We are doing an intentional stock up around here, both groceries and household items. It's annoying and expensive, and I've become convinced that the imprecision of guesswork (unless you run a VERY tight ship- we do not), the not-eternal shelf life of most things, and the reality that consumables are just shitty investments, in general, mean that this is not really recommended as a FINANCIAL hedge. You are more likely to lose money than gain it- the margins are just thin and the wrong guesses on needs add up quickly. Thus, I'm not recommending this as an inflation dodge except for things that you absolutely, definitely run through on a 3-month cycle (and in those cases you'll wish you bought more even though storage space is limited. There's no winning 🤷‍♀️ ) That huge caveat aside, what I do think stocking up is useful for is preparedness in the event of disruptive emergencies, and just generally to keep your household flowing in weird times. In THAT sense: what are you storing NOW?
