Barter Goods
Look around your home for items that you would be lost without if you could no longer make a quick trip to the corner store to buy more. Those items should then be added to your barter goods list. While it is not necessary to have everything on this list, there may be a few items that you are able to get at a really good price and be able to store for future barter.
In fact, if room is at a premium, why not pick up a storage tote and then start saving your barter goods in there. For instance, if you come upon a clearance sale on packets of needles for 50¢ a pack, then grab a handful to toss in your Trade Goods Tote.
