Health
Many people are concerned with "what to have." Things you might need in a disaster or long-term emergency.
Something you can have that won't cost a penny is good health. Nothing is free of course so you have to put some thought and actions into an effort toward good health.
FIRST RULE: STOP EATING FAST FOOD!
Take a good look at the caloric, fat and sodium content and if that doesn't scare you I'm not sure what will.
SECOND RULE: GET OUT AND WALK (AT LEAST)!
Many people (myself included) lack daily exercise due to routine demands on their time. I try to walk two miles in about 35 minutes five or six days a week. From what I understand the 80/20 rule is applicable. You get 80 percent of the benefit from the first 20 percent of the exercise you do. Weight lifting and many other exercise routines are great if you have the time -- if not, just walk.
HOMEMADE
Good bread (whole wheat, lots of fiber, not too much soy flower) prices are approaching $4 a loaf. I've seen it well over that in a few cities. We have a $50 bread machine that makes a good size loaf in about four hours (all by itself) after about 15 minutes of preparation. I have a food dehydrator and I dry various fruits. That saves many dollars over buying prepared/dried and it's probably better for me too.
