Lets say TS is about to HTF and you go shopping
 
Just curious what everyone would buy with about $500 and a couple hours of lead time.

To narrow down the discussion, assume that you will be heading back to your home to shelter in place. Home would have a good couple weeks of food and basic tools and supplies. You think the scenario will be really bad for a week or two, but do not know how long it may go on.

Ammo, because you can't ever have enough and more pm's for the same reason. Otherwise, I'm already prepared for AHBL with food and gear.
