A large 20 pound bag of rice, a ten pound bag of pinto beans, a five pound bag of red beans and a five pound bag of navy beans. Toss in if you can a 20 pound bag of whole oat groats and a 20 pound bag of red bakers wheat. Add a five pound bag of salt, an two five pound bags of sugar.

You never heard of menu fatigue, have you?

Those things are good to have, but you can't live a normal life on them. Those are refugee foods by themselves.

And you left out oil or fat of some kind.

Me? I'm not going to live like a refugee, ever. Not after the market crash in 2008, when I had to rely on stored and foraged provisions, not next month, not next year, not ever.

For those of you who prefer butter on your toast (the poster did say they had a year’s supply of PB, Johnny) you can buy Red Feather canned butter online.

Ebay also lists canned cheese by Bega.

I would like to add that Costco sells canned beef, chicken, and salmon, which when used in conjunction with veggies and rice or noodles form the basis of various, healthful meals.

Walmart sells canned hams from Denmark.

I live in Washington State, and for anyone living there, a hunting and fishing license plus garden can provide a full larder and freezer year round.

I took it as a starting list of just the basics. You got to have fats, baking soda, popcorn or corn meal, seeds for veggies and TATERS and MATERS.

Every day has to have taters and maters, unless you have macaroni and cheese. Then and only then can you skip the taters and just for 1 day.LOL.

Hope your correct about not having to live as a refugee.

My list is not about menu fatigue, my list is about survival. It is the most concentrated food at the cheapist price. And indeed, I did forget oil. But oil is a problem as it gets rancid within a year. I would get this, then build on top of it. This is the core, and is the easiest to store, with the longest shelf life.

And in Africa it would not be called menu fatigue, it would be called feast. To a dying man watching his family starve, it would be heaven.
