Stay safe out there.

This is why you pay with cash at multiple different hardware stores, or - and this is the most effective - simply make sure you're prepared from the start, acquiring each of these as you need them normally and regularly restocking the consumables, meaning you're always ready to hide a body.

Two rules:
1: two is one, one is none.
B- always have a spare.
Anything you consider absolutely essential for something, you should have 3 on hand.
- Like chikdren and spouses!
- I like to mix and match my lists as well.
I feel like paying with cash is getting suspicious these days. I have gone to several cities in the past few years where they have said cash is no longer accepted. I hated it, but sadly, I think that's going to be everywhere eventually.
- Stealing from unlocked sheds it is, then
I carry all of them in my truck at all times.
Then there is my machete and a bunch of knives.
Aka work tools.

At Harbor Freight, “Want some zip ties with that?”

Wrong. You can also do that before a snow storm.

It's kind of a honorary cold hurricane.

Walter White says to buy things at different places. Seems less suspicious.

I feel like with so many cameras they will still find you and it will be more suspicious, but I guess it depends if they can tie you to the victim in some other way.
- Shop at local mom & pop stores that have no security cameras. No cameras and you're supporting the local economy instead of big corpo interests.
- That is why you travel by foot/public transit from a good distance away, covered up, and without a cell. Arrive at the back of the lot where the day workers congregate and make the offer for more cash than what the purchase costs to an individual to go inside and purchase some items. Ideally, you'll want to spread these purchases across multiple jurisdictions, days (or more), wearing different coverings, and mixing in nondescript items with the purchases. If the first individual refuses, leave and make an attempt elsewhere, don't make this memorable.

Thanks to self-checkout, no one ever questions anything. Thank God.

My home depot now has self checkout in an open area with a few “cashiers” standing by to “assist”.
It’s like you’re checking out on a game show.

Idk where yall live, but literally noone would question me for buying these things. I've bought bulk amounts of caustic soda (~3kg) and the cashier didn't even ask me why I needed so much.

You are definitely on a list somewhere.
- Ye om on a watch list, so I'll go and collect my watch tomorrow :)

No ones ever questioned me about it.

I get it, but what is the rope for?

It's revealing that I immediately assumed this was a suicide joke instead of a murder joke

It would take quite a complex plan to roll up in the tarp, then tape that and bury yourself.
- The Russians can probably manage it they're an ingenious people apparently
- Yes, but that’s the cost of being considerate

Yeah, but, fuck Florida.

You have to get a few bags of lime with the order
