Some of the most valued items will be ammunition, coffee, and cigarettes. I'd also keep lots of basic spices around. It'll be like the middle ages when a peppercorn was worth it's weight in gold.

If the current systems and norms that run the global economy and society collapses, we will all be living hand to mouth, trading with items that have practical value to us.
I would say canned food would be the new currency.
Chocolates & luxury foods would be the new diamonds.
And i would lose weight.

The Apocalypse as portrayed in the "Left Behind" series is a fantasy, a fiction based not on The Bible, but upon the diseased imaginations lusting for disaster and suffering.
The Book Of Revelations is an allegory about the fall of Nero, intended to reflect the idea that all despots, all empires fall.
Focusing on the End of the World is one of Satan's tricks to keep us from focusing not only on the here and now, but upon our own souls.
There have been Christians awaiting the End of the World since 33 AD, and it hasn't happened yet. There's no indication that it will happen in our lifetimes. All the "Signs of the end times" nonsense is cooked up by folks who haven't even read Revelations completely. The point of the "There will be wars and rumors of wars" passage is that things will be going on as they normally do. The passage also says there will be births and there will be deaths.
Do not focus on a disaster that my or may not happen. Focus on your own soul, for the end of one's own life will surely come, even if the world does not end as described in Revelations.
