If things get that bad.. These are far better

Seeds

Gardening tools

Books on various skills

Enough Small Solar Cells to keep a small radio charged (No Dynamos do not work as you would find yourself too exhausted to crank it at times and an AM radio may be badly needed at that point)

Cheap, effective insulation so a room can be sealed to retain heat.

Fresnel Lenses so you can use the sun to cook or heat something or even to boil water.

Water cleaning supplies..

What you have to understand is that if it gets to the point where you have to rely on "stocks" of items. Thats a depression that will last a decade at least. Because advancements would stagnate and the things needed to get the economy going again would be delayed.
