I would bet that we will see some degree of inflation. The question will be "how much inflation and how long will it last?" I have always had a three month supply of grub and water. Had to restock as the old stuff was bloating the cans. Seems that spam has a very long shelf life as does canned chili. Distilled water is the only way to go because it will last almost indefinitey as compared to spring water. I would shy away from the MRE's that people sell at gun shows and such. They are rejects from the military and some have had sealing problems. they are over priced anyway. Tuna fish is pretty good and i buy it when it is on sale for 2 cans for a dollar. So if the crap hits the fan you are all welcome to dine here so long as you like creative dishes made out of tuna, spam and canned chili....
