Example:
If a blackout occurs, your immediate thought might be bottled water. DO NOT RUSH TO THE STORE. It will be chaos, and that is what they want. Instead try and find a local natural spring water source. Grab as many containers as possible and fill them. You’ll likely be the only person there. Fresh water will be necessary for survival and driving to a store may not always be available. Fill up bathtubs when you feel necessary.

Even if you roll your eyes at the term "prepper" you might want to give it a thought for a few minutes. Yea, total societal breakdown is a stretch to consider, yet having a few basic prepping items around the house would not hurt, nor would it break the household budget. A few cans of tuna, some bottled water, some rolls of toilet paper. It's not much but it could get you over the hump in a emergency, like a natural disaster or a bridge to the grocery store has fallen down.
2-3 weeks worth of nonperishables.
That’s a great start, but I think 2-3 months, if possible, is better. Just buying a few extra cans or box of pasta each week accumulates pretty quickly.
