Just to clarify: 1 turn = 1 week. (This is just for planning things like rations; limits/expectations on what you can do in a turn have not changed.)
well, if I can't purchase, I will loot too. Try one last time to buy guns and ammo, in large amounts. Then if that doesn't work, time to do some robbery either way. Loot food by killing looters.
[2 - 1] Nope. Nothing here you can buy. You almost got scammed again, but you're not willing to let that happen
again.[2] And the gun stores you tried robbing were all empty! If only you lived in Texas.
[6 - 1 (no weapon)] But robbing looters of their food was fruitful, even without a weapon. Fueled by your anger at the apparent complete lack of anything resembling a gun, you gather up
2 weeks of food and water.

Defend my neighbours from looters, using any nearby weapon I have in my vicinity.
[2] Nope. No weapons here.
[3 - 1 (no weapon)] Without a weapon, your attempts go mostly in vain. You're smart enough to back off when looters point guns at you, though, so at least you don't get hurt. Because you have no food stored, the looters don't really seem to be that interested in your house. Mostly. You make a note to fix those broken windows once the apocalypse is over.

Sorry, I'am late to the party.
1.Buy a AR-15 or any related gun.
2. Stock up on ammo
3.Go to gun range and practice a bit
4. Go to local grocery store and pick up food and water.
[4] You came pretty prepared, with
$70,000 saved.
[4 - 1] You can't find an AR-15, but you do find a
M1911 Pistol for the
amazing price of
$1,000. Supply and demand sure can sting sometimes.
[1 - 1] ...But it has no ammo. Like, at all. The pistol came with no ammo and you can find zero ammo anywhere. So now your pistol is somewhat useless for the moment.
[4 - 2] The grocery store appears to be on fire from looting. You decide it's best that you do not go into a flaming building to find food.

Another late arriver arrives!
1. Acquire a nail gun through amazon.com
2 Fortify my house
3: Use yard tools to dig below my basement for the setup for a bunker
4: Study hydroponic technology, or learn anyway to build indoor farms though the last days of the internet
[4] You double-check your savings and the
$70,000 you have saved up is still safe.
[2 - 1] You were hopeful when you ordered the nail gun for
$200, but when it arrived the box was empty. Damn it.
[2] House fortifying does not go well. Your supplies consisted of apparently extremely low-grade wood, and that proved to be your undoing. Despite your best efforts, this wood (and similar materials) just couldn't be used as reinforcements.
[4] The digging, on the other hand, goes well. Luckily you didn't buy your yard tools from the same place you got that wood. You now have a
small excavated room. Unfortunately, without any reinforcements, it's quite
unsturdy. Not unsturdy enough to collapse spontaneously, but enough for it to be a problem of note.
[3] You can't find enough information on hydroponics, but you think you learn how to make a basic indoor farm. You should probably get at least one
sun lamp, some (small)
planters, lots of
water,
basic gardening supplies like tools for weeding, fertilizer, and the like. And obviously
seeds.

1. Pray for divine assistance
2. Beat a looter and steal it's food
3. Start your journey to an isolated lake and mountain you remember having visited on your childhood.
[1] It sure is a shame you only saved up
$10,000.
[5] But you pray for divine assistance. Nothing seems to happen at first, but you feel a bit more
[lucky].
[3 + 1] You find a random looter on the streets. They look like they're trying to fix their very broken car. You surprise them with a couple punches, kicks, more punches, more kicking, and so on and so forth. Eventually you search their car to reveal
3 weeks of food and water.
[5 + 1] You just barely manage to those rations you "acquired" onto your back, and start making your way to the isolated lake and mountain via the somehow-still-running public transit. Eventually you start having to hike up the mountain, but by the end of the week you arrive. It's completely isolated from civilization. You decide to set up "camp" (read: choose to sleep) at the edge of the lake, which also happens to be by a forest.
Though when arriving at the lake, you start to feel your luck to subside. Somehow. It was useful while it lasted.

Jack a bulldozer
Find a bat
Board up my windows.
[6] It sure is a shame you're not using your
$100,000 of saved up cash this week.
[6] You find a recently-diseased construction worker (probably looters) in a still-running bulldozer. You push them off and nab the bulldozer and drive it to the front of your house. But when getting off, your overexcited hop yields a
[sprained ankle]. It shouldn't last too long though.
Do mind the gas, though. Bulldozers guzzle gas.
[2] Your luck comes to an end as you are unable to find any bats anywhere. Not even the baseball fields.
Whyy?[1] As you're trying to board up the windows, you accidentally board up your thumb. Ow. Your
[broken thumb] makes it too painful to continue. Instead, you sit and contemplate ways to stop hurting yourself.

Try to acquire desalinators and bio-fuel processors again as well as guns. See if anyone wants to volunteer to serve on my ship in exchange for safety and food.
[5 - 1] Desalinators, check. You pay
$6,000 buying a large one that should be able to keep your water needs under control.
[1 - 1] Bio-fuel processors are
really hard to find, apparently. You almost got scammed again but you're not willing to let the same thing happen twice.
Luckily your yacht only really needs gas to power things on board it.
Like the desalinator.
[1 - 1] But apparently you're not smart enough to do the same for guns. You're scammed of
$5,000 as you fail to find any guns at all.
[5] Your recruitment drive yields 3 people willingly coming on board. Keep in mind you're going to have to keep them fed and hydrated as well.

1. Grab all the food from my already well stocked house.
2. Take my grandfathers machete, a blanket, and a couple lighters.
3. Head out into the woods. No looters in the woods, right?
[6] Well, look who's rich. You have
$100,000 saved up.
[4] You grab the
1 week of food and water conveniently stored in your house.
[5] As well as your
machete and
blanket and lighters.
It sure is convenient you have all this stored in your house. But unfortunately there is actually zero things left in your house at this point.
[3] You head to the woods. It has trees and is quite woods-y. Nothing much more to say here. It's the woods.

1) Go out and spend soon-to-be-worthless money on stuff which hopefully isn't very high looter priority: books, tools and construction materials, medicines, seeds and farming implements, toilet paper and soap, etcetera. Essentially, convert all cash into hopefully more valuable assets of all sorts.
2) Call up any nearby friends and family, invite them over for the duration. Bonus if they bring their own food. With their help, fortify house to a hopefully less looter-vulnerable state.
3) Use any spare time to print off as much of Wikipedia as possible. The useful pages, at any rate.
[3 - 1] You can't locate any stores selling the more general goods you were looking for, such as books, toilet paper, and more.
[4 - 1] Tools and construction materials are bought for
$10,000, and should hopefully come in handy when constructing anything.
[1 - 1] You try to buy medicine, but it turns out that medicine was the first thing looters went for in this city. You're robbed of
$5,000 that you took to buy the medicine, just to add insult to injury.
[4 - 1] Some seeds and tools for farming are easily purchased for
$4,000.
[1] You call over a friend of yours. They never arrive, and investigation shows that they were killed by a looter and anything useful was stripped from their corpse. The rest of your family and friends aren't even responding to calls.
[5] You print out as much as you can from wikipedia on important things, starting at survival. Eventually you run out of ink and apparently ink was
very quickly looted from stores. But you think that the existing pages you printed will help a lot. In fact, you think it makes you more

The media is reporting that with the collapse of supply chains, sources of commercially-available food have completely dried up. It looks like people are going to have to start relying on their stockpiled food, or else they'll have to find alternative methods of finding it. However, looting has subsided too, with a dwindling supply of things to loot.
There was also a curious mention of some kind of infectious disease spreading in some smaller towns.
