Wooden Clothespins are Cheap. Get Some.

Picture yourself without power or without water, or both.  You have to handwash the laundry, and then somehow hang the clothing up to dry.

I've tried to do that without clothespins, and it is a joke.  If you lay the clothing over a bush, it will eventually fall on the ground and get all dirty.

If you lay the clothing on the ground, ditto.

So right now, while you have power and water, go to the Walmart Housewares department, near the hangers and laundry baskets, and buy 100 clothespins for $1.97.

This will be a great preparedness item for you during the next disaster.
