Part of my “prepping” over the years was buying crazy stockpiles of non-perishable goods.
My main concern was the long supply chains that could be disrupted at any time—but it turned out that inflation has been a bigger issue.
My purchases of such items are rare but as you say it is sticker shock for sure.
The DC gaslighters hope we are stupid.
Yes, I have stocked up also, but apparently didn’t factor in what the prices would go up to on some of our daily purchases. Had I known....I would have had a closet full of deodorant, cups, laundry items, etc. Toilet paper, light bulbs, paper towels...I have a ton of those items along with canned grocery goods. It really is insane how much some daily use items have gone up! Thanks O’Biden, democrats & RINO’s. They all make me very angry these days.
