Do you think as 2012 approaches that the cost of Prepping supplies will get drastically higher? Is it safe to think that one should get the most merchandise for prepping before 2012 gets here as that stuff will be more valuable?

I know there have already been a few threads about school supplies, how expensive they are, etc. We did our supply shopping this week, and I am just absolutely peeved. One of the supplies on DS's list is a particular type of notebook that is not sold anywhere reasonable. The ONLY place this...

I am a teacher. Do you have issues with teachers that want you to supply items for her class (such as Kleenex, Cans of Lysol, wet wipes, copy paper)? I ask each student to bring one of those in addition to all the supplies they will need for class.
