Dollar Tree Black Out Kit




Editor's note:  This is an article I wrote in 2020 for a previous blog I had.  I thought I would repost it.  


As it gets closer to summer blackouts may become more prevalent, especially if you live in an area that is prone to wild fires and planned blackouts. These kits are also good to have on hand year round. Most of the items for this kit was purchased at the Dollar Tree.

The kit includes:

2 large glass candles - The Dollar Tree website claims these will burn for 80 hours.

Pack of emergency candles - This is a six pack of 5 inch candles. The pack claims that each candle will burn for five hours. 

Lighter -  It came in a three pack.  

Flashlight - This is the only product that did not come from the Dollar Tree.  I bought a ten pack of these small led flashlights at walmart for $10.  The batteries were included.

LED light stick - Another great find at the Dollar Tree. It is bright and claims to last 60 hours.  The one in the photo is green, but they also have red and blue. 

Container - This is just a small shoe tote from the Dollar Tree. It's always good to have a few of these on hand. They make for great organization. 

You can add as many candles to the kit as you wish. I made a few of these up and handed them out as gifts.
