Hi Patara. To make soap so further, I have saved my foam soap bottles that people gave my as Christmas gifts. Like the ones from Bath and Body Works. I buy a LARGE bottle of liquid hand soap to make foaming soap. Just put about an inch of liquid hand soap in the bottle and add water. Don't shake it to mix it, just turn the bottle a couple of time. Instant foaming hand soap for a fraction of the cost. I've had a large bottle of the liquid hand soap to last me two years doing this.
I do the same thing. I usually use Dawn, especially for the one in my kitchen. It’s perfect for greasy/oily hands or when you need to wash just one dish, or clean a greasy sink.
Thank you! I live in the foothills and am fortunate to live between two rural Dollar General stores. I'll pick up a few of your suggestion today at each and have two coupons for Saturday.
Also your tips are great for the RV. Never heard of bleach tablets perfect for RV. Newbie to your channel and love it.
@@susieramick7202 welcome to the family ❤
@@susieramick7202 you
I've been doing the same since lockdown.
Also in the $1 aisle- regular size alcohol, Hydrogen peroxide, boxed gauze bandages, Epsom salts, mouse traps, tiny sewing kit, 4 pack fat emergency candles, etc…. Thank you, Patara, for all you do!!! Love your channel so much! 🥰
@@P2Zip You’re so welcome! I love the $1 aisle. I hit that aisle first. Such a huge selection to choose from! You just have to go slow and poke around 😂😊
THANK YOU PATARA!
I just got the same thing! We don't have any $ store but twice a year dollar daze at the grocery. I wish we had a s$ store.
Cut your SOS type soap pads in halves or fourths, they're gonna rust anyway, so only use 1/4, and if it rusts, you only throw away a 1/4 instead of whole.
If you put your steel wool pads on a dry sponge after you use it, they will dry out and not rust, or put it in a plastic bag in the freezer, then you will be able to use them all the way to the end.
I cut them all the time. It is rare that I have a pan large enough to warrant an entire pad.
Exactly. I used to put in the freezer, but read similar comment about a year ago. Made sense. Been doing this ever since.
@Sonigran, yep, I started cutting my SOS pads up years ago.
If you can get a pack of emergency candles, also get a can of Crisco or something similar. Stick your emergency candle in the middle of your can of “Crisco” and you can get many, many hours of light and heat from the one candle!
Girl, I plan on making cookies during the apocalypse 😂 that’s what my oats and cocoa are for 😊
I plan to make cookies too. I am a little worried the smell will drift over the neighborhood and I will have neighbor's lining up for cookies.😜 In reality you would need a moral booster and cookies would do the trick.
What's an apocalypse without cookies?!! 🍪
@@alicerafferty9595 yes! Our moods are not going to be positive and a little morale booster will be needed here and again!
@@robinguertin574 a
@@beckykeen5079 Especially if you have Children in your family. Though who doesn't like a cookie with a cup of coffee?
If you add to a bottle of dish washing liquid: a tablespoon of salt and a half glass of vinegar and mix it real well; it'll last twice as long and in a pinch; you have a replacement multi surface cleaner. Blessings to you all from South Africa.
NEVER HEARD OF THAT EITHER... I'M ON IT...RIGHT NOW THX FOR A GREAT IDEA👍
@@kathleenstahl3315 thanks for that great idea.
Great tip! Thank you!
Love this idea. I use vinegar and essential oils to make my fabric softener I mix it in a big bowl and put cut up magic eraser sponges and then just take one out and add it to the dryer🌞
@@tawanajackson5545 Thank you. That's an AwEsOmE idee too!Blessings to you.
I go twice a month to DG and stock up on the $1 deals. It all adds up quickly and it won't be long before there won't be anything for $1
You’re right! I need to head up there and do some stocking up before the $1 deals are gone or just empty shelves
Many of the same things that are $1 at DG , are $1.25 a DT . So I get all I can for the $1.00.
Used tea tree added to shampoo for my kids after they got head lice once. We caught it early. However, my kids are autistic and I wasn't about to treat them again if i could help it. It worked. Neither got head lice again.
Good to know!!!
I can relate all 3 of mine are on the spectrum and they got lice a few yrs ago from some kids at a campground. Thankfully caught it very early
Yes do the same for my Kiddos works a treat, or even if you add a few drops to your daughters detangler spray bottle works .
Suave rosemary mint shampoo is safe to use daily and it repells lice
We would suggest to our kids parents to try oil ie olive or cheaper oIl and do a diluted vinegar rinse. Oil will smother the live ones and vinegar will dry out the eggs/nits.
Don’t forget to have a tote for the kids. Coloring books and crayons, playing cards, board games, bubble soap etc.
Fun things for the kids to do is so important! ❤❤❤
Great idea
I keep unopened toys from fast food & use in bug out/celler backpacks or summer lake buckets for sand toys. If it gets left behind oh well.
Very very important to get kids stuff
@@heatherlane5130 Reuse their school backpacks from last year so it is their size and weight.
The spray bottles alone are worth a dollar and come in handy once you’ve used up the product.
just love your videos , just wanted to let you know that the Dollar general will be having a great clearance sale this weekend may 12 to 14th , everything will be an extra 50 % off already clearance items, have a Blessed Day
Thank you for sharing
For insect stings or other irritations PLANTAIN!
Reach down in the yard, get a leaf/blade, chew it up lightly and put on sting, even wasp, and within just a couple minutes the sting us gone. It also draws out so most of the redness with it as well. 🙋♀️✌️
❤️
It works on poison ivy too
@@gigihughes203 hey thanks. Also...have an epi pen as I am allergic.
Works great for sunburn too! Definitely grossed out my kid doing it last year. But this year, I've already started a salve! Got my plantain dried and in olive oil right now!
You can also use meat tenderize or wet chewing tobacco
Those Yardley wash clothes are fabulous. I bought 1 couple weeks ago to try and loved them. Huge and doesn't leave a sticky residue. I went back last weekend and bought 8 more for my inventory...💗
Oh good! I'd never seen them! Great news! Thank you!
Thank you for the review! They are on my list.
Thanks for the info.
Adding them to my list too thanks
Trader Joe's has some nice ones that are all natural (no toxins/synthetic fragrance) and a bigger package - for cheap. I get them for the camper.
Great selections. Good ideas. When the disposal wash cloths are used, let them dry and use for fire starting.
Patara you inspired me today. I watched your video and went to the Dollar General about 1/2 mile from my house. I hate to say this but I never knew they had a $1 section. I found some things you had picked up but found some other things. I got 100 safety pins for $1. I have not used one in a while but you never know when you will need one in a pinch. Thank you for all you do! God Bless!
Clothespins too!!
I picked up a pack of safety pins a while back. I use them for different task and only had three left. When I wash my duvet and cover the safety pins hold the corners in place without having to unzip and realign the corners. They come in handy for many things.❤
@@chrisd8795😲 brilliant! Doing the corners every time is my least favorite thing ever!!
So just a gentle word from a Registered Dental Hygienist… try to only use a soft toothbrush if possible not medium. You can actually damage the enamel of your teeth and cause erosion of the gum tissue🤗
For those who worry about expiration dates on medications Don't worry! My doctor worked with drug trials and said that they have tested medications that were 10 years past the expired date and they are effective.
Just not tetracycline!! That goes toxic when expired.
Aspirin goes toxic, but those are the only 2 meds I believe that aren't safe. Otherwise you may just have less effectiveness.
do not use tetracycline past date. it deteriorates accordingto phsarmacist
@@robinguertin574 Even that is controversial because there are doctors in these drug trials that have differing opinions.
Glad you mentioned Dawn dish detergent. They have definitely increased the water content. Back when I made all types of soaps homemade,I commented that I wouldn’t bother with dish soap because Dawn could not be beat.
I had a Sam’s delivery not long ago. Saw a type of “heavy duty pots and pans” Dawn. So I ordered it. It reminds me of that CHEAP watery stuff I used to buy because I was newly married and couldn’t afford anything else. So,like you,I am going back to the cheaper stuff.
The platinum dawn is like the old dawn. I always pick up the Dawn when on sale at Sam’s to back up, glad I did. The plain dawn now doesn’t work like the old one
The thicker and darker it is more like the old dawn. Noticed it is more watery.
That's strange. I haven't seen that yet.
Yeah they cheapen the product
I know... I am obsessed with the $1 aisle from DG. Wish we could add photos in these comments so I can show you my collection, lol.
I recently bought seeds from Dollar Tree-4 for a dollar-and am having great results!
A clever hack that I've learned. If you take those scrubbers (the ones that have the brillo on one side and sponge on the other) (usually they are green and yellow)
Cut them in half. You double the longevity of them and double your product. They also become a smaller size then to better handle and get into smaller spaces or corners when cleaning.
Yes!!!! I do this all the time! 👍
To keep your wash cloths from drying out , you can vacuum seal the whole pkg. I did this to several packages.
Great idea! I live in the desert and some of mine dried out. I did rewet them and use them, but now I'll seal them!
My mother uses Tea Tree oil for EVERYTHING..... skin problem - tea tree oil....sore knee - rub some tea tree oil on it......nail looking a little funky- soak it in tea tree oil....LOL It works but it is like the Windex in the Movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding in my family..... It's either tea tree oil or castor oil.....for everything...LOL
"Spray some Windex on it!" 🤣
In my family, we put Mercurochrome on everything in the 70s & 80s. Yikes!
Just returned from my DG after you inspired me! If nothing else, stock your camper with this stuff! The smaller sizes on some items are perfect! If you are fortunate enough to have a camper, and think like I do, it could be your home/escape in the future, so why not have it fully stocked?
You will need an alarm to protect your supplies,people will still your food
I just bought 6 of the triple antibiotic ointment and about 10 tubes of toothpaste. Going again today to stock up more 🎉 thank you for your videos!!
Full strength Tea Tree Oil is a must, been using it for so many things for years! I'm with you about scissors, I keep buying them and they keep disappearing 😮
Right! Where do they go? Caught my daughter using my HIDDEN sewing scissors to cut popsicle sticks! Ugh.
Just like socks and Tupperware . 😂😂
I love scissors - and found a whole box of them Mom had!! Yay!
It has been years but when I was a dental sterilization tech, they used the antibiotic ointment in the mouth -it is sooooo handy anywhere.
My mom used baking soda to brush her teeth 5hen used peroxide to swish/rinse . I've never never done that but it seemed to work for her all through her 79 years before cancer took her home
One thing I have in my preps is Gatorade in the powder form. We don't use it often, but when stomach bugs hit our home or a sickness it helps with keeping hydrated and keeping our electrolytes up.
PLEASE BE AWARE Dollar General just had a huge recall on some of their medications as they weren't stored properly as far as temperature goes.
Cornbread and beans 🎉
Always!
@@appalachiashomesteadwithpatara Thanks for all the eye doctor reminders! I got it DONE!😍
I don’t particularly like the Irish spring smell but….if we come to the place where that’s all I have, I will LOVE it!
I used Irish spring hung on young fruit trees, deer don't like strong smells
And, it will work like mothballs in a closet too!
Thanks Patara! I use the dollar aisle a lot at Dollar General! Your dollar aisle looks better stocked than mine!
Better than mine too, and we have 5 Dollar Generals within 10 miles of us.
Nice haul. I'm hoping folks are listening!
Thanks for all that you do to empower us to be prepared and stay strong ❤
The Clorox dish soap is as thick as molasses in the winter and one or two drops cleans a sink full of dishes!
I saw the small ones at DG but if you are near an Ollie's they have the big ones for around 1.50.
Always check DG's clearance area too. THAT makes the Sat $5 coupon an even BETTER deal!
@Stephanie Varnes, where do ya'll get the Saturday $5.00 coupon???
@1blondidea, the coupon is on your DG receipt when you purchase something in the prior 6 days to any Sat.
That Saturday coupon is great!! They also do a lot of Gain Soap coupons so I stocked up with those and got about a year’s worth of cleaning supplies for a fraction of what I would have paid at Walmart. Because you get 5.00 off 30., then 5.00 off 25 for being Saturday, then the normal coupons off each item. I was bringing home 30-35 dollars of gain for 9.00 each weekend. There are coupon queens on media that will tell you exactly what to buy on Saturday to get the most for your money!!
Love Gain!
I stack them too. Got the gain products for a great prices. Love coupons
I just did the Gain deals last Saturday too
I’ll be making chocolate chip cookies in an apocalypse. 😅
Thank you for sharing those are some great items.
❤
Salon Selectives was the stuff, back in the day. As i recall, if i recall correctly, smelled great to.
If one thing covid taught me,is not to hoard, but to be prepared for just in case. That was before i started watching prepping channels as well, so I'm thankful.
I Appreciate and I Love You/Yall ❤
I think James would have many things wrong with smelling a little bit Irish. What you couldn't find Scottish Springs? 😂 ❤❤❤ love you two! Thank you for the videos!
Also when you see dryer sheets in the dollar section stock up. I use them as a bug repellent, just fold one up and put it in a pocket. It repels mosquitoes, chiggers you name it. I use one everyday I'm in the garden or do yard work and never get one bite. Everybody I've told does it and no bites.
Great idea. Thanks for the tip
Thank you for that great tip, dryer sheets on my list.
Wow! Didn't know that! Will give it a try for sure!!
Patara, I want to say thank you to all the wonderful people who prayed for me.
I just hit up dollar general and dollar tree and found quite a bit of preps! ✅
Now I have a need to go to Dollar General. LOL
Thank you! Didn’t realize Dollar General had such variety for $1. :)
Love those wash cloths.. they're perfect after a long day of gardening to freshen up quickly before hubs gets home and dinner goes on the table.
Hi Patara! Thanks for all you do! Thank you for speaking the truth and common sense, it is so refreshing!!!!!!!
Patara, that looks like a small patch of poison ivy on your arm.
I think the last video you were pulling weeds. You might have come across some.
I’ve had a small place on my wrist that looked just like that.
Girl...when you were talking about alternative uses for q tips and said even if you don't use them to clean your ears you can use them to clean your pew pews...it took me a sec to process bc I was thinking pew pew as in stinking, as in stinking crevices below the belt😂 Like dear Lord we gonna grab a handful of qtips to wipe in the toilet paper apocalypse! 😂
😂
Patara, you’re such blessing and joy! Thank you for being you.
The sinus pain pills are great for dental pain as well, better than regular pain relievers.
And for anyone stocking up on lice products, be sure to pick up a metal flea comb, available in the pet sections of stores. Those plastic combs that come with the lice shampoo are flimsy and break easily. Also, in case of lice, have plastic contractor bags to wrap up and seal mattresses and non-washable pillows, tea tree or lavender oil to wash bedding with, a shower cap and large jar of cheap mayonnaise. After washing the hair with lice shampoo, coat scalp and hair thickly with mayonnaise, cover with shower cap and leave on as long as possible, at least overnight. Next morning, comb through hair with metal flea comb, then wash again with lice shampoo.
The mayonnaise helps smother adult lice and loosens the eggs attached to hair strands and scalp. Keep mattresses and non-washable bedding sealed up at least 2 weeks, to make sure all lice and eggs are smothered and no longer alive.
Also consider researching powder bleach in the form of pool shock reconstituted.
I recently tried the Oxy Ultra dish soap from that brand as it was in my stash and I am very impressed. It is closer to the 'old' Dawn in terms of cleaning power than any other I have tried.I put some in a $ Tree spray bottle and water it down quite a bit to stretch it and it works great. I'm sold!
Goodmorning Sunshine !😁🌞❤
Patara, you have beautiful skin! Keep wearing the pretty colored t-shirts because colors of flowers make people smile even in these gloomy days.😃
Everyone had differentancestor. I was lucky , my grand parents were north men and women. My great granma was a heathen (healer) I was lucky to learn some about meds and salves. pine pitch makes a stronger antiseptic than you can buy,
Dawn changed their formula 😢 I’ve been buying the power wash spray because it works on everything - like it’s insane how good it is.
Its always a good day when I can have my coffee and Patara... Love the prepping ideas and love y'all...
No apocalypse cookies? 🤣🤣🤣 you're so funny Patara!! I love these kinds of videos!! Thank you for sharing your haul!! ❤
I've been going back and watching your really old videos. They're great! I'd recommend watching them to any new viewers. A lot more homesteading videos than some of the newer one's.
I did this yesterday at our local DG but on a smaller scale and we have an entire isle of $1 items, I've never seen this before here. I believe most stores will do this eventually with small cheap items to clear them out before all shiznit breaks loose and they are overrun by looters. Just my opinion. Plus we are being cutoff by Ch Ch ina... we are preparing for lights out and long term food now.
My friends are still making fun of me for prepping.. I still keep going.. thank you for so many suggestions of alternative uses for things!
They'll be knocking on your door soon enough...apologizing and begging!
Patara I always stop at $ General especially now that $Tree has gone up in price. Always get good deals 💕
DG has an app for coupons, & there are channels on YT that go over the DG penny sales, too. I haven't been to DG for a long time! Looks like I need to carry myself up there & find some deals!
Thank you! I didn’t know there was an app or RUclipsrs out there on this. There’s a YT video for practically everything. Thank you😉
I love the dollar section at our local Dollar Store!! Great prep items!
Thanks Patara. Just to save someone some grief, I bought the potting soil from Dollar General, it was all moldy wood chips ☹️
Patera! I save the heavy duty netted bags that produce comes in and use them for dish scrubbies. They're awesome and they rinse clean without catching scrambled eggs and meat gunk. Incidentally, months ago my son went to all local DGs and bought out their pinto beans. Can't tell you how many pounds we currently have. Those bleach tabs are a must find for me! Thanks for the DG reminder. I need to get there today.
They are also great for pegging around fruit and vegetables to protect from grubs and grasshoppers.
Stocking up on those bleach tablets!
Yes
You inspired me! Just ran to the DG up the hill to grab 20 something items for 24 bucks! That’s 20+ more items added to my big ole preps tote.
Grab a bunch of $1 coffee filters. Tons of uses for those
A big half off clearance sale at the dollar general this weekend yall go get them preps!!
I do this once a month.. I focus on things that are 1.00 or less.. there are still so many things that are still available at a cheap price, so I continue to add to my stockpile each month with assorted items for my home!
Great video! 😊
Great video! Thank you and God bless you! Pray for us in Arizona
Wait til Saturdays to use your $5 off of $25 coupon :)
I mention that in the beginning. 😂
@@appalachiashomesteadwithpatara sorry…. Didn’t hear it. My little boy is home sick and he’s watching Rugrats on vol. 100 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Dont you need to go to DG once during the week so you get to he $5 coupon on your receipt to spend on Saturday?
@@barbarabell1171 I don’t believe so cuz I certainly don’t go very often at all and it always appears like clockwork in the app
@@karenrollins9578 oh...I don't have the app🙄
I love all your prepper videos . Thank you for all you do
You dollar section is much nicer than ours. It’s never stocked well because of lack of employees. The isles are always blocked with carts stacked with product they have no manpower to stock it. It’s pathetic. They say their hiring all the time yet no employees.
Yup! It is still a problem here as well, unfortunately!
Dollar general is bomb for 1 dollar section ! They are awesome !
@@paulawinstead5660 it shouldn't be difficult, they pop up like weeds!😅
Nice little haul there today Patara! 😀
Post Hurricanes Laura and Delta, with no electricity and no stores for months, having preps was a blessing, but having wet wipes and dry shampoo was beyond anything I can begin to describe. As for lice, any oil will kill them, but making sure you get the eggs, ALL of them is a pain. But, tea tree is antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and a disinfectant. It is so good for so many things.
Watching from Ireland love Ur tips keep the videos going ☘️
Haven't even watched it yet & I've already SHARED THIS on my Facebook Page ❤
LA Awesome is a great cleaner! The all purpose is fantastic! We even cleaned the outside of our camper with it. The pre wash works as good as Shout. The only thing I’ve found that didn’t work as good was the glass cleaner. But hey!😊
I pick up athletic foot cream as well. Works wonders on rashes from the heat on body
Ok Patara!
I didn’t know you had a little voice on you !
Let us hear you sing again 😂❤
I love the dollar aisle. Been using it for a long time.
I have three dollar general stores in my area and I hit them all at one time or other during the week.
Went to $ General earlier this week and stocked up from the $ section. The Dollar Tree sells the 50 ounce dish soap. Recently I asked an employee if it lathers up, she said yes, but she puts a splash of the Cloralen in the bottle and it works great. Tried it and she was right, so I’m stocking those 5o ounce bottles for $1.25. Going to try Family Dollar next to see if they have a $ section. ❤
So glad you did this video sister. I think we forget about a lot of these items when we're prepping and this really got my list going on some of the things that we have not gotten in a while.
Hey Patara, I just want to say thank you for always sharing such helpful tips and tricks on everyday life essentials. Hope you have a wonderful day. Be safe. ❤
You are so right about the Dawn dish soap. I was raised on it, only thing my mom brought. So disappointed in it lately. Seems very thin and not much for bubble making. I'm going out on a limb here and say it is no longer getting grease out of my way...
Heading to Dollar General❤
Tea tree oil is a gift from God, when it comes to shingles. External use only. It is also a good mosquito repellent. Or on bites. I love tea tree.
Our Dollar General is so dirty. Every time I go inside, I start sneezing because of my allergies. The dust is all over everything. When we go to Phoenix, I check out the Dollar General and shop there. I only go to Phoenix once a month but I do try to check them out.
Thank you for reminding me about DG! I had to pick up a couple things for work and got the $5 coupon. This weekend if I get all dollar items they will actually be 80cents!!
The Q tip plant was making covid swabs. They opened another one here in Maine to keep up with the demand. Covid is a thing of the past so no more need for 2 swab plants.
Thank you for the heads up with dollar general. I have a dollar general just 2 miles from me.
Hello Patara,here in N.C. you can take that $5.00 coupon to Food Lion and get $5.00 off your groceries.
Great haul! I need to check Dollar General out, didn’t know they still had a $1 section! I would love to see how you organize and keep track of all these items in your home and how you manage your inventory
Hello Patara. A good video of ideas to put in our pantries. Can't do better than $1 items. Be well and enjoy the Spring weather. 🥰
So look forward to watching your videos. Love recipes, and get lots of ideas from you. After watching you at Dollar General, I started going. Great deals. Bless you.
PATERA PLEASE READ: Fiskars brand scissors, yard tools, axes, and such come with a lifetime warranty!!!! All you have to do is contact them and send a picture if they break and it's replaced for free for life!!! Also, they hold up to more abuse, lol. I know this was about the dollar store, but all considered, they're cheaper in the long run.
