The SHTF.. Zombies are running in the streets.. Nuclear weapons have exploded..
So you have one last chance to hit the grocery stores and add to your stocks at home.
Hopefully, you already have a multi-month supply of food on hand. There is no way one trip to Kroger or Safeway, (along with everyone else) is going to leave you with enough to survive the coming months and years.
Here are some things to grab while the getting is good and everyone else is grabbing beer, cigarettes, candy and liquor.

Canning jars
Canning rings and lids
Canning salt
Salt, kosher, regular, rock and sea salt

Most of the items on this list are "boring" to the average panicked looter. Remember, they will be grabbing comfort foods (soda, sweets), canned goods and expensive vices (liquor, beer, cigarettes, cigars, ice (of all things!) and chocolate.
Take what is available and keep in mind non-traditional outlets for food like convenience stores, dollar stores and truck stops.
Stay safe and don't bring children or elderly along during these forays.
Good luck and get ready!

do you think it would be a good idea to hit the local REI, walmart or cabelas to get camping supplies that would prove useful? or would the stuff already be taken by others?
ReplyDeleteI would go to REI and get camping supplies now. Tents, lanterns, flashlights, etc don't have a shelf life so they can be purchased a little (of a lot if possible) and stored. Food is perishable. If conditions allow, this list is a reminder list for what to get if there is time for "One More Run" to the grocers.
