Times of the oil boom completely disaccustomed Russians to make reserves. And completely in vain. It is useful, practical, economical. Today, when prices practically every day demonstrate a new anti-record, and sanctions threaten the disappearance of certain goods from the shelves, the stock of products in the house is simply necessary. But what to store? After all, you can not turn an apartment into a pantry, where here and there are stacks of sacks of cereals, sugar and other goods.
A supply of food for the year: what can be scarce
Crisis is another reason to fill a first aid kit. No, you do not need to buy medicines in packs, but the standard set, which should be in any home and which is usually neglected, is absolutely necessary. To say that prices for imported drugs will grow is unnecessary, because it is so obvious. And some of the usual medicines will disappear altogether from the shelves, even if the country is not covered by a new wave of sanctions. Therefore, to buy, of course, paying attention to the expiration date, you need antipyretic, antiviral, analgesic, expectorant, antibiotics and other, often used, drugs. The shelf life of most of these medicines is from 2 to 5 years. With this in mind, you need to create your own personal list.
Waiting for a shortage of food is not worth it, but rising prices can not be avoided, so food products should also be stockpiled.
A stock of products that should be heavily increased
The perfume will grow sharply in price - it is practically all imported in Russia, and rare domestic production lines do not differ in quality. Will rise in price household appliances. It is often produced domestically, but from imported components. They are often produced in Asia, but not in Europe, but contracts are usually expressed in dollars, less often in euros. Moreover, in relation to other currencies, the ruble has also quite strongly subsided. True, it is not worth buying equipment for future use, but if the purchase was already planned, then it's time to acquire the desired.
You should also store food. In any case they will be in demand, unlike additional washing machines. According to experts, ahead of the market, grow in price will be apples, peasant butter, cheese and fish. However, it is impossible to store fruit for a long time without having a special room. But butter and fish will be suitable for billets only in frozen form. You can make canned fish from fish, but it is laborious and uneasy without experience. Therefore, you need to buy what is stored for a long time, because inflation will not leave without attention to any product. Cereals and vermicelli, which need to be roasted (fried) before long-term storage, sugar, spices, dried fruits, egg powder and milk powder, and also canned food should be bought first. These products can be stored at the rate of annual consumption.
If incomes are expressed in rubles and allow you to make stocks, then you can buy socks, tights, turtlenecks, woolen sweaters and homemade robes that will always be useful.
When planning a strategic supply of products, one must remember that the rush demand caused by an artificial shortage, like, for example, happened to buckwheat, exaggerates the prices for such a height, with which they inevitably have to fall.
