ABC4 TV Appearance: How to Compile a 72-Hour Kit on a Budget

September 2, 2013 by Lisa Park + 7 Comments

I had the opportunity to be on ABC4 this morning! It’s been enjoyable to be behind the set and meet the hosts, anchors, and producers of ABC4 News. They are all so great to work with. Prior to my segment, How to Compile a 72-Hour Kit on a Budget, I had the opportunity to speak with Troy, a host of Good Things Utah. He was so nice to talk with, plus it’s fun to hear his Australian accent.

And I want to give a HUGE thank you to my awesome husband (also my #1 fan) who helped me carry the boxes, lay out the items, take photos, and give me a pep talk so I wasn’t as nervous.

You can see the TV segment How to Compile a 72-Hour Kit on a Budget by going to the ABC4 website or by clicking on the picture below. And for those of you who want more details, because I felt like the segment was so fast, and I didn’t have a chance to tell you everything I wanted, head over to my Building a 72-Hour Kit on a Budget post.

If food allergies and special diets are causing yo If food allergies and special diets are causing your food budget to really increase, below are 6 tips to help navigate food allergies on a budget.  1. Meal plan and cook from home
Focus on making a list of your family's favorite easy meals and plan your meals based on those. Keep it simple and make it a priority to eat at home.  2. Limit expensive replacements
While there is an abundance of options for substitutes to common food allergies, the expensive replacements increase the amount of money you spend on groceries. Use them sparingly, buy them on sale, or look for ways to buy them in bulk.  3. Price shop
Track the cost of items at multiple stores and online retailers to find the best price, then "stock up" on the items you need.  4. Find out what works for you and stick to it
Narrow down what staple foods you need and like so you don't spend a lot of money experimenting on food that doesn't work for your family.  5. Focus on the inexpensive items you can eat
Make a list of foods you can eat instead of constantly looking for alternatives of foods you can't eat. Foods that might fit in your meal plan and that are inexpensive are oats, potatoes, rice, fruit, vegetables, applesauce, seeds, and legumes.  6. Shop at cheaper stores
Most grocery stores carry specialty foods, so don't just shop at expensive specialty stores like Whole Foods.  #foodallergies #grocerybudgettips #groceryshoppingtips #howtogroceryshop #foodbudget #foodallergybudget
