Need help on book title

[Dirtshooter]

Hey guys, I am going to show my old age kicking in. I read a book about SHTF about 5-6 years ago and cannot remember the title. The family had been in Walmart and the guy noticed all the checkers having issues, he goes to sporting goods to pickup a few more boxes of ammo, tells his wife to get home, fillup truck if no lines. He went to local hardware store for some added items, he knew the owner well and he let him and a few more to get stuff for later payment. Thanks upfront. Mac

I hope you find that title because it sounds like I'd like to read it.

Was the book kinda newly published when you read it or was it a dog eared old paperback from Goodwill?

That list is a bit more like "How to Survive" than a fiction novel.

My list has some of the same books.

A few years back, I read some of Adrien's (sp?) Undead Diary. On line blog like postings.

Not married, but similar urban style encounters.

If I recall, his home base was an abandoned private college.

Will keep checking in to see if the book is identified.

I read that one...excellent online series...

That sounds a lot like Glen Tate's "299 Days" series. The first 3-4 books of that series were pretty decent.

But there certainly a lot of similarities in this genre.

Thanks for everyone straining your brains. Prag that title is familiar, but I searched some and that isn't it. I have read enough books that my OLD hard drive in brain tends to get them mixed up. Ya'll don't strain your brains too much.

I think the main problem is there have been so many books written on the subject that are similar yet different it is like looking for a needle in a field of haystacks. I hope you find your book again............
