Yah, if I had waited to begin prepping today I would have been screwed by now too. The only reason I can still continue "prepping" today is really because I started 20-some years ago when prices were much, much lower and I can simply rotate the supplies after using the oldest ones before they spoil. Now that my family is onboard with prepping it makes it easier and more affordable to rotate the stockup. Sadly lots of Americans, including many I personally knew, refused to heed the warnings over the years and now they are struggling because of it. If you want to survive on something cheap just stock up lots of flour, rice and beans. Make sure you have a source or supply of fresh water too, even if you have to collect rain water in buckets at some point.
