[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, are you guys all worried about a nuclear attack? I’m not, but if you are and you want to plan for it you need a goodly stick of food that needs no heating or cooking and water (a month). If that happens you’ll be in your basement with no electricity and no way to make a fire, because you won’t be able to vent it to the outside (all cracks etc need to be sealed with plastic to prevent radiation getting in).

That’s a whole other level of planning and worry! Unwarranted, I think.[/quote]

I *think* think OP was worried about inflation?  (If so, I’m not sure she understands inflation). The other preppers seem worried about something else. Though I’m not sure what. [/quote]

DP: My understanding of inflation is that prices will go up and a dollar will not go as far. If the number of dollars I have is stable, it is more cost effective for me to buy two huge jars of peanut butter today, because if I only buy one, buying a second jar when I actually need it will be much more expensive.  Prices are already rising (along with profits) and multiple issues from war to shipping costs are likely to increase prices.  
tldr: Stocking up now has merit.

PP, what else should I understand about inflation as I try to make my dollars holler going forward? [/quote]

America is set to increase the price of commodities by 20% this summer. If people don’t want to prepare it’s their choice. OP, you’re smart to stick up now to cut the inflation increases. [/quote]
