I consider myself lucky in retrospect to have picked up a good supply of ammo and components last fall and early this year. The prices on many of those items were really outstanding, so it was easy.

I know several people with impressive stashes, but they tend to binge buy during shortages and price spikes. That I don't quite understand. With the exception of a few things, this is the kind of times I build up a cushion for, and I would be highly confident this will pass too.
