If you’re looking for an excuse to go on a spending spree, this is it. Go to the nearest participating Whole Foods store between July 3 and 16 and get a $10 credit on Amazon Prime Day. Of course, you have to buy at least $10 worth from the store or on Prime Now to get your Amazon discounts.
It doesn’t matter if you still have food at home, head on to Whole Foods now and fill your prepper pantry with supplies. Just make sure to go to a participating store. Also, Whole Foods is offering some of their products on sale so that’s another reason to appreciate and enjoy Amazon Prime Day more. To know more about this exciting deal, click here.
Many people will jump at the chance of buying a gadget for $10 less. If you’re aching to get a new smartphone or the latest video console, that discount would certainly help. Preppers, meanwhile, are rejoicing at the thought of getting such a gift while doing what they would normally do, which is to prepare for emergencies. As a prepper, you should know to take advantage of promotions such as this so you can use the credit to buy stuff for your emergency and disaster preparedness.
Here are ten emergency preparedness items you can get on Amazon Prime Day:
Bug Out Bag
Every home should have at least one bug out bag. Ideally, each member of the household should have one prime and ready to go. Take advantage of Amazon Prime Day and buy one for each of you.
The Wise Food 5-Day Survival Backpack comes with food and water that lasts you, you guessed it, five days. It also has survival gear such as an emergency whistle, waterproof matches, squeeze flashlight, poncho, Mylar blanket, portable stove, fuel tablets, and a stainless steel cup. A small first aid kit and a deck of cards is also included.
Emergency Food
Yes, you’re already buying supplies at Whole Foods so why get more emergency food on amazon Prime Day. Simple. You need food to survive. The more food you have in your prepper pantry, the more days you’ll last in case a disaster keeps you from getting something to eat.
The Mountain House Classic Bucket includes 29 and 58 servings of food, including chicken teriyaki, lasagne, beef stroganoff, and beef stew. Keep some in your prepper pantry and some in your bug out bags. You will need water to eat these, though, so you better stock up on clean drinking water.
Personal Water Filter
Speaking if clean drinking water, you can finally get a personal water filter on Amazon Prime Day. The LifeStraw Personal Water Filter is one of the most popular in its field simply because it works.
It’s also very simple to use. Just place one end of the LifeStraw in the dirty water and sip from the other end. You can even take the water with you with the LifeStraw Water Filter Bottle. Both products are available at discounted prices right now and until Amazon Prime Day is over.
Baby Monitor
If you have a little one, you always want to keep her safe, especially during emergency situations. A baby monitor allows you to leave your baby in her room while you attend to other things. More importantly, it allows you to know if something goes wrong so you can act quickly.
In emergency situations such as natural disasters, you will likely have your hands full. That means there’ll be moments when you have to leave your baby to do the tasks at hand. Suffice to say, this will be a stressful time for everyone.
With a baby monitor, you can at least have a little peace of mind when it comes to your young child. The Philips AVENT SCD570/10 Baby Monitor, for example, provides a “warm tranquil glow of the night light” along with gentle lullabies to help your baby sleep soundly despite the circumstances. More importantly, it alerts you on changes in the temperature and the level of sounds in your baby’s room.
Outdoor Child Safety Gate
An outdoor child safety gate serves two purposes. Its primary purpose is to keep your child safe inside your home but it will also keep stray animals from getting in, at least the ones that can’t jump over it.
Also a child safety gate is another hurdle intruders will have to go through, though a bit easier than say, a full-sized ate that’s locked, before getting inside your home. And if the zombie apocalypse comes true, the child safety gate will help keep the flesh munchers at bay.
The Cardinal Gates Outdoor Safety Gate is hard-mounted and made of aluminum and stainless steel so it won’t break easy. The rustproof and weatherproof baby gate is normally 2 1/2 feet high but can be max out at five feet if you also purchase an extension. This is the better option if you want your baby gate to keep people and animals out.
Monocular
A monocular is a good thing to have when you like to spend some time outdoors. Use it to take in the scenery when you’re up the mountain or to watch an outdoor sporting or music event. It’s also great for bird watching if you’re into that kind of stuff. When it comes to emergencies, it’s also pretty useful.
In the event that society breaks down and people are rioting and looting, you can use your monocular to spot incoming trouble. This way, you can prepare to defend your home and family. If the threat is too much for you to handle, spotting them from a distance may give you enough time to evacuate.
If you’re lost in the woods, the monocular will help you survive and find your way back to safety by spotting trails, clearings, bodies of water, and rescuers. Use the lens to reflect the sun and get the attention of helicopters and planes. The lens can also be used to start a fire, which is necessary in any survival situation.
The Amooc High Powered 40×60 Monocular Telescope is waterproof and fog-proof so you can use it in any weather condition. You can even use it at night thanks to its built-in night vision feature.
Hammock
When you’re forced to leave your home due to a disaster or any emergency situation, one of the problems you’ll encounter is finding a comfortable place to rest and sleep. Evacuation centers are usually too crowded and noisy to even get a decent shuteye. Oftentimes, you have to sleep on the floor, which is far from comfortable.
A camping hammock may just be the answer to these problems. Just find somewhere you can hang your hammock and you’re good to go. A hammock is a great thing to have when you have to sleep outdoors as you just have to hang it between trees.
A set of MalloMe camping hammock includes ropes and carabiners so you really just have to find a couple of trees. This particular hammock is lightweight and compact so you won’t really mind packing it even if you have a tent and sleeping bag. As a matter of fact, you’ll be glad you have one if the ground is too cold or if there are lots of ants and other critters.
Since you’ll be heading to Whole Foods, you might as well get something for your prepper pantry. Start with anything you can buy in bulk such as seeds, herbs, spices, and other non-perishable food items. You can also go for any kind of cooking oil with coconut oil at the top of your list. Other Whole Foods products aside from food that you can purchase to get your $10 Amazon Prime Day credit include medicines, laxatives, medical supplies, and bar soaps.
Once you’re done picking up the necessities for your prepper pantry and maybe some extra items for your enjoyment (they’re on sale, anyway), make sure to have your Prime Code scanned at the counter. Once you receive your $10 Amazon credit, wait for Amazon Prime Day to make your purchase. The credit can only be used from 12 a.m. PT on July 15 up to 11:59 p.m. PT on July 17.
