Multipurpose Items to Use When

Surviving Economic Crisis on a Budget

History has already proven how fragile the global economy is and it really wouldn't take much to

have it collapse altogether. If that should happen, life will get exponentially tougher for the

majority of us, so being prepared in advance is crucial.

As preppers, we're always looking for ways to re-use, repurpose and get creative with what we

have on hand so in that spirit, we've put together a list of common household multipurpose

items to use when surviving an economic crisis.

Don't wait till the economy collapses, though.

These items are great to use now because they're also environmentally friendly!

few



Duct Tape

I know that we preach the value of duct tape all the time, but it really can't be overstated as an

invaluable multi-use item that every prepper should have.

Just a few things that you can use duct tape for include:

Patching tarps, rain gear, shoes and tents

Splint a broken tent pole (or a leg!)

Sealing broken windows

Sealing leaky window sills and frames

Binding wounds

Marking trails

Making a cup in a pinch

Making easy fly strips

Making a sling

Emergency vehicle repair (hoses, etc.)

There really is no limit to what you can use duct tape for. Have several roles on hand.

Salt

According to the Salt Institute, there are more than 14,000 uses for

salt; as a matter of fact, Roman soldiers were actually PAID in it!

That’s what we call a serious multi-use item and the fact that it’s an

abundant, cheap mineral makes it even better.

In addition to tasting good, salt also acts as an antibacterial,

antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent when used topically and

can be used for a number of household cleaning and disinfecting

purposes.

Here are just a few of the 14,000 uses!

Salt melts ice.

Use it to preserve foods, especially meats.

Tenderize tough cuts of meat.

If you forage for nuts, soaking them in a salt water solution for several hours will make

them easier to open.

few



A pinch of salt in coffee reduces bitterness.

A pinch of salt will keep milk fresh longer.

Gargle or rinse with salt to help a sore throat, canker sore or toothache.

Salt makes water boil at a higher temperature, reducing cooking time and saving fuel.

Puts out grease fires.

Combine with baking soda to make toothpaste.

Use with some honey or water to exfoliate.

Combine with baking soda to make an abrasive, stain-removing cleanser.

Wash your hands with it to get rid of oniony or garlicky smells.

Use a salt bath to draw infection or swelling out of minor wounds or aching muscles.

Relieve the itch or pain from bug bites and stings.

Soak candles in a salt solution for a few hours and they won’t drip when burned.

Line doorways, windowsills and shelves with salt to keep ants away.

Salt water kills weeds, including poison ivy.

Toss a tablespoon or so into wet shoes to help dry them faster and deodorize them.

A sprinkle of salt helps soak up grease and scrub off particles when cleaning your iron

skillet.

If you’re air-drying your clothes in the winter, add a handful of salt to your final rinse to

keep them from freezing on the line.

Add a pinch to your jams and jellies. It helps the gelatin set quicker.

Salt mixed with alcohol (1:4) is great to remove grease stains from clothes.

14,000 uses. Stockpile plenty!

Bleach

Bleach can be used to kill disease-causing bacteria, fungi and viruses

and it takes very little to be; a 10:1 bleach/water solution will kill just

about anything, including the AIDS and hepatitis viruses.

Since disease is going to be a huge issue in a post-SHTF society, an

ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

You can also use it to sanitize drinking water. Add ¼ teaspoon per

gallon of clear water or ½ teaspoon per gallon of cloudy (but

filtered) water. Let it stand for 30 minutes prior to drinking.

few



Vinegar

First, let’s differentiate between white vinegar

and apple cider vinegar. White vinegar is a

fermentation of dilute ethyl alcohol. Apple cider

vinegar is a natural product made from

fermented apples/juice. Both have awesome

cleansing properties but apple cider vinegar is

also has medicinal properties.

Keeping both on hand would be ideal but if you

have to choose one or the other to stockpile,

we would suggest going with apple cider

vinegar, hands down.

Here are just a few uses for vinegar:

The acetic acid in vinegar tenderizes meat.

Dabbing some vinegar onto a fish will help the scales come off easier.

Preserve eggs by pickling them in vinegar. White works best because of the distinctive

.flavor or apple cider, but either will do.

Spritz on your skin to relieve eczema and other skin conditions.

Kills bacteria on your face that causes acne.

Clean and disinfect counters, windows and other hard surfaces.

AC vinegar helps with digestion and helps soothe heartburn and UTIs.

Mix with baking soda to clean and disinfect water bottles and containers.

Helps reduce night sweats associated with menopause.

Nutrition: ACV has lots of minerals and enzymes, including calcium and potassium.

Mix with baking soda and spray on shelves and in dark corners to deter mice and rats.

Mix with water to relieve painful sunburn.

Kills mildew.

Antibiotic properties help cuts and scrapes heal faster and with less scarring.

Kills the itch and odor associated with yeast infection. Drink an ounce or so in the

morning to fight the yeast internally and swab/douche with diluted vinegar to stop the

itching and kill the yeast externally.

Kills dandruff.

few



Antibacterial properties help kill bugs that cause a sore throat when you gargle with it.

Lemon Juice

Yes, you can make some great lemonade, which would certainly

boost morale, but there are several good uses for lemon juice that

earn it a spot on our list:

Disinfectant. Pour a few drops directly on your wound or apply

with a cotton ball. It also helps it stop bleeding.

Indigestion/stomach upset. Mix a few drops with water and

drink.

Relieve poison ivy symptoms.

Natural decongestant. Helps reduce phlegm and ease difficult breathing.

A few drops per day in your water helps prevent kidney stones.

Treat diphtheria. Research shows that swallowing 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of lemon juice every

hour or so will release the faux membrane that forms in your throat so that it can come out.

Disinfect your vegetables and fruits. Just put a tablespoon of lemon juice in your spray

bottle and spritz it on your produce.

Prevent fleas and ticks. Spray on your pets to keep them pest-free.

Honey & Propolis

Antibacterial, antiseptic and antifungal. Use as a base for salves or to relieve the pain of

beestings.

This is also high in nutrients, including vital minerals. Honey is also great for curing allergies if

taken orally every day. Pure local honey should most certainly be a part of your stockpile.

Nutrition, Health and Medicinal Purposes

The first benefit of raising bees is, of course, for the honey that they produce. It’s delicious and

now studies have proven that it’s also good for you!

few



Honey is the only 100% natural sweetener that has been studied and proven to have both health

benefits and no negative physical side effects (other than making you pudgy if you eat too

much!).

In addition to making your tea delicious, the health benefits of honey are well documented.

They include:

Honey is a natural antibacterial shown to hamper the growth of such bad bugs as E-Coli,

Staphylococcus aureus, salmonella and even the bacteria that causes acne. It also protects

cuts, burns and other wounds and helps with the healing process.

Honey is packed with flavonoids – antioxidants that help reduce the risk of cancer,

cardiovascular disease, and even aging.

Honey is an anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory.

Honey relieves coughs and sore throats.

Honey helps relieve allergies

Equal parts of water, vinegar and honey work as an effective natural anti-parasitic.

In addition to honey, bees also produce propolis, a glue-like substance that they use to seal

their hives and keep them sanitary. Propolis has antibacterial, anti-microbial and anti-fungal

properties that are at least as strong as the ones found in honey. As a matter of fact, if an

intruding bee dies in the hive, it’s mummified in propolis in order to preserve the cleanliness of

the hive.

Propolis also:

Helps relieve pain in cancer patients

Helps lower cholesterol

Helps treat endometriosis

Acts as a powerful antioxidant

Relieves joint pain

The health and nutritional benefits of honey are only the first

reason to raise bees for survival but they’re not the only ones.

few



Let’s move on!

Honeycombs Have Many Uses

Before the bees can make honey, they have to build a comb to put it in. The honeycomb is

made up of hundreds of identical 6-sided cells lined with a wax that bees secrete from their

glands. There are many common uses of honeycombs

that would be beneficial in a survival situation,

including:

As a luxury edible. Cut a chunk of the comb off

and eat it – it’s crunchy, honey-coated deliciousness!

Candles. Beeswax candles burn longer and

cleaner than paraffin candles and it’s relatively simple

to render into wax.

Honeycombs are what you make beeswax from,

as we just revealed. Beeswax is a wonderful ingredient

to use when making lotions, lip balms and other moisturizers.

Weatherproofing – beeswax will be a valuable tool when you need to waterproof

something. Just rub it into the leather, thread, wood, or other porous material and voila! It’s

waterproof, softened, and even preserved!

Thinned beeswax and mineral spirits make an excellent polish for bullets, gun metal and

stocks.

Beeswax-soaked paper makes an excellent fire starter.

As with all things survival related, honeycomb and beeswax can be used in a multitude of ways

limited only by your creativity!

Cayenne Pepper

Not only does it make food taste great, cayenne powder

helps stop bleeding and is good for various ailments

including various digestive disorders.

It’s also a natural anti-inflammatory if eaten regularly.

few



In addition to many other health benefits, the capsaicin in cayenne pepper is also great to use to

treat arthritis, bursitis, psoriasis, eczema, muscle pain, and nerve pain.

Capsaicin is the chemical in peppers that makes then hot but when used topically, it causes your

body to release a chemical called Substance P. This is the chemical that carries pain messages

from your nerves to your brain. In addition to capsaicin, cayenne also contains salicylates, the

same compounds found in aspirin.

The best way to apply the cayenne to your skin is to make a gel or cream out of it using coconut

oil or other natural bases. When you first apply it, you’ll feel hot. That’s because the capsaicin is

causing the Substance P to flood through. Once your supply is depleted within a couple of

minutes, you’ll get relief.

Newspapers

Don’t toss out those Sunday papers after you get the coupons out

of them! Newspaper can be used for toilet paper, insulation,

starting fires or making a semi-bulletproof wall.

Insulation

When building houses 100 years ago, newspaper was often used

as insulation. It was cheap and effective. Should you find yourself

in a situation where you have to build an abode, or your home is

damaged and you need to fix it in SHTF situation, newspaper is a great insulator. You can also

wrap your pipes in it at night to prevent them from freezing.

Toilet paper

Just like the Sears and Roebuck catalog of old, newspaper will serve quite well as toilet paper in

a pinch. Don’t use the glossy paper for this – just the print paper. To make it soft, just wad it up

and rub it between your knuckles a little.

few



Organic Weed Prevention

Instead of using black plastic, layer your garden beds with a layer of newspaper. It’s

biodegradable and will stop the growth of weeds just as effectively as the black plastic that

many people use.

Place a few layers down and weight it by wetting it a bit or by placing some rocks on the corner.

The added benefit here is that it actually helps fertilize the soil for the next season, too.

Homemade Seed Pot

Newspaper is so easy to work with that you can shape it into just about anything that you want

to make out of it. People wet it and wrap it around balloons to make pinatas and fold it into

cute little baskets.

In the same vein, you can cut the newspaper into squares, wet it, and layer it over the end of a

baseball bat or other object of similar size. Allow it to dry and voila! You have biodegradable

seed pots, perfectly sized! You can plant the seedling, cup and all, when it’s big enough to set

outside.

Draft-Proofing or Covering Windows

Just as it works well for insulating you and your walls, newspaper makes an excellent draft-

stopper around your doors and windows. Just tuck it into the cracks and you’ll be amazed by

how much cold air you’ll keep out (or in, as the case may be in the summer).

If you’re looking for a quick way to cover your windows in order to keep people from seeing in,

or to camouflage your house so that it looks less appealing, newspaper works wonders.

As a matter of fact, this is one of our favorite survival uses for newspaper. Just wet it with water,

or even add a bit of flour to make it stickier, and stick it on the windows. This has the added

benefit of being easy to remove and if you only add one layer, you’ll still get plenty of light but

people won’t be able to see in.

few



WD40

It’s great for removing grease, gum and other

sticky grime and for preventing rust. Actually, they say

that WD 40 has more than 2000 uses.

Lube a shovel. Spray WD-40 on a shovel,

spading fork, hoe or garden trowel. The soil slides

right off—especially helpful when digging in clay.

Clean tile. The sprays removes spilled mascara,

nail polish, paint and scuff marks from tile floors, and

also help you wipe away grime from the grout lines.

Clean up with soapy water.

Scrub stains from stainless steel sinks.

Soften leather. Oil can help break in a stiff

leather tool belt.

Get rid of rust. Spray and rub away rust from circular saw and hacksaw blades. It can also

clean blades of tar and other gunk.

Remove goo. Unstick gooey residue from price tags, duct tape, and stickers.

Finally, WD40 is an excellent waterproofing agent and some people swear that a little bit

sprayed on a bee sting takes the pain away. Stockpile a few cans of it.

Eggshells

Packed full of calcium and protein, eggshells have several uses. You

can feed them to your chickens for better egg production.

Store them in a jar of water then pour the water on your plants. It

provides excellent nutrients to the soil.

Eggshells are also good as an abrasive to clean iron skillets or other

surfaces with.

Bake them and grind them into a powder. Add a tablespoon to your

breakfast to boost your calcium intake.

If you want to get really creative, half-shells are great to use to start

your seeds in.

few



Baking Soda

This stuff is amazing. We’ve already mentioned

several ways to use it with other ingredients but it

makes a great base for a paste for cleaning or for

many medical uses.

You can take a teaspoon of it for heartburn in a

pinch (be careful, chronic use can make ulcers

worse). It kills fungi and yeast and soaks up moisture

from your shoes. Scrub your veggies with them, or use it as a base

for deodorant or toothpaste. The list goes on.

These are just a few of the top items that we found that are cheap and easy to stockpile.

Because they’re so multi-functional, you should make every effort to stockpile each of them!

Isopropyl Alcohol

It acts as an antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral for wounds, first aid tools and surfaces.

It’s also extremely flammable and can be used to make Sterno cans to cook with. If possible, go

with 99% if you’re going to use it to burn instead of the 70% that most people grab.

Chalk

Can be used to mark paths, deter ants and insects if you put

a line of it in your doorway, or even as a component to

make biofuel. But let’s see a few more uses:

Remove Grease Stains - Rub chalk on the stained

area and let it sit for 10 minutes. This helps absorb

the grease. Before throwing it in the washing

machine, wipe off the excess dust.

Clean Ring-Around-The-Collar - Rub the stain

heavily with white chalk. The chalk will absorb the oil

that holds in the dirt. Allow to sit for at least 10

minutes, then wash as usual.

Remove Grease Stains from Suede - Crush the chalk and sprinkle it on the grease stain.

Let sit overnight. Then brush off in the morning. The chalk dust absorbs the grease from

the suede.

few



Prevent Mildew and Odors in the Laundry Hamper - Place several pieces of sidewalk

chalk in a resalable plastic bag, and place the open bag in the bottom of the dirty clothes

hamper. The chalk will absorb the moisture from the damp clothes, preventing the

growth of odor causing mildew. Replace once a month.

Stop Silver from Losing its Luster - Keep some chalk in the same place that you store

your silver. It’ll absorb the moisture and prevent the silver from tarnishing.

Prevent Tarnished Jewelry - A piece of chalk in your jewelry box will prevent costume

and silver jewelry from tarnishing. The chalk will absorb the sulfur compounds inside the

jewelry box before they can turn the jewelry black.

Clean Pewter -Make a paste with a ground-up piece of chalk and vodka. Rub on pewter,

rinse it off, and polish.

Prevent Musty Closets - A bundle of chalk in a closet will go a long way in preventing

the mustiness that often occurs.

Rearranging Furniture - Chalk is a great temporary way to mark out a new design on

the floor when you’re redecorating. You can stand back and see if it will work before you

start moving things around.

Sand a Surface Evenly - Rub chalk on the surface you are sanding. Continue to sand

until it’s all gone, and you’ll end up with a perfectly even surface!

Keep Your Toolbox Rust-Free - Since chalk absorbs moisture, a handful of chalk pieces

in your toolbox will help prevent your tools from rusting.

Prevent Screwdrivers from Slipping - Rub some chalk on the head of a flathead to

prevent your screwdriver from slipping when you’re turning a screw.

Instant Wall Repairs - For a quick fix of little nicks and scrapes on your walls, find a

piece of chalk that matches the paint color and just draw it in.

Stop Ants In Their Tracks - For some reason, ants don’t like to cross chalk lines. Draw

some on around your doorways, windowsills and wherever else the ants are coming in

from to stop them in their tracks.

Sticking Keys - Got a door key that keeps sticking in the lock? Rub a piece of chalk

along the teeth and tip of the key, then slide the key in and out of the lock a few times.

The chalk coats the dirt particles inside the lock and absorbs any moisture.

Installing Door Hardware - To get an exact fit for door hardware, coat the underside of

the hardware on the door, then shut the door. The chalk will mark the exact location for

latches, locks, etc.

Hide Ceiling Marks- Temporarily cover up water or scuff marks on the ceiling until you

have time to paint or make a permanent repair. Rub a stick of white chalk over the mark

until it lightens or disappears.

few



Coffee

Compost - Spent coffee grounds can be mixed with lye to make a great composting

agent, you can even throw in the coffee filter, too! Worms in compost like to eat the

bacterium that grows on the facets of coffee grounds, though the grounds themselves

are a a food source it also adds grit to the worms' digestive system allowing them to

digest better.

Fertilizer - Small amounts of coffee grounds can be added directly to top soil,

especially on plants that like high acidity in the soil like azaleas or roses. Coffee is high in

nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, potassium and other trace minerals, spreading around a

thin layer of coffee grounds on your soil will allow a slow release of these minerals into

your plants. Be aware of which plants like acidic soil (roses), and which plants don't

(tomatoes).

Insect Repellant - Coffee has a very strong odor which many insects and animals do

not like. In addition, it's been suggested that mosquitoes, ants, slugs and maggots all

dislike the acidity of coffee and will stay away from areas where there is high

concentration of acidic soil.

Used Tea Bags

Great for starting fires. Just dry them out then store in an airtight container. Or use them for one

of these…

Soothe Tired or Injured Eyes - Crying all night over a breakup can result in puffy and

red eyes. While regular ice bags would work, a couple of tea bags can do the trick. Soak

them in ice cold water then apply over your eyelids, as compresses. The tea will

rejuvenate your face, removing the redness and puffiness after a while. This method also

works for healing pink eye. (More tips on how to get rid of pink eye).

Flavor Your Meat - Meat tastes great when cooked the

right way, but when not prepared properly, it can turn out

bland, tough and unappetizing. Here's one way of solving

that problem: use tea bags (or even leftover tea) to

marinade your meat. The sweetness of the drink will add a

savory taste to your barbecue.

Make "Less Sinful" Drinks - If you're a health junkie,

you're definitely very much aware of the unpleasant effects

of soft drink and alcoholic beverages on your body. To

lessen the guilt of consuming these sinful drinks, you can

few



substitute half of it with tea. Soak the used tea bag in hot or cold water again for a few

minutes, then get the same amount of soft drink or alcoholic beverage and mix them

together. There's less calories and sugar, but the flavor will be improved.

Around-The-House Cleaner - Tea can effectively remove grease and grime on mirrors,

floors and even linoleum, so why not use your old bags to make a cold brew, then use it

as a cleaning solution? Mop your linoleum or wooden flooring with these. Clean your

kitchen countertops with it as well. You can use this for unpainted wooden furniture. Just

make sure you wipe it thoroughly, so it won't stain.

Remove Warts - Warts are icky and unsightly. There are numerous around the house

items you can use to remove them. Old tea bags are one example. Soak them in hot

water, then put over your wart for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Make sure you dispose of

the tea bag after using it on the wart. You can't say it works as great (or as quick) as

vinegar, but it's worth a try!

Deodorize Your Place - Tea bags soak in water, but they can also soak in the stuffy and

stinky smell of shoes or closets. Place a few unwrapped and unused tea bags on a small

platter, then put this inside the closet. If it's shoes, place one bag in every shoe.

Give Oral Relief - Got a painful canker sore? It can go away on its own, but if you want

to quicken the healing process, soak a used tea bag, then bite down on it. The tea's

healing properties will soothe the pain and make the sore go away faster. This method

also helps stop a pulled tooth from bleeding.

Sunburn And Acne Solution - Old tea bags can also be added to your bath, too! If

you've got a bad case of acne, or if your skin is raw and red from tanning at the beach,

use the old tea bags to provide relief. Wash off the affected areas with cold tea made

from used bags. After several applications, you'll feel the cooling and calming effects.

(For more sunburn remedies, read how to relieve sun burn)

Fertilize Your Plants - Here's a great way to reuse all the old tea bags you have around

the house: use them for your plants. Tea bags can be used as an organic fertilizer for

potted house plants, with many stimulant benefits from the nutrients in the ingredients.

You can even remove the bags and mix the tea leaves inside with your soil, helping

absorb water and retaining moisture. If your problem is leaking bottom holes in the plant

containers, you can use teabags to prevent the leakage. This also works well for hanging

planters.
