How can an ordinary housewife prepare for a national monetary collapse?

I live in an area of frequent & dangerous storms and have emergency supplies & personal medications ready to go.

Today I am planning how to take our average family funds and use them knowing they may may not be worth as much tomorrow.

Basic food stocks,home and car repairs, etc.  are obvious.  But should I take today's saved dollar and pay down future credit card debts? Will roaring inflation make me wish I had held onto every last dollar?

I'm used to "once in a century" floods, fires, storms.  But needing bags of money to buy bread...?? It has happened. And it's to late to buy gold & jewels even if I could afford it.Laughing

Looking forward to your help?Innocent
