I live with my partner and in-laws on a few acres in the rural US. Right now we both have jobs and are saving as much as we can given the crazy way the world is at the moment.

I make less and am more of a junior professional so it’s likely I would be laid off first in a depression. Given this I’ve been thinking about non monetary ways to contribute.

One obvious one is gardening, which made me realize it might be a good idea to stock up on fertilizer if it went from a hobby to a necessity to grow food.

What other bulk things, or things in general might we stock up on that we would kick ourselves for not buying a lifetime supply of while we can?

Thanks a bunch!

      Hate to say it but I have a bunch in my pantry. I don’t expect Donald to do anything about grocery prices nor the Democrats if they take Congress. Inflation will run rampant until the next economic crash.

        According to many, that’s likely this year - or whenever shareholders finally decide to stop throwing good money after bad at the AI tech bros, which is apparently what’s primarily keeping things going at the moment.
