Here is a list that a group put together of the 100 things that will disappear first. By no means is it a complete list.....but perhaps it will get you thinking on what items really matter the most...and which may be of most use for bartering when the time comes.
Enzio Bushe said, "Frequently I am asked, 'What were the most valuable item in the days of starvation in Germany?' ....As for what we needed, the food item we reled on most was vegetable oil. With a bottle of vegetable oil, one could acquire nearly every other desire able item. It has such value that with a quart of vegetable oil one could probably trade for three bushels of apples or three hundred pounds of potatoes. Vegetable oil has a high calorie content, is easy to transport, and in cooking can give a tasty flour to all kinds of food items that one would not normally consider as food - wild flowers, wild plants, and roots from shrubs and trees. For me and my family, a high- quantity vegetable oil has the highest priority in our food storage, both in times of daily use and for emergency use. When vegable oil is well-packed and stored appropriately, it has a long storage life without the necessity of refrigeration. We found ours to be in very good condition after twenty year of storage, but circumstances may vary in different countries and with different supplies." (F. Encio Bushce Ensign, June 1982)
Charles W. Nibley related how the saints survived in the Cashe Valley During the winter of 1860 and said that "Eggs and Butter were the chief currency of the county. There was not such thing as money." (Pioneer Stores, pp. 87-88)
F. Enzion Busche said,"...so long as there survives more than one family, there will be trading of valuable items. A free market will begin immediately to satisfy the need of the people, and items in greated demand will set the price, bypassing the use of mange." (Ensign, June 1982 pp. 17-18)
