Unlike last February when I started getting ready for the end of the world, kek, this year to repopulate my shelves I have been more selective about what I buy. I have 3 criteria:

  1. It must be shelf stable

  2. It must be something that my family will eat on a normal non SHTF day

  3. It must be at least 40% off

Every Wednesday when I take my boys to Kung Fu practice I have an hour to visit the big store there and walk all of the isles looking for stuff that meets my criteria, the loss leaders that these big retail chains offer just to get you in the door has been very helpful. I don't buy any of their other stuff just the cheap good stuff that meets my needs so fuck them.

For example today I picked up 27 juice boxes (right section, 3rd shelf down, blue box) at a 50% discount; I got 12 bottles of Heinz ketchup (same shelf) at a 45% discount; 12 cans of hot dogs at a 69% discount and a box of Oreos for 50% off (right section 2nd shelf down). Today was a good day.

We will be rotating all of this into our normal food plans and will be saving an actual bundle; if SHTF we should be fine for about 4-5 months.

So niggers, give it to me straight, what am I missing and what am I doing right?

Maybe you could look into honey, it'll last forever and can be used as an antiseptic on wounds.

Be aware storing foods like rice or flour in plastic containers. The plastic doesn't stop oxygen molecules, you'll have to use mylar bags to store rice for very long term. Also a good idea to stick flour in the freezer, to kill any eggs from insects, before long term storage.

Also, try looking into meat such as beef. Meat is the most efficient food, and meat like beef has all the fats you need for energy and mental stability.

I had honey stocked last year but since then it really hasn't been on sale and is god awful expensive. 40% rule.

I do have pork, chicken, turkey and tuna on the shelves but my beef from last year only lasted about six months. It was such a pain in the ass that I am really not going to do that again: https://poal.co/s/BBQ/156515

Thanks for the advice!

I bought a set of freeze dried chicken and beef. The chicken turned out good, but I've not tried the beef.

We've done similar in purchasing with my wife doing a lot 9f couponing to top it off. Unfortunately our shelves are a hodge podge mess, and we're looking at redoing our "pantry" to store more.

The canned chicken from Costco seems to last a good year at least in our experience.

Same overall goals though, buy what we eat so we can cycle through it, with some levels of "emergency" food on top to at the very least take camping.

I should add, maybe look into compressed towels or similar. Might come in handy when you need to use the toilet or clean up. As well as other toiletries.
