Quiet Before the Storm? Checking Shelves for Panic Buying + Budget Prepper Haul

With talk of a government shutdown and EBT payments being disrupted, I wanted to see if panic buying had already started — so I hit Walmart and Dollar Tree to check the shelves for myself.

👉 The good news: shelves were still full in my area.
👉 The better news: prices on pantry staples are the lowest they’ve been all year.

This is exactly the kind of calm-before-the-storm moment when preppers quietly add to their stockpile — not out of fear, but out of foresight.

Here’s what I grabbed today:
🟢 Walmart: Green beans & corn (just $0.50 a can!), dried milk, beans, and rice.
🟠 Dollar Tree: Salt, shelf-stable milk, and canned kidney beans.

These are all simple, affordable ways to build real food security while everyone else waits for the next crisis to hit.
You don’t need panic — you just need a plan.

💬 Be the prepared family, not the panicked masses.
