Black Friday deals are great, but the last place you’ll find me this time of year is in a store full of morons rushing to pick up a $3 toaster. With that being said, I’m still always on the look out for good Christmas time deals.

A Bug Out Bag allows you quickly grab what you need should you be forced to evacuate during a disaster.

I have seen many examples of fire starters, but I wanted to try and make one that was made out of only primitive materials. I wanted to make sure that it was small and waterproof.

Here is what I did . . . . Supplies: 1. Bees wax melted in a double boiler 2.

How to Make Homemade Fire Starters

And as far as saving money goes, this looks like the way to go. Homemade laundry detergent is cheap to make (it costs about 3 cents a load) and works really well. My mom warned me that it doesn't make suds or bubbles and some people thinks that means their clothes aren't clean.
