Buy canned tobacco like people get to roll their own, get papers too if you want, canned ill keep longer but after a point i don't think people will bitch about stale tobacco, they just want to smoke.I don’t drink, nor do I smoke...I do drink my fair share of coffee. After reading the entire series by William R Forstchen (One Second After; One Year After; The Final Day) - I’m thinking about adding a few bottles of booze, a few carton of cigs and plenty of coffee for bartering.
Also - the series was recommended by someone on the ODT...if you are looking for a few good reads, these were really good.
For liquor, get pint bottles of the cheapest stuff...same idea, if you re the only game in town and small bottles easier to trade.
buy green coffee beans in cans...or green coffee beans in bags and empty them into buckets without oxygen absorbers...keep in a cool place in sealed buckets...they keep for years and not that hard to roast and grind..
