Has a fund like this been created already?

I was thinking about something like a "daily necessities" type fund that allows individuals to hedge themselves against rising prices in a variety of sectors / commodities simultaneously....specifically with regard to everyday things like food and gas. Does this exist?

yep...garage or public storage

With a shelf life in excess of 10 years, this bacon makes a perfect addition to your food storage program and it is great for every day use.
