How much money are you willing to tie up in prep supplies that you may never use?
It is all more or less an insurance policy. It is like life insurance or long term care insurance - you might get it but you hope you don't need it. But, how much are you willing to pay for it? I know a lot of people will reason away that they will be using their prep supplies. Example: Say a person that spends $2,500 on a small solar generator and solar panels for a grid down event probably purchased something that will not be needed very often if at all, and if he was thinking of short term outages, there are much cheaper better options.
