I just got back from Wal-Mart, and they are having a great deal on snowbibs and coats. We're talking $3.50 or $3.75 for the snowsuits (the cashier thought it was weird that they were ringing up different prices, but I'm not going to complain when the original price was $15.00.) There were a variety of coats for $13.00 each. So if you want to put some clothes away for the future, or just replace something now, you might want to check out your local Wal-Mart and see if it is having the same deals. The one near us has this sale for today, tomorrow, and Sunday, but at these prices, don't know how long they'll last, or how long you will be able to find the sizes you want/need. I know, that sounds like a commercial, but hey, like I've said before, if someone gives me a good deal, I don't mind giving them a little free advertising... :)
Thing is, I might not have noticed this had it not been for a cashier who mentioned to me earlier this week that the snowbibs that we could see against the wall in the distance were going on sale today for $3.50. They were closer to the exit that I don't frequently use, so I may have missed out entirely. Then, this morning, I thought, "Wow, it's Friday already!" Then later I thought, "Wow, I should have already blogged about this!" So now I have, and it's only Friday morning, so hopefully that will be enough time for everyone. Thanks, friendly cashier, for the great customer service! If you want to take advantage of the sale, I hope it's happening near you--never hurts to call if you're not sure.....

That is a great deal and at that price one should get several pair to possible hand out in an emergency or collapse scenario. My only thought has been lately has been quality over cost ratio. I had bought some winter boots 2 months back for my daughter from a discount chain and they lasted only 2 months. Didn't make the same mistake last week when I bought new ones. Be cautious for your own family in the quality you purchase is my new creed. In a crisis situation the last thing I want is for my family to suffer for my price driving purchases.
Anonymous--You make an excellent point--it won't matter how much it cost if it doesn't last very long, and I've made that mistake both ways. I have bought cheap products that didn't last half as long as expected, and also a really expensive pair of shoes (not mine) that I thought would last and ended up needing replacing within a few months. Disappointing at best in a good situation, but in a crisis it would potentially cause another emergency. Thanks so much for your comment--it's an important reminder!
