[Homesteadingfamily] Re: PREP HARD, PREP NOW

Hi Eunice:What you buy but don't use yourself, can be used to bartering
down the road for things that you DO need. I buy seeds for this, also. I
get some things that we don't normally eat (like Kohlrabi..what the heck
is that???) but I can barter those for something else. Can't pass up
good deals! LOL~deb
