I live with my partner and in-laws on a few acres in the rural US. Right now we both have jobs and are saving as much as we can given the crazy way the world is at the moment.

I make less and am more of a junior professional so it’s likely I would be laid off first in a depression. Given this I’ve been thinking about non monetary ways to contribute.

One obvious one is gardening, which made me realize it might be a good idea to stock up on fertilizer if it went from a hobby to a necessity to grow food.

What other bulk things, or things in general might we stock up on that we would kick ourselves for not buying a lifetime supply of while we can?

Thanks a bunch!

    Agreed on the pressure cooker. It also does wonders with chicken and beef to drastically reduce cook time.

    Personally, I have two devices— a pressure cooker and a separate rice cooker, and I like that setup because I occasionally need to use both to cook a meal. But if you want to save the space or don’t have need to use them simultaneously, a multifunction device like an Instant Pot is a good investment.
