77 things that Stores run out of in an emergency situation.

I have been thinking more about preparedness again. With the storm Sandy that hit the East Coast, and all the devastation it caused, once more my thoughts have turned to how can I better prepare?

I came across this great post  from Self Reliance by Jamie of things that stores run out of quickly in an emergency.

Here are the top 10 items:

1. WATER

2. batteries

3. flashlights

4. ice

5. candles

6. matches

7. toilet paper

8. paper plates & paper towels

9. heavy duty aluminum foil

10. water filters

I found a lot of the items at the $ store to jump-start the list. 

You might have a lot of these items at home.  I have been selling things on our Facebook 24/7 yard sale site to buy the items on this list. It’s amazing all the stuff you collect and don’t really need.
