9) Ammunition is fairly inexpensive right now for certain kinds, so buy it while you still can. Folks who are looking for .22 will tell you the benefit of buying when it is plentiful and cheap.
10) Condiments like ketchup and mustard can sit on the shelves for a while and make an ordinary meal taste a lot better.
13) Lotion can help prevent cracked and chafed skin, which can become a serious problem if left untreated.
14) Chap Stick is more important than many people realize. When you are outside working in cold or windy weather, your lips will become chapped and it can be very painful. Plus, there are many other uses for chap stick.
15) Ziploc Bags will be helpful to store leftover breads and other treats you make, or for keeping socks, tinder, small electronics, etc. dry.
16) OTC Medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen do expire eventually, but the first few years of a post-apocalyptic world will be a little easier if you have them.
17) Sunscreen is very important and needs to be used to prevent serious sunburns that can leave you dehydrated or suffering from heat exhaustion.
18) Flour will make life a little easier. Making flat breads, thickening stews, and baking in general is much better if you have plenty of flour.
19) Feminine Products will be in high demand as women get used to a new way of living without the luxury of feminine hygiene products at the ready.
20) Sugar makes life better all the way around. You want to enjoy the food you eat; not just eat for survival. I know some people will scoff at this, but morale is very important during a disaster.
After looking at this list and seeing what you have stored are you prepared? Was there something on this list that we forgot to mention? If so let us know in the comments below.

I know kleenex and tissues is on the list…but not for the use of toilet paper (which will be worth it’s weight in gold)!!!!
I appreciate the general idea of this but some of these items are a bit frivolous. i.e kleenex. As Seth Hofstetter said, toilet paper will be needed but a runny nose can be cured with a good handkerchief which is reusable and a 6 pack of bandanas is invaluable stuff in so many other ways too. And chapstick and lotion. Just stock up on coconut oil and you have what you need.
