SurvivalBlog reader Mary R. forwarded us this odd notice from the US
Treasury: Annual
Purchase Limit For Savings Bonds Set at $5,000. Could the Treasury have

I heard from Bruce at Best
Prices Storable Foods that from now until Dec.
31, 2007, they are offering 20% off all the Mountain House
freeze-dried foods they have in stock. Please check their web site for availability.
On the phone, mention the
End-of-Year
special. With their shopping cart, use Coupon Code: MH20off (meaning "Mountain
twenty percent off".) Note that this sale price lasts only until December
31, there is no free shipping offered for these sale items, and the sale
is limited to just what they have on hand.
