Mark Koernke discussed practical preparedness and cost-reduction strategies for families facing economic hardship, particularly in Michigan with 12% unemployment. He covered budget shopping at discount retailers like Aldi's, food preservation techniques including jerky-making and canning, hunting and fishing for self-sufficiency, and greenhouse gardening with various vegetables. The show included detailed advice on fundraising methods for organizations (bottle drives, scrap metal recycling, seasonal sales), alternative energy solutions using solar panels and 12-volt systems, and warnings about mortgage modification and credit card scams. He also discussed food safety, the nutritional benefits of jerky, and featured product advertisements for military surplus and cooling fan products.
I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land is free. and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for once he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now his parents trampled each God-given right. We only watching tremble too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? Don, what is the date today? Well, confirming via the paper calculations and all of the other things and turning to the right, it looks like. Right. It was supposed to be rainy. I'm taking this. This is fantastic. Yeah, we were supposed to have rain Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, but gee, I think the rain has gone by. We're actually sunshine, warm, beautiful day. I spent the morning picking up stuff for the garden. A guy ran out of potting soil and picked that up this morning and a little bit of paint to touch up a few things here and there around the house. Then we went over to my favorite place to shop to get our non-perishable items for the next six months. Yeah, they love it when I come in. to make sure that we have everything on the shelf that we need at a very inexpensive price, even though it has gone up. They went to Aldi's. And for those of you that haven't Aldi's in your area, they're spread out throughout the Midwest. I'm not sure who owns that company, but they have always had the cheapest on canned goods across the board. They're building one in Ann Arbor now, which yes, the Price is a Heck out of me. Being in a very upscale area, being Ann Arbor. We have these multi-million dollar homes. Yeah, of course. Right now. Put your index finger to your nose and lift. Trust me, those folks will keep on driving by, but the folks in the projects down the street from where all these is going in, they'll be there in the roads. They are so cheap. Years ago we were paying like 25 to 29 cents a can on canned vegetables. Well today there were 49, but then it's been about 15 years since I first started going to Aldi's over in Jackson, which is where we went today. This one will open up until September. I'm plusy. I get down to that level where we're down below the six month level. We need to restart. I freak out. It's weird, but that's just me because I want to know. It's from the years, all the years we've been in printing. In printing, you have all the work you can possibly do spring through fall. You hit the winter months. the publishing of books just drops right off. So you spend about three months during the hardest time, you know, the cold of winter with hours cut back and all that fun stuff. Layoffs even at some point just need work. So I would always come far, make sure that my shelves were stocked to get us through the winter so that we had all the non-perishables possible on the shelf. I continue to do that just simply because you just don't know what's happening next. I found today at 49 cents a can, if you go into your regular Kroger's or Meyers, your paying 75 cents or better per can. 75 cents is the sale price, mind you. You say 25 cents a can. up to a buck and a quarter a can depending on the type of vegetables that you pick out. And typically, just what I'll get on there is the green beans, peas, corn, carrots, the kidney beans for making chili, of course, and three-bean salad, that kind of stuff, and mixed vegetables. And they're all run in 49 cents a can, which I think is a pretty darn good price. considering everything else that's out there today, it's about a third to a quarter the price that you pay anywhere else. So that's a good deal. And that's, again, the sugar was roughly the same of what I see outside everywhere else at about $2.19, $2.29 for a five pound bag, which is what I've been finding here. But keep your eyes open, stock up when you can, payday with today, and it's like, OK, I've got to do this. I'm sorry. We're just going to have to bite the bullet and do it. Get it over with. So that's what we did. We went over and did that and stopped by the Big Lots. One of the things we were looking at too was a lot of the Big Lots was the prepackaged meals. like MREs. The complete meals in a little plastic container, you can either heat and eat in the microwave or the pop-top type cans. There were a lot of things on the shelf for a buck, buck and a half for complete meals, including, which I thought was kind of interesting for those of you that are conscious of your weight, nutrition, the amount of carbs you take in. Does anybody remember the Nutrisystem? diet plans because those were on the shelf. The prepackaged meals that they would sell you week to week, they were on the shelf at Big Lots. I was surprised. Debbie works at a Big Lots, doesn't she? Yeah. I was surprised to see that stuff there because I didn't think they went out of business, but it might be just extra stuff that they have on the shelf that was going close-dated that they put into liquidation too. Those are things to look at. These are places you might think about looking. The liquidation shops, a lot of your dollar stores buy the liquidation products to put on the shelf with the china sports. Something to keep in mind, take a look at it and you will find that it's not bad stuff. It needs to be used up. If you're going to be in the field, For any period of time, this is a good thing. One of the things that we saw at the dollar store up here was four or five ounces of jerky for a dollar and four different flavors. Generally, jerky, you're looking at $17, $18 a pound. for the stuff that is processed and over the counter. I mean, that's where we're seeing if the deli is in different places around. But pre-packaged ready to go. sophisticated meat, dried out meat. The reason you would dry it out is that you might not get over it. When you get over there where the well is, water and you may boil almost a whole piece of meat again instead of that true hunk of meat. You can reconstitute it. They've been to them, that jerk, munch on it on the way home and you wonder why you're full when you get home and eat that. The thing is, people don't realize is that it's 1-3rd. Three times of what you thought you ate, you actually ate. Your body is just using your body's water to rehydrate. So that little quarter pound pack that you ate is actually three quarters of a pound once it's rehydrated in your system. And that's a three quarters of a pound of meat in your stomach going to work. By the time you get home you're probably not hungry because it takes about 20 minutes for your body to register that it's actually eating something. Well, if you're worried about that, for those of you that are, you know, retain water, it might not be so bad. But on the other hand, there's something to think about. Well, most of your commercial, while we're talking about chowing one on the way home, most of your commercial jerky's going to... And sulfur. And yeah, so they want it to taste good. Right. You need a little... Right. To your grocer when they have the sirloin steaks on sale or the round steaks or even the bottom round. Because if you're making jerky it's going to be kind of chewy anyway But the better jerky is made but of course with better cuts meat last year here We had whole solid 10 15 pounds. I'll for $2.49 You know how much jerky you can make with that I filled my freezer obviously at $2.49 a pound But a couple of them and had them had them slice them up into nice steaks, but pull them out and use them I mean they were pretty good size. I actually got one of them cut in a couple of those stakes in half. They were so big for doing things like stir fry, be stroganoff, things of that nature. The other inexpensive way to get your meat is of course you'll buy it on the hoof and have hoof. Yeah, or a half. Right. Or a half. Buy it on the hoof. Talk to the other guys in your unit. This is one of the things that we're talking about to save money. Go for a quarter even. Get a pig, get a cow, and do a quarter. Stuff it in your freezer or can it. Put it in your freezer, have it done up, put it in your freezer, and then pull it out as you can and can it up. So that you don't have to depend upon the refrigeration to keep your meat or pull it out as we were talking about and slice it thin and dry it. There are, you know, dry it for jerky, for your backpacks. Very simple to do. Super easy recipes now. Different items that you can purchase. You can get the marinate mixes. Again, it does have some preservatives in there, but you can cut a lot of that by using a little bit of oil or just go out and get it at the Montreal steak seasonings. It has salt, it has pepper, it has garlic, it has just anything in there that you want for flavor-wise. Again, if you want to rehydrate it and use it in a stew or cooking over a fire outside, we'll add to that flavor and it's wonderful. About eight hours if you cut that meat, oh say, a quarter of an inch thick. Now you've mentioned another thing Nancy. Debbie, I don't know why. Maybe it's for meat for the lettuce. Maybe it's, well, you know, of Edwards. Age 2 will be that. It very well could because she used to enjoy a nice steak and we'd go here and there. But as of late, it didn't seem to enjoy meat as much. I was sent, I hate to go shopping. DNA combination there. If you think you hate to go shopping, get a thin fry. You mentioned stir fry. Here, I'm mixing up a number of different stuff. But I looked and I told you to buy a steak. Now come on, how come you didn't? All I would have had to do was slice that up and stewing beef. It takes forever to cook and it'd take you to brown up two pounds of burger. Generally it makes steak which is tougher. You want to take and if you're making jerky out of deer for the first time, silver, less skinnier than skin, between muscles that are actually damage. Fat has to be treated. Fat has more moisture in it therefore it takes longer to dry it. I don't know really about They didn't use much salt, but what salt they did use was stuff that they found processed right out of the dirt. Up in the UP, there is a lot of salt up there, or even Detroit. Everybody knows about the salt mines in Detroit in this area anyway. It's huge, but very little salt that they use. And what the Pemmican is a very interesting mix of mainly, there's a lot of fat there, but it was used for our backpacking today for a high energy mix of a mix of fat and a little bit of meat for flavor. They would usually put it in a casing, and everybody knows what a casing is, right? They had upper and tenderness. wrap it off and then they would wrap that inside of grape leaves. Now a lot of people, if you can and your grandparents taught you about canning, you would have seen grape leaves in the bottom of your pickle jar. What that did is there is a natural alum in the grape leaves, which helps to keep things crisp. A lot of people don't know that. You just wild grape leaves, your regular grape leaves, or domestic. They have that preservative naturally in the leaf. When you see grape leaves from the Middle East, again, this is a rice and meat that is spiced and rolled up and then put in a pickling solution inside the leaf. They eat it leaf and all. So, that's something to think about there. We did have a couple questions, John, that I want to address. We've had some folks from down south and from southeast that were asking questions about fundraising. They wanted to purchase a few things and wanted some fundraising ideas. I don't know if in your state you have this. I know I'm kind of jumping ship here on this. But again, to try to reduce your overhead folks, the cost of what it takes to live, this is something to get those items that are a little pricier, that may be outside of your budget, a way to raise those funds quickly. Here in the state of Michigan, we have a bottle return. deposit. It's like a tax, basically, to make sure you return your bottles so they're not alongside the road for any carbonated beverage. So what we do here for a quick fundraiser, bottle drive. Everybody picks up the bottles alongside the road, any pot bottles, beer bottles, whatever carbonated drink that you may have the bottle return on. And put that money aside for that project. But, you know, taking, I know there have been a few militia groups that have taken on the Adopt-A-Highway, you know, one or two miles of roadway. When you go do that in the spring especially, separate those pot bottles and cans out. Now, if you don't have that, the other thing is this, that you can do for quick money, and that is to have a recycling day where you take the We've talked about metal mods and the price is back up on on scrap metal folks So this is one another way if you've got Stuff that's metal that you know rusting out and it's just sitting there and you're not going to use it again turn it in but if you can set it up you take a truck a pickup truck or a a hay wagon. They have sides on it. Take it into town and just have everybody bring, you know, we'll go through, just set it out by the road, we'll pick it up, and they get their big items taken away for free. And you get the weight of it back from this scrap metal dealer in cash. So, you know, I know there were a couple guys that wanted to get some night vision. specifically from down south. But these are a couple of ways to do things. If you have a longer period of time where you don't eat it right away, you can plant crops. Certain things like pumpkin jack-o'-lanterns for a fall fundraiser. Sell pumpkins for Halloween, Christmas trees. You're not going to grow those, obviously, because they take years. But you can go pick them out. Generally, if you have the immediate thing brought up, whether it be everybody pulls together and has a crash sale, everybody pulls together and do a bottle refund or the metal recycling, and then put that into something further down the road. for long term, something we did as in the Jay season. This can go for anything. We sold Christmas trees every year. And it would be about $1,500 to purchase them. And then we'd make at least that much more to put in the bank account to run other events that we ran through the year. But you can do that. You can do flowers for Mother's Day. by buying from a local, oh goodness, greenhouse, getting flowers cheap and then turning around and selling them. This is something that you can do, set up a farm market, whatever, and make a decent profit on it for your organization regardless of what the organization is. Just turn around, just keep it, you know, so you have a little nest egg, if you will, to work from. So you can make a purchase and then turn that around and put it into the thing you want to buy. But only see the little nest egg, if you will, you know, a couple hundred bucks so that you can apply it to the purchase of a small product that you want to turn around and make a profit on so that you can get the things for your group that you want to get. It's just a way of doing things very quickly. Yard sale, again, yard sale, bottle drive, doing a drive for recycling. The other thing I was thinking about, something I thought was very cute, was it can be sold locally at gas stations and convenience stores as a little key chain. You know, just get the circle type and they're generally, if you get them in growth, I haven't checked the sources on that, but you can generally get them very, very cheap for like five cents if you get them from the wholesaler that makes them, they're really cheap. And then get a little piece of the old style macrame rope, very thin. and the cheap little plastic pony beads in red, white and blue, call them the American First Keychains. Something of that nature that can sell for a couple of bucks and you're making a decent profit on it that can go again toward things or even the sale of flags. say for Memorial Day parades and for 4th of July. Generally they're very inexpensive, the little hand held ones and something that can be either purchased and given out or you can sell them. Generally, retail is about 25 to 50 cents a piece. So that tells you what the cost is of them. Generally, the retailers where I see them at, at the 50 cents that they generally charge four to five times. To get a figure, they're about 10 cents a piece. So, there's something that you can do to make money, folks, to reach the goals that you want to reach for your organization. Ed, I know it's about time for that break. We're getting towards the bottom of the aisle. We are. I do want to at this time thank Buck Shachs for his sponsorship. That's been terrific.

Looking forward to that we should be having his information here within the week regarding what it is he would like on air for there. But any rate with the kids, that's very good too. I think that pretty well covers fundraising. I mean it doesn't take much to cover that. I mean I've done it for years. If you've got any questions on how to go about doing it, give me a buzz. The number here is 734-424-9335. Or if you have a question on air, we'd like to do that. We can do that also. I can just remember when I do it. hour and the next. 218-486, extension the room code. 43792. Oh Nancy, I thought I'd get it. You know, I dial it and I put it back in the card file and put it away and then it's like, oh shoot. I was going to mention that. It doesn't help when it's put away. Yeah, and here I am looking at it again too. The other thing, I tend to do phone numbers that I do over and over. Eventually I do them by pad the numbers, get the number out by remembering. I do that with your number a lot. What was that number again? I have to go over the keypad. Somebody is asking me to get your phone number. That's embarrassing. What are you doing? It's funny because your muscles remember that it's in the subconscious. It's just not coming out yet. If I sit here and think about dialing that number that I've just told you, think about each individual number as I'm dialing it. That's for sure. Don't forget. It's repetition and doing things right the same time over and over and over again practice. I had to go out early this morning and pick up more potting soil because I ran out. I put everything in the greenhouse and get it before the frost is old. We still had a couple of really, really cold mornings so I don't want to put those beans out in the garden yet. But I got them started and they're up. The same with my corn and my peas. The frost isn't going to bother peas. There are things that just don't do well if it gets frosted on them. I've taken the design and I'm making it more permanent, which is not making the rest of the family happy. It's my little corner of the world, if you will. counting of. I have tried it some day. I might have said, sure, there ain't nothing out there. So I went down this embankment. It was about 43. So I went down this embankment just through the brush and I was outstanding everything up there in 20 yards and two on one side. Right. And but you guys, this was a July morning. Oh, boy. So you have to have a permit. It's bees, eyes, ants. I ended up there. It was again, I didn't want to waste him. No, I heard once about the roe. I think I saw a t-shirt or something. Right. But critters are When the flying insects mentioned moments, like even that little greenhouse, you've moved all of your looking at butcher in the summertime and you can't get at it. You guys can get at it. It's either eat the dog or feed. Well, I think we discussed, oh gosh, this winter, I think it was December or January, they were hitting a deer a day in front of my house. There was one though. One of the customers came in. I had a deer right at the end of your driveway. Boy, it's still steaming. I got on the phone and told Martin Hinter, I get in the yard. We took it out back and we thrust it out. We're still eating on that thing. That was wonderful. As you take it apart, you can determine if bones, you don't want to eat that. We're talking about this could be a scenario. We've seen this in movies and whatnot. It's happened in real life and history. You could leave certain that that deer Now, you need to know when it dropped. Well, here, and Bunk Shot will tell you this, you guys, because this is a good... If you want to know, if you come across games, and you know, many a hunter will shoot a buck in the evening and lose it in the dark and find it in the next... That's not uncommon, you guys, and sometimes when the nights get long, you might think that, well, you shot that deer and you didn't find it until 7 o'clock the next... But, you can experiment in this direction and... There's a reason why we clean. You're a comfort and you become accustomed. Well, and that's it. Okay. And it doesn't take, and this is, well, it's people in food service know this. If it's above 40 degrees, between 40 and 140 degrees, well, between 40 degrees and 140 degrees is what they call the danger zone. This is where bacteria growth, grows rampantly. And in a four hour period, it's no longer fit to eat. Well, this is why you don't want it. You want to be real careful. including It's not taking care of that burst, the appendix burst, then you've got two days. Generally two days and you're dead if you don't get it taken care of now because of that problem. The bacteria, the poisons that are there are let loose into the abdomen and it will eat you from the inside out. It will kill you in a matter of days. This is why we call it Miracle George. Miracle George. This is something else we can talk about. Again, it's the silver. He walked around like that with his appendix first for eight months with using what I've been calling ionic silver. I've been told, nope, that's not the right term. But the angstrom sized part of both silver and cyst silver in the water solution. George is a walking testament to that, to be able to walk around for eight months when they went in to find out because they thought he had what is called a fistula in the bowels. He went inside and there was no appendix. They found the appendix where it had burst and actually rotted off and was laying on the back wall of his abdomen. It had been here quite some time. Yeah, it's a miracle the man lived as long as he did. But our miracle George. Again, if you need silver for making the detox, you can contact me at 734-424-9335 and we can get the silver to you ASAP. get your number and address and have them shipped direct. I just don't have the space to store all that stuff here and I just have them ship it direct from Water on to your doorstep so you have it generally within a week of the time that it's been ordered. So make sure that you've got that Oh goodness, we should have that up on the webpage pretty quick. But in the meantime, give me a call and I will go through what's available. There are different strengths of silver as well as calcium, magnesium that are available. So just put that out there as well for folks. But hanging on here, getting stuff done. being able to live and through these rough times that we're going through right now as a nation economically, especially here in the state of Michigan, I think we're probably one of the hardest hit at this point. We're looking at 12% unemployment, so doing whatever we can to reduce the cost of living. One of those is we were talking about gardening and hunting and fishing. is producing your own food, gathering your own food. And this is one of the things that we can do. The greenhouse is a great idea. Like I said, I'm making mine a little more permanent using... Oh gosh, went to Lowe's and picked up what they call it. I call it a corrugated clear vinyl. I've been putting on one or two sections at a time until I get that outer shell complete. We have a screen door placed in and placed and it's doing very well. Everything there is taking off and I've got four different types of tomatoes, two different types of peas, the sugar snap peas, beans, bush beans, pole beans, peaches and cream, corn, broccoli, karate, kale, spinach, walnut spinach inside. That's done in my salad garden, which is separate. But mustard greens, oh goodness, Swiss chard, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower. I don't have Brussels sprouts this year, but you know, this is just, um, a Tiffany iceberg. I know women that they stay home and they cook and they can year round to save the family $10,000. They earn, they earn as much at home, nearly as much at home by saving that money in their food bills as they would be if they went out and worked and, and purchased the product and brought it home. So, you know, this is something that you can do to reduce your food cost, your overall cost of living. The other thing, oh goodness, is to look at the alternative energy right now, different ways, your backup heat supplies and electrical. reduce the amount of electricity used. And I'm not just talking go green, the Obama-type thing. We've been doing this for years. Going with, though there are some people that hate the forest bulbs, they take a lot less electricity and go a lot further. We're also looking at 12 volt options in the use of solar panels. The radio station at this point in time Most of the lighting on things out there are 12 volt adaptable. We wound up having to do that last year, a lot of it, due to losing the power. But we were still able to get the program out with the use of a 12 volt system using generators and the backup solar panels that a couple people donated, which were absolutely marvelous. But it's something that can be done Again, with time and using money strategies. One of the other things I'd like to caution people, there have been a lot of scams out there for people that are having hardships with their mortgage payments. I want you to be careful and cautious in how you go about this because some of them are not really structured all that great. They will tell you one thing and do something else. So be cautious. Make sure you go to a contract before any money exchange is handed for the closing costs. This is something that you need to be aware of. Know what your options are. If you can avoid having to do that. These re-modification loans, they sound great. But some of them have got some loopholes in them. If they don't go through, you have problems. We're seeing the same thing with credit cards. We can help you diminish your credit card payment. If you cut it in half and pay it off, it's a lot of money. It's 0% interest as long as you make those payments on time. So this is something that is... We've got to be up on and make sure that, again, the interest rates don't go through the roof. You've got to read all of the contracts. So make sure that you have, before you agree to anything, you've got a contract in hand to read through first so that you know what the penalties are. Because trust me, if there's any late, they will add on penalties and fees and interest. So be aware. If you can, again, there are different ways to raise more funds quickly even without having to go out and get a second job. That's something that you need to look into.

He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land is free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic in each God-given right.
