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.

There were some folks who went that route during the great depression. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrows, John Dillinger, etc. Pretty much all of them died in a hail of gunfire and going back further we have the example of the James Gangs raid into Northfield Minnesota.
