What to do this week
No matter where you live, it does get dark eventually. It’s always a good idea to have a good flashlight with you. If you live or work in a high-rise building, even the days can get dark, especially if you have to walk the stairs, or in the case of a blackout. LED flashlights are better than ones with the traditional lightbulbs. They cost a bit more, but LEDs are near-indestructible and will last a long time on a set of batteries.
I use the Fenix EO1 LED flashlight as my EDC (every day carry).
That’s it! Remember to save $1 a day, and we’ll see you next week.
