There are many, many things we take for granted. Common household items like toilet paper, for example, will be worth its weight in gold post-SHTF.
Take the time to think about it. When the grid goes down, and the stores are bought out or looted the trucks, planes, and trains that used to bring items in the states will become few and far between. They'll be much too concerned about safety to frequently bring in new supplies.
Depending on the SHTF situation that's going on, you and family members may need to sit it out in a shelter or bug out home for several weeks or more. If this is the case relying on everything you have stockpiled is key for comfort and survival.
Eventually after the coast is clear other people who did not prepare themselves for a post-SHTF situation will ask you if they can “borrow” a few thing. At first, you may give them an item or two, but you won't be able to continue doing that for long.
To stay ahead before Doomsday arrives, check out these pivotal 20 items that currently are inexpensive, but as soon as SHTF takes place, you better believe these things will be priceless.

All Good…..Whiskey & Vodka too for Bartering.

Invest in precious metals and youll get whatever you need, im investing in lead to be sure of that….
Bic lighters
Affordable and inexpensive are a little misleading.Ammo,cigarettes,alcohol,medications,etc. Are far from inexpensive.
Toilet paper
Betty Hall
I can make do without everything on that list except the ammo gotta have that
Skip the flour and buy a grain mill. Whole wheat will store much longer and is much better for you than bleached flour.
SALT, SALT AND SALT. Seasoning, disinfectant, and meat preservation, plus, you will die without salt.
Hand tools and ammunition…
What’s it for? I’ve never used it
I’m getting ready. Got my faraday cage,dolor panels, water,dried food and canes goods. Oh yeah my gun. Lol
Ocean is full of salt no problem
Believe it or not,,,,I’ve hit up recycle bins and have a couple hundred big phone books,,,may come in handy for that
Anything that is imported.you’ll never see again.coffee, sugar,when the bell rings…..
Well, some of us are not near the ocean.
Buildings are built one brick at a time.
A trip to Sams Club or Costco will net a bunch of bulk items like rice, beans, salt, flour, and sugar, plus spices and such. Get 5 gallon buckets with lids, mylar bags, and O2 absorbers for long term storage.
Buildings are built on foundations….at times it seems like they are attempting to build a house from the roof down.
Every community started by having a core small group of like minded people.. And that is what individual survival helps ensure… You survive long enough and well enough to connect with other like minded people
I still think K in a world with s expanding population of over 7 billion plus survivability would pivot upon the viability of much larger groups…my thoughts.
I like #7….lol….”7) Cheap Wine is easy to come by and will store forever. After fighting all day, a nice glass of wine will go a long way toward calming the nerves.”
Salt and pepper
Twinkies according to Zombieland.
Powder milk would work too

Invest in alcohol & tobacco best value on black market ?
So everyone is cold, hungry, without any modern luxury, or utilities, and you think people are going to be like wow you have a chunk of “precious metal” let me trade you everything for that. Precious metals don’t mean$#%&!@*in a doomsday society. Sorry but give it a little thought and I’m sure you will agree.
This religion mentality always seemed psychotic to me.
