You better hurry and stock up before the feds beat to you to it ? read this !

If you follow Ron Paul you know gold is a hedge against inflation. At a later time, you can convert the gold back to more-but-cheaper dollars to buy what you need/want without suffering loss of purchasing power. You don't get "ahead" that way, but at least you stay "whole."

Well, some of that hedge is intended for food and sundries, right?

Any durable/non-perishable/you're-going-to-buy-it-anyways commodity can be used similarly.

Non-perishable, well long-shelf-life food, and sundries -- the stuff you buy anyways -- fits into that commodity description.

Beyond the fear of future shortages, simple old-fashioned shopping prudence dictates stocking up on food and sundries. It used to be called stocking up on sale.

Instead of waiting till you get down to the last roll, you can always buy four 4-roll packs of TP, then buy two more 4-roll packs whenever you get down to the last roll of the first 4-roll pack, thereby creating a surplus at the beginning, and augmenting the surplus at intervals, until you run out of closet space.

You're going to buy the TP anyways right? And you know the cost will be higher in the future right? So even if there's no shortage, you still come out ahead.

The same way squirrels gather nuts for their winter!

Bar soap, shampoo, toothpaste, canned food, special-buy pretzels at $1.49/lb., whatever. That's where my economic-stimulus-package largesse went.

The only downside is curbing your instinctive hand-to-mouth reflex when you have a dozen bags of pretzels in the cupboard.

but a little late to the dance.....

Most that are going to seriously stock up have already started (or even completed) doing so. By the time word hits MSM, it'll be too late to do any good.

long of a period are they speaking, six month supply, one year?
