Going shopping tomorrow, gonna sink some of this months paycheck in a bunch of stuff that'll be more worthwhile in the long run if SHTF than this disposable paper. Wondering if anyone had any sources, tips or info they'd like to pass along before I go out.

Rice, Beans, pasta, as others have mentioned. Staple shelf foods that if stored properly last a very long time.

Worry more about your capability to obtain additional food, then the food you can manage to get stored would be my suggestion. Sure get some staples stored. But get together the items that are going to help you survive.

Build a bugout bag. web search it. there are hundreds of recommendations, from very expensive and elaborate to inexpensive and extremely basic. Define your level of capability and need and put that together.

Get a few nice to have supplementary items

  • a 5 gallon BPA free bucket, with an airtight lid, is a godsend in situations. Ive several of these, and occasionally you can find rice and beans sold in them.

  • powerbank capable of doubling as a car jump starter. I've got one. its small light weight. its started both a v8 and a turbo 4. it has a couple USB ports to charge my gadgets.

  • a solar charging situation for the powerbank or gadgets, small portable. sure it doesn't put out as much power as you need, but you would be surprised what you'll gather if you get one you can strap on your pack. And a phone check in once every week is better than none at all at worst cases.

  • a small rocket stove, or if in bright areas, a solar stove, these are usually larger, but most disassemble to be manageable, will work during the day when not enough burnables around. a solar stove can also be used to if you lose all other options .
