Summer Updates: ShieldPro, Twins, Affiliate Program, and a HUGE Sale!
Hey everyone, I hope y’all are having a great summer! We are having an awesome one, so I wanted to put up some updates.
First, we are very proud to start carrying the trademarked ShieldPro Brand Mylar Bags. These bags are specifically designed for long-term food storage. Not only are they beautiful, they offer absolutely awesome protection for your foods, with stellar oxygen and moisture barrier properties. If you listen to one of the prepper podcasts you might have heard our first radio commercial. We did it on the cheap, but I like the way it came out! Take a listen if you’re interested. We have one official ShieldPro bag currently available (a 1 gallon gusseted stand up bag), and we are currently scheduled to take delivery of a full truckload more on August 13-14 or so, so look for additional sizes then!
To help clear out some space in our warehouse, we are going to be putting up some awesome deals at the website. For example, for 5-gallon bags, we will be offering 30-packs for $29.70 and 50-packs for $49.50, or $.99 a bag, shipping included! If you’d like a larger quantity than that, we will go as low as $.89/each for 500 or more (email me!). We’ll also have on sale 2-gallon bags and 5-gallon zip seal bags starting tomorrow. Those who have read the blog often know I’m not prone to exaggeration, so I mean it when I say these prices may be the lowest you ever see for shipped bags.
Third on the agenda is the announcement of the Discount Mylar Bags Affiliate Program. This will not be applicable to most folks, and is intended more for bloggers or folks who run websites. Over the years I’ve had dozens of folks ask us if we run an affiliate program. Until now, we didn’t! But now we have one (Being run by Share-a-Sale) and will be offering a flat 10% for all orders referred to us through your affiliate link. If you’re interested you can sign up here, or email me at admin@discountmylarbags.com for more info.
Our final big announcement is personal in nature, which I don’t normally do, so skip this part if I offend! My wife and I have been together over 8 years now and married more than 5, and we always thought she couldn’t have kids. She tried treatments and things in her first marriage, and they didn’t work. I wasn’t about to fork out a whole lot of money to repeat the process, so we were content to spend our time together with each other and our dogs, and work on our own business and interests. Well, the Good Lord Almighty decided that His timing was Now. My wife is blessedly pregnant…with twins!!! I’m a little worried about being 60 when my kids are 18, but I am doing my best to get back into good shape so I can try to be a good dad and be around for them as long as I can. She is at 13 weeks now, we just had a 3d ultrasound done yesterday and all looks well so far, though they won’t be able to determine the sex of them until next time. All Prayers are very welcome, as we know we’re in a higher-risk age bracket (my wife is 38 and I am 42), plus twins are always a little more complicated.
It also means figuring out how to store 2 more years worth of food, this time for kids! Anyone with any advice on that and what you do for your younger kids, I’d love to hear it!
Thank you and have a great summer!
