Five Dollar Friday

I've missed the last 2 Fridays because I have been so busy I didn't stop and look to see what could be had for a "Prepper Stash" on the cheap.  Today I'm going to report on one product and tell you about another.

A while back I bought a 4-pack of toilet paper at The Dollar Tree for...you guessed it... $1! I finally got around to putting it in the bathroom for usage to see what I thought.  Normally we buy Charmin Ultra-Strong.  That seems to be the best, at least in this household's opinion.  The Dollar Tree paper was noticeably stiff and thinner.  Still it did it's job.  The roll is smaller then the Charmin roll.  Quite frankly, by catching the Charmin on sale I think the cost is equivalent or pretty close.  So the Charmin will remain the choice for the stash.

Both Walgreen's and CVS have had AIM Tarter Control toothpaste for $1.  I tried a tube of that and it seems fine.  My normal brand is Aqua-Fresh, and I will probably stick with that but stock the Aim brand for the stash.

On a final note, The Ready Store has Bega Canned Processed Cheese on special today only.  This is similar to Velveeta in texture and spreadability with a mild cheddar taste. A case or two is a good addition to any stash!
