Toillet paper! My wife does all our grocery shopping, When she comes home I help her unload the groceries, that's the extent of my hleping with shopping. Imagine my surprise when a few weeks ago she came home and the entire back cargo area of her Durango was filled from side to side and floor to roof with shit paper. I gave a big  It was around 60 four packs she got for pennies on the dollar that was being phased out in that store, so she said she couldnt pass it up. So I'm good for to shit paper for awhile.  Yeah, cool story bro and all that.

We have a member in the Survival Forum who lives in Argentina and has posted about what it was like during the hyperinflation there.
He had a big list of stuff that was in demand. IIRC, TP topped the list as well as other hygiene and food items. I have a healthy stash of tobacco; I'm rich come SHTF Speed |

Quoted: Which items would be of the biggest value to have set aside ahead of time. Its not a breakdown of society and government services. Just every thing cost 20 or 100x what it did before. Impossible. You will never see hyperinflation in the US, so long as we keep the current monetary system & don't go isolationist. Argentina was a pegged-money system (pegged to the dollar), so it's not a valid comparison.... |

Ask someone who lived during the hyperinflation of 1920s Germany how useful an ammo stockpile was. |

Argentina was a pegged-money system (pegged to the dollar), so it's not a valid comparison.... why can't we have hyperinflation? Hyperinflation is caused by the sorts of *political* decisions that can't happen in the US... Losing a war so badly that the winners extract economy-crushing reparations, expelling all your productive workers, and such... Or in Argentina's case, pegging their money to the US Dollar & then taking political measures to save the peg, then (IIRC) talking about ending the peg. Not by national debt, or any normal economic factor... Essentially, you have to have politicians who (a) want to enact a near-instantly economy-crushing law or laws (no, obama-care doesn't count - it's nowhere near bad enougn), and (b) have the power to do it without reprocussions.... We don't have that. Nor do we have a pegged money system (pegged money itself causes DEFLATION, however abandoning the peg during a deflationary crisis can cause hyperinflation if not managed properly). Thus, we're pretty well safe from hyperinflation.... Most of the things that could cause it, are the stuff of fringe 3rd parties (abolishing the Fed, withdrawal from foreign affairs, etc - stuff that causes the rest of the world to see the US as something other than a rock-solid stable superpower, and thus a safe bet for a reserve currency).... So long as that doesn't happen, we're safe. |

Quoted:
Food Guns and ammo takes food. eta: I don't mean stealing, I mean hunting. The problem is that once buying food becomes out of reach for most Americans, hunting will become VERY popular and the woods will be filled with yahoos sporting all sorts of weapons. Most will be inept but with that many people shooting at anything that moves at anytime, wildlife populations will be quickly depleted. My Father who learned to hunt during the Depression (not for sport but for family survival) still marvels about how easy it is to take a deer today compared to the 1930s when he would have to trek DEEP into the hills and mountains and sometimes camp for days before he got a shot because deer populations were so low. |
