Turned into kinda a rant: Tl;dr Buy sufficient ammo if you have none, or less than sufficient, otherwise buy food.
If you already have enough ammo, then buy food (if those are your only two choices). Ammo has been steadily going up, and unless we have a boogaloo, or biden really clamps down on guns (even among dems this is difficult) the price right now is fucking ridiculous. I broke down 2 months ago to buy just enough to plink when 556 was 70c/round. Now it's up to a dollar because of fear from biden. But the more people are ok buying at this price, the more ammo companies will be comfortable selling at this price.
They've given us the same song and dance, full capacity yada-yada. We've had an ammo shortage for a fucking YEAR. If someone set up an additional ammo plant they'd make bank, but the big companies aren't playing ball. That involves risk (not much risk, mind you, as there are millions of people like me with a huge demand at a lower price point. If ammo ever gets to decent prices again, I'm buying 100k rounds and never have to worry about not being able to go plinking again.
I stocked up on toilet paper a couple years ago. I'm not sure why, really. I saw it was on sale for half price so I bought 6 of those 72 packs of the triple size rolls. They lasted me about 3 years. I was laughing when those toilet paper shortages came.
I don't see much point in stocking up where I currently live. I'll have to abandon this location pretty fast with whatever I and my car can carry. I need to get some land outside the city.
Yikes. You know, people shit on living in the suburbs, but I know all of my neighbors, most of them are White, except for one Asian family that's cool as shit (we bbq together and bitch about the nog). If Shit really did HTF, I have enough land to till for food, and an 8 foot privacy fence, Vantage points from the roof, I think we'd do ok. Anyway, unless you're waaaay out in the sticks, I'd rather have a community. 1 tiny family alone on a farm with no help for miles sounds like an easy target.
You might, then, want to invest more in a bug out vehicle if you're in a city (particular a blue city)
Yea... you need someone to watch your 6 if you want to survive.
