Get an electric pressure cooker, like an instant pot, so you can save money and buy dried beans rather than canned.

They are also good for general cooking.

And get a water filter.

Yeah, I guess, although in a real SHTF scenario the power would go out. Perhaps a crock pot as well. Incredibly the tap water where I am is drinkable, but maybe some kind of filter would be an idea just in case.

Or just buy an old school pressure cooker you use on the hob. It's just a bit trickier to get going. They should save fuel because they cook quicker.

Crockpots have the same problem re electricity.

The filter you need now. Some of the guys here can fill you in on glyphosate, fluoride and all the other nasties (and if you get one in the shower you'll have lovely skin and hair).

I'll try to get a pressure cooker I can theoretically use with a fire. We are apparently on underground water, so it doesn't have that shit in it.
