Yep, look into Fish antibiotics.

Fish Mox = Amoxicillin
Fish-Flox = Ciprofloxacin
Fish-cin
Fish-zole
Fish-Flex
Fish-cillin

Also

Bird-sulfa
Bird-biotic

These are your most basic antibiotics that you would need to get you through a major SHTF.

Buying antibotics is like hieroglyphics to me. What are semi decent prices on this stuff? For example- a website has Fish Mox 250mg 100ct for $18.99 but another site has regular Amoxicillin 250mg 100ct for $8.99. No idea what is a decent price for this stuff

Would not use these buckets.

Food grade buckets are what you need.

Exactly. Its hard to distinguish between 'food grade' buckets and the regular buckets.

A food grade bucket uses 'virgin' plastic. That basically means new plastic that has not been recyled.

Many of the buckets that are used to store paints and other chemicals are used from recycled plastic(its cheaper)

The chemicals in these buckets will, over time, leech into your food supply. That is unless they are stored in mylar bags.

The other factor in a food grade bucket is which compound was used as the 'release' agent after the injection molding process.

You can actually get FREE food grade buckets. You can usually get them from bakeries, deli's, and supermarkets.

Most of the time you can go to the bucket manufacturer website to determine if their buckets are actually food grade.
