Just thought some of you hard-core preppers would like to know that Preparedness Pro has extended a 14 day Food Challenge through the month of August. You need to go 14 days without going to the store to get groceries and just live off of what you already have on hand. Over a dozen prizes are being given out based on a drawing of those who blog about their experiences during the challenge. Any 14 days in a row in August will do. And yes, you can barter with your neighbors or have communal meals. Can you take the challenge? More importantly, can you give up your coupon shopping addiction for that long?

The prizes are great items for emergency preparedness! If you're up for it, go on over to Preparedness Pro and enter. Just do a search on Preparedness Pro Food Challenge. You'll get right to it. Good luck!
