Damn bro, that sounds painful. Yup, everybody sounds stocked up to me. Don't forget your local coin store. Ask for Roosevelt's or Mercury dimes. Precious metals will always be money. Smaller denominations are easily tradable. Keep your powder dry.
Money isn’t worth shit. Invest in lead and brass, preferably combined for ease of use. A stash of med supplies, food and booze, for trading fodder.
Mercury dimes are 90% silver 10% copper. If you find yourself in a shit hit the fan situation and you have to bug out, I hope you have a roll of them in your pocket for the road. Precious metals have been currency since prehistory. In that situation, if I had a stockpile of food and you rolled by hungry, I would trade with you for the dimes. I don't recommend investing in gold right now, not even fractionals (cheaper/mixed.)
I view a complete meltdown as currency being supplies. Your silver, gold, coins and whatnot will be worthless. There will be nowhere to exchange them for goods and services. I have acces to fresh water. Can build a fire and cook. Stores of food. Room to grow more. Ammo. Guns. More ammo. Planning to stock up on booze. Cheap plastic half gallons. Catch them on sale for $12. They will be gold when the time comes. It doesn’t go bad, and everyone wants booze and drugs when the SHTF.
