) PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES.—The Secretary of Defense may not conduct (directly or by contract)

    (1) any test or experiment involving the use of a chemical agent or biological agent on a civilian population; or
    (2) any other testing of a chemical agent or biological agent on human subjects.

    (b) EXCEPTIONS.—Subject to subsections (c), (d), and (e), the prohibition in subsection (a) does not apply to a test or experiment carried out for any of the following purposes:

    (1) Any peaceful purpose that is related to a medical, therapeutic, pharmaceutical, agricultural, industrial, or research activity.
    (2) Any purpose that is directly related to protection against toxic chemicals or biological weapons and agents.
    (3) Any law enforcement purpose, including any purpose related to riot control.


    So section (a) prohibits these cruel and inhumane chemical and biological tests on humans.

    Then section (b) says that the prohibitions in section (a) do not apply to tests carried out for virtually any purpose. So section (b) completely negates the prohibitions of section (a).

    In Other Words:
    The U.S. government can test chemicals and biological agents on humans for nearly any purpose they desire.

    The Following Should Also Be Noted
    The term "biological agent" as stated above in (a)(1) is defined in (e) as follows:

    Quote:
    (e) BIOLOGICAL AGENT DEFINED.—In this section, the term
    ‘‘biological agent’’ means any micro-organism (including bacteria,
    viruses, fungi, rickettsiac, or protozoa), pathogen, or infectious substance,
    and any naturally occurring, bioengineered, or synthesized
    component of any such micro-organism, pathogen, or infectious substance
    ,
    whatever its origin or method of production, that is capable
    of causing

    (1) death, disease, or other biological malfunction in a
    human, an animal, a plant, or another living organism;
    (2) deterioration of food, water, equipment, supplies, or
    materials of any kind
    ; or
    (3) deleterious alteration of the environment.


    In Other Words:
    The U.S. government can test chemicals and biological agents on humans that cause death, biological malfunction, and deleterious alteration of the environment. The term "deleterious alteration of the environment" brings chemtrails to mind.

    Read about actual human chemical testing programs currently in operation: http://herballure.com/chemtrails

    Read the full text of this law here. Page 287 contains the above excerpt.: Public Law 105-85

    Informed Consent

    Some argue that none of this activity can be conducted without "informed consent", as stated in section (c), which reads:

    Quote:
    (c) INFORMED CONSENT REQUIRED.—The Secretary of Defense
    may conduct a test or experiment described in subsection (b) only if informed consent to the testing was obtained from each human subject in advance of the testing on that subject.


    Although section (c) seems to provide some protection for us in that it requires us to be notified "in advance" if this "testing" is to take place, in reality, it does not provide any protection at all.

    Why not?

    Because you've already been "informed in advance" and you've already given your "consent".

    Because this "law" is publicly available for everyone to read, you have been "informed". Because you have not contested it (that's what the courts are for), you have provided your "consent".

    This law is part of a contract between you and the government. When the terms of a contract are known and uncontested, it's called "acquiescence". Acquiescence essentially means that both parties are in agreement.

    Acquiesce: "submit or comply silently or without protest"

    So, when this law was published, you were "informed". Because you have not challenged it in court, you have "consented". By your own inaction, you have said, "Sure, go ahead and poison me, even if it causes death. I have no problem with it."

    Because this contract meets the judicial requirements of "remedy" and "recourse", it is legally binding.

    Judges like to say: "Ignorance of the law is no excuse". They say this because you are expected to know all of the "law" because it is publicly available for you to read (despite the fact that this is humanly impossible).

    So, in reality, section (c) is legally useless. It does not provide any additional protection, it only "seems" to. Section (c)'s only purpose for being included in this law is deception, nothing more.

    Deception

    Section (c) of this "law" is very deceptive because most people don't understand the concepts of acquiescence in contract law, therefore, people mistakenly conclude that this "testing" will never happen to them unless they are informed about it.

    The powers-that-be play upon public ignorance by inducing people into having a false sense of security. As a result, the public believes this activity could not be occurring because they believe that they would have personally heard about it. This false belief then provides insurance that this law will never be contested in court, and as long as this law remains uncontested, chemtrail spraying will continue unhindered.

    The final result is that this craftily-written law has done its job. It has enabled chemtrail spraying to continue without being contested in court. Additionally, this law continually provides legal protection for those doing the spraying. After all, by your inaction you have given them your permission.

    When you consider the incredibly dark nature of this deception and when you consider the fact that this law gives your public servants the self-appointed power to kill you, you should then consider what kind of people are running your country, or the world for that matter.

    The NutriSmart system would put RFIDs into your food for enhanced information



    May 31, 2011 by Katie Gatto
    9 comments

    (PhysOrg.com) -- RFID, short for Radio Frequency ID, tags have found their way into a wide variety of applications. These pellets, which are often roughly the same size as a grain of rice, can help us to be reunited with our lost pets, keep towels inside the hotel, and keep big box stores shipping the right boxes to the right places at the right time.

    In time you may even find them inside your own stomach. At least they will be there if Hannes Harms has anything to say about it. Mr. Harms, who is currently a design engineering student at the Royal College of Art in London, has designed the NutriSmart system. The system is based on edible RFID tags that will tell you more about your food then you ever wanted to know.

    Video at the link: http://vimeo.com/24332950

    The system would be able to not only give you complete nutritional data on the food that you are about to consume, but able to tell you the entire supply chain behind everything that you are putting into your mouth. While this could be good news for diabetics, people with serious food allergies, and vegans, it also has applications outside of the medical.

    A properly equipped refrigerator would be able to give the user a look at everything that the box contains, and when it is going to go bad.

    The system can also be paired with a "Smart plate", which would allow the embedded reader in the dish to tell you about the caloric and nutrition information about what you are eating, as well as how many miles it has come to be on your plate. The data can then be sent to your cell phone, via a Bluetooth connection.

    No word yet about what happens to the tags when you are finished with them.

    Extreme Couponing: Desperate Economic Times Call For Desperate Measures

    Even in the midst of a horrific economic decline, there are tools that all of us can use to make the most of our limited resources. This includes doing some things that many of us never imagined that we would do. A couple of months ago I never would have imagined that I would be doing an article on coupons. But in these desperate economic times you have to look for any economic edge that you can get. Did you know that it is possible to get $500 worth of groceries for less than 10 dollars? I didn't know that either until I started watching a show called "Extreme Couponing" on cable television. I was amazed as I watched person after person get over 95 percent off on their groceries. Personally, I have always thought that clipping coupons was a waste of time. Sure, you might save a few bucks, but I really didn't think it was worth the time or the effort. Well, my opinion has changed. There are a growing number of people out there that are using coupons to provide all of the groceries that their families need almost for free. In an economic environment where incomes are going down but food prices continue to go up, "extreme couponing" is a financial weapon that virtually anyone can use.
    Yes, not everyone can take it to the extent that many of these "extreme couponers" do. There are some women that spend 40, 50 or even 60 hours a week on their couponing. Most people cannot afford to do that.
    But even if you just spend a couple of hours a week you can still save significant money. At a time when many family budgets are tighter than ever, saving 50 or 100 bucks at the grocery store can mean a world of difference.
    Not only that, but "extreme couponing" is a great way to build up your stockpile of emergency food. Everyone should have enough food in their homes to feed their families for at least a year. Unfortunately, many people don't have that kind of money. That is where "extreme couponing" comes in.
    If you are willing to put a little hard work in, you can build a stockpile of emergency food for pennies on the dollar.
    Extreme couponing is not complicated and thanks to the new TLC show it is becoming extremely popular. The following is how a recent article on MSNBC describes these "extreme couponers"....
    Hard-core couponers are in it to win it — for free, if at all humanly possible. They plot their grocery-store trips with the precision of military commanders. They load up three or four shopping carts at a time. They test the mettle — and the congeniality — of cashiers by having them tally dozens of discounts on their behalf.
    And what do they get in exchange? Hundreds of dollars’ worth of merchandise for as little as $5 to $10, the applause of onlookers — and a surge of adrenaline that can be downright addicting.

    If you have never seen the show, you should check it out at least once. The following is a very brief preview of "Extreme Couponing"....

    In Extreme Couponing, meet the everyday people who save hundreds of dollars in a single trip to the store. Series premiere Wed, April 6 at 9|8c only on TLC! http://www.tlc.com/extremecouponing/#mkcpgn=yttlc1


    Yes, people are actually doing this. In fact, some of my readers are actually doing this.
    On a recent article entitled "Inflation 2011: Honey – They Shrunk Our Paychecks" one of my regular readers named Maria shared that her and her circle of friends have adopted extreme couponing as a way to fight back against the bad economy....
    In the last six months, I have seen a complete attitude adjustment in many of our friends and family. As a result, a resource sharing group has formed amongst us. We share work, ideas and tips on everything from budgeting to gardening. All of us have curtailed the “luxuries” like gym memberships, expensive clothing, latte’s and mochas from those expensive little stops on the way to work, dining at restaurants, first run movies at the theater, and a myriad of other little things.
    Our latest discovery is the world of couponing. Anyone interested in dramatically cutting their household and grocery expenses should take a serious look at TheKrazyCouponLady.com and read their book, Pick Another Checkout Lane, Honey. I never understood how couponing could make a difference until I read this book. Our group now looks at coupons almost as a tax free source of income, because it is saving us hundreds of dollars a month…no exaggeration.
    I admit, I am not as diligent as the others about using coupons, but even with my minimal efforts I saved 60% on my meat purchases last month. That was huge for my family of 6. Our home is out in the country near a rural community, and the only grocery store in town is Safeway. I never shopped there before, because it was too expensive. I drove into the big city once every three months to do our grocery shopping at the “discount” stores. Now, using coupons on sale items, I can shop at the local Safeway and save more money on food and gas.
    Sadly, this extreme couponing phenomenon will not be around forever. As thousands more pile on to the bandwagon, it is inevitable that food producers and retailers will start changing the rules. So take advantage of extreme couponing while you can.
    Look, I never imagined that I would be recommending that people should start clipping coupons. But when any of us are presented with solid evidence that we are wrong about something, we need to be willing to change.
    Personally, I am not an expert on coupons.
    Thankfully, there are some people out there that are, and they have shared their knowledge for free on the Internet. The following are some of the best extreme couponing sites around if you are interested in learning more....
    *The Krazy Coupon Lady
    *Tips From A Mom Of 3
    *Coupon Geek
    *Saving With Shellie
    *Couponing 101
    *Jill Cataldo
    *My Frugal Adventures
    *How To Shop For Free With Kathy Spencer
    *Clippin' With Carie
    *Money Saving Mom
    People are always urging me to write more about solutions. Well, extreme couponing is a solution. A lot of us men might not like the idea of "extreme couponing" because it may not seem like a very "manly" thing to do, but the truth is that it works. In these desperate economic times, you have got to do what you have got to do. Today, one out of every four American children is on food stamps. An increasing number of children are falling into poverty. If it takes clipping coupons in order to survive, then that is just what we are going to have to do.
    As mentioned above, all of this exposure on television is going to mean that "extreme couponing" is not going to be around forever. When too many people start jumping on a boat it is inevitable that it is going to sink.
    But while this tool still exists, why not use it?
    In particular, this is a great way to build up your emergency food stockpile for a fraction of the cost.

    So what do all of you think about extreme couponing? Do you think it is a good tool? Do you have other tools that you would suggest for saving money in this tough economy? Feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts below....
