A Deep Freezer & Bargain Generator
Two no-brainer money savers whether things "hit the fan" or not.
“Dig Your Well Before You’re Thirsty”:
When former government insiders who advised the CIA, the Pentagon, and more, are sounding the alarm today for every American to stock up on food and other essentials… it might be a great idea to add a second freezer in you garage. It's a great way to profit from sales and bargains in bulk, and it may just become essential. Use freezers in excellent shape can be found on craigslist and FB marketplace for a few hundred bucks or sometimes MUCH less.
Don't forget to buy a generator too as power supply interruptions are expected to increase regardless. The model below is my favorite pick currently. Don't forget to have an electrician install a transfer switch (or do it yourself if qualified) into your main breaker box to be ready so you don’t send a deadly shock downline to a repair man when you switch your generator on!
For around $800 (less if you sign up for their Harbor Freight 2-yr membership for around $40), this baby will run your whole house (including well pump, electric clothes dryer etc), has an easy key start, and is a bargain compared to spending 14-18 k for a generac-type install. You'll have to switch it on though rather than have it kick on automatically when a power outage occurs. Don’t forget to pick up the wheel kit and battery unless you're fine with the very easy pull start option. You also need to have a heavy duty power chord to run from generator to your breaker panel -usually in your basement, or ideally an exterior plug on the wall outside etc that the electrician added when installing your transfer switch has

Trust me, there is no feeling like fixing everything with a simple key turn while the rest of your street goes dark. You’ll bask in hero status for a few days from a grateful, unstressed spouse and kids, and you neighbors will forever be in your debt for letting you run power from the extra receptacle on this generator.

BOTH are true.
