I'm writing this as a crude guide from the perspective of "how can you prepare with the bare minimum amount of $ so that you (generally) could stay home w/o having to leave your house for an extended period of time."
TL;DR: a bare minimum shopping list ~$130.
Food and water for 1 person for 30 days...
or 2 people for 15 days or 3 people for 10 days.
This is meant to be a bare-bones, cheap list to give you ideas. Not a balanced diet, but it will keep you alive. I wrote this to show how inexpensive it could potentially be. I checked prices and labels at Walmart and on Amazon for the following numbers:
$30 – 30 gals of water
$10 – (3x) 117oz cans baked beans (11,700 cal)
$12 – 20lb bag of rice (32,320 cal)
$20 – 36oz Butter powder (7650 cal)
$38 – 4lbs Dry whole milk (9065 cal)
This will give you just over 2000 cal, 55g of protein, and 45g of fat (per day) for 30 days for 1 person.
Or a family of 3 for 10 days. The math is easy.
Why buy extra food NOW?
Because based on the QClock it is very clear that 'something,' some society-disrupting event could come, maybe even this week. I have no idea what. But do I know that "major society-disrupting events" and food shortages could go hand-in-hand.
Weeks before the July 13 'attempt,' I posted that that date was one of the days that was a BIG deal on the QClock. (Unsure why exactly at the time.)
Two days ago I posted that the QClock pointed to HUGE happenings this coming week.
(Update: it was the August 6th Ukrainian invasion of Kursk, Russia. Russian territory invaded with NATO weapons & tanks.)
Based on my research I believe things will go in this order:
-1 Market plunge & War
-2 Dome of the Rock (mosque) destroyed
-3 (Chemical?) weapon/plague
-4 Sleeper cell activation - 'Drones' or...?
-5 More fuckery
-6 More fuckery
I'm giving my opinion here because if you see some of the above events, you will remember you read this on GAW and you will have a better idea of "what might come next."
That tiny bit of information, a few days in advance, can be life-saving for you and your family.

Edit: By "society disrupting" I meant on the level of (although different than) Covid's "two weeks to flatten the curve" etc...
Edit 2: This post is mainly for the people who's morale gets hit whenever they look at the prices of food and don't think they have enough money to food prep.
If you have a bunch of people to feed and virtually no money; get jugs of water and bags of rice.
To my knowledge rice is by far the most calories per dollar you can get.
$.75 = 1 pound of rice is 1600 cal. That and any cheap vitamin C supplement to prevent scurvy and you could stay alive for months. Add butter (fat) and beans (protein) if you can afford it. Don't skimp on the water.
A $15 camping stove and some propane.
Please look in your refrigerator and ask yourself how long your family could realistically go. Grab 20 jugs of water and a 20 pound bag of rice from Walmart on your way home tomorrow. That's $33 and 10+ days you and your spouse could eat for.
Food security is extremely important and IF you find you are NOT prepared, DON'T come home from work tomorrow without something, anything.
#AugustHeat
I've made these preparations and more, I just worry about what happens when my supplies run out and there is no return to normalcy.
Get your tar and feathers and torches and go visit those in power who caused this and ask if they have some sugar you can borrow
We wait for the return of our Lord to Rapture us up into Heaven. Put on your full armor of God.
Even Yeshua said the EXACT opposite of this, and taught us this parable:
Matthew 25
The Parable of the Ten Virgins
25 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
10 “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
11 “Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’
12 “But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’
13 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
Matthew 24:36-51
No One Knows the Day or Hour
36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.
Amen. Yes I remember this parable. Always be ready. He even told Joseph to prepare for the seven bad years. I have been ready for the last 4 years when I got on this board. I not only have food supplies, but medicine, emergency heat, water and a way to save and clean water. An emergency cooking stove, a washtub and scrubboard, candles, oil lamps, flashlights, matches, and outdoor LED lights. Personal items of soap, shampoo, toothpaste and cleaning supplies. Razors and blades, toilet paper, dish soap and laundry soap. Garbage bags, spare tools and rope, small tent, bug out bags. It's all there because God gave me a 'heads up' too.
P.S. I never said don't prepare. Did you read the reply from TNBanjoMan? He asked what do we do when we run out of food? That is why I said what I said.
SHTF 101…you take and ask forgiveness later
Unless you didn't prepare yourself and are trying to take from somebody that prepared for their family. In that case, you deserve the lead poisoning you'll likely receive.
Yup and don’t talk about how much you’ve prepared to your neighbors. You just put a target on your back to the guy that has a gardener and maid that forgot to prep cause his 85 inch TV purchase
Some booby traps are only illegal if they are discovered.
In SHTF, they usually only get 'discovered' by bad guys if you're smart about it.
If you have land, post no trespassing signs every 100 feet.
Not all effective booby traps are lethal.
Think bear spray.
Keep your children in mind.
I can't recommend doing something against the law.

I have to feed my pigs somehow. Come and pay me a visit weary traveler.
😆😂😆 Seen a job vacancy recently. Counselling sexual deviants. I own pigs.... Friend "yeah don't take that job...you have the means now" 😆😂😆
When SHTF, the ones who try to loot are very likely to die by the very prepared prepper or by other unprepared looters trying to loot.
