> Economic collapse or apocalypse, you'll want food, medicine, and alcohol (possibly the most barterable good, also delicious).

Also:

Potassium iodide in case of nuclear fallout ($9 for 2-week supply)

Chlorine dioxide for water purification ($10 for 1-week supply)

Both are pretty shelf stable (4-6 years) so you don't need to keep buying them.

Sorry, yeah I just mean they last long enough that it's not like you're constantly buying them.
