In an uncertain world, few things are more comforting than knowing you and your loved ones are prepared for the future. Are you prepared for an emergency? This subject has really hit home to me as I’ve watched the recent tragedies of the Japan earthquake and the devastating tornados in Alabama. Nothing is more important to me than my family’s safety in a catestrophic event.  Our next sponsor/giveaway comes at PERFECT timing as this subject is very fresh on our minds. While Shelf Reliance has amazing food storage {oh my gosh, have you tried it?}, the main reason for this post is sharing their essential 48 hour survival kit. Simply put, every home should have one.

Due to demand for this kit, Shelf Reliance has put this Emergency Survival Kit on sale at their lowest price ever for the next few weeks. At over 50% off, now is the time to act. I know this sounds silly, but I asked my parents for this as a birthday gift. {I know, I know, kinda boring.}

Disaster usually strikes suddenly and unannounced, allowing little or no time to prepare. If you have been waiting for a great deal, don’t put it off. Their 50% off special runs through the end of the month. They are having huge orders for this product, and it is currently in stock, but if your kit gets put on backorder, don’t fret. You’ll have it within 4 weeks.
