lol I assumed everyone that shops at Costco would know the term. It's a recently popularized term that refers to people who either gather/store supplies for emergencies (which everyone should) or people who prepare specifically for some kind of disaster that will probably happen in the near future (typically used in a derogatory manner). I think it can be a hobby too (collecting tools and weapons is fun XD), but that's my personal view on it. I suppose it's slightly better than wasting money on completely useless stuff. Anyway, it's made Costco very popular among the prepper communities because you can get stuff that you use everyday, but in bulk to store for emergencies and save money. Yup, prepping makes sense financially, if you get stuff that you're sure to use up anyway, and/or if you expect inflation (which we should, as the Fed has indicated).
You are so right! Once i hopefully move back to the country next summer , with steemits help that is ! Lol! I will definately be buying more in bulk as its an hour drive to town, from Beaverdell so stocking up and "prepping "as you explained so well , will be a number one priority! As Beaverdell is also up in the mountains and we quite often do get snowed in or we need to wait at times for plows to go through , at least i will have food to eat lol! And could actually last a few months if need be especially in the winter! Or even if the car is broke down! Thanks for all the info! Steem on! ♨🖒👍♨
