Is your average joe with a few extra dollars buying gold at these prices?
We see all the gold adds and wonder if we should sell the lawn mower and buy gold.

Buy food (grains, beans, water, etc.). You can't eat gold!!!

But you can trade it for food. Still, you should have food to get over the initial "fall" and gold to get you well into the eventual recovery.

Guns and ammunition, lots of ammunition which can also be traded for food and other stuff, would also be a Good Idea.

Silver might be good for "small purchases".
