A lot of drugs can be purchased outright for reasonable prices using Good RX. Go to GoodRX.com and check the costs of your prescriptions.
I recently used some Crisco that expired in 2015. Not because i had to. Fried some eggs. it was fine :-)
Hey Norton,
Thanks for the new sub-forum.
Might want to move the thread on antibiotics from the water cooler to over here.

I've built a very good supply of things over the years studying events from snow storms , earthquakes , Hurricanes , civil disobedience and events around the world , I'm a little short on only hand sanitizer but have ample soap and was my hands often . A big plus is that I got out of the DC Metropolitan area to my place in Tennessee were we don't need to be in contact with people but maybe once a week or so and have locked the gate so if someone wants to come to my door it's on foot . I have a contractor job box next to my mail box for packages and the mail carrier and UPS FedEx all know to put it in and lock it with the locks in side and with tracking I know when it's in .
Remember to never talk about what you have put up you don't want all those that dismissed your idea of stocking up to show up wanting you to feed them , Have a a good amount of cash but not a lot of big bills , Have a supply of silver if cash becomes worthless , Ammo is also currency too , Beans Bullets and Bandages

A lot to be said for depending on yourself.
I’m guessing we ain’t too far...exit 21 on US40 inside NC.
Be well. Stay safe.

Understand where you are coming from. Before whenever a purchase of ammo,weapons or other necessities,her comment was" do you really that". Now it is a different story. She sees that our world is changing rapidly and not for the better. Good to have a little more of what you may need then not.

When prepping set goals that you can meet , Like start with a extra week of food , then 2 then 3 till you have 6 months , Then move to the long term food the freeze dried stuff , Always remember to buy food you'll eat not random stuff , I bought the single meals to try before I invested in the bulk packs . Get a good strong free standing shelf to start storing it on and always new to the rear , With the can goods don't just stock them Eat them but replace them , Keep a eye on expiration date and understanding that it's gone bad past that date it's just not as fresh tasting , When the store has a BOGO on something you use take advantage of it same for 10 for 10.00 and things like that , You usually find these deals on the end caps or as you come in the store .
Most likely those already here know this but for anyone getting started or helping a friend or family member to prep.
Prep for the everyday “disasters” first. Things like power outages, winter storms, losing a job, etc.
Make a starter blackout kit. Led headlamps, flashlights, lantern, and batteries. Add rechargeable batteries later.
Build your food stores as you can. Know what you consume each week or month. Eat 1 can of green beans a week the buy 2 next time. 1 to replace the 2nd to store.
Water is critical. Get creative; save your 2 liter soda bottles or get them from someone that does and start there. You’ll likely need more than 1 gal/ person/ day. Especially for hot weather and sanitation. Add larger storage, purification, and collection methods as you can.
Sanitation is key. No need getting ill during an event. Have a plan on how and where to do your business and keep clean. Options abound depending on your lication - city, burbs, or rural.
Build an emergency fund. Cash on hand and savings.
Store some fuel for vehicles if you can do so safely. Label your fuel containers and rotate your cans monthly. Dump old gas in the vehicle, take can to the next trip. Fill the vehicle and gas can. Add Stabil Storage or Pri-D or Pri-Gto help it last.
Have an alternate heat source like wood stove or propane heater(Big Buddy).
Have an alternate energy source. Battery bank, generator, or get an inverter you can attach to your vehicle. You may have to idle your car to not run down the battery. But consider it a $30,000 generator with wheels sitting outside your house. Oh and you already store fuel, right?
Good to see this forum here. I do miss a few things in MD. This forum and members i’ve met and befriended are some of those.

Don’t want to forget otc and prescription meds. Get some cpr, first aid, and trauma training.
Add skills since you’ll have these with you all the time. Grow some food, general home repair, vehicle maintenance, etc. Share your skills with others that are interested and learn from others that have skills you don’t.
Communities will do far better than any individual during a crisis.

That facility only accounts for 4-5% of pork production in the US. I found kunzler hams last week for 2.98 lb and bought two of them before I heard about this. I cut them up and vacuum sealed them this weekend.
