Sugar and salt. Gunna need those too. Cheap.
Surprised they didn’t include honey. Even if it crystallizes from age, just gently rewarm the container in warm water and good as new.
You can order King Arthur’s flour online at WalMart for $3.68. Also check out the RiceSelect Pearl Couscous in a 24 oz container for under $5.
Butter Ghee (clarified butter) can be kept without refrigeration for a long time. You can make your own with unsalted butter. A standard in hot, humid India. Higher smoke point than regular butter as well.
Add a few dried Bay Leaves to rice, pasta, flour, grain in sealed containers. It inhibits weevils.
Large canisters of dried onions, black peppercorns and crushed red pepper are a must. Powdered mustard, iodized salt and sugar.
Grain alcohol (ethanol) is a great antiseptic and preservative.
Get a spiral cut ham, remove the fat and dry it. Ham jerky is great at a fraction of the cost of beef jerky.
Refined Sugar.
Lasts forever.
Soap.
Good list.
But what will young people do?
Most of them live on fast food and don’t know how to cook or bake.
Stay away from coconut oil. Saffolla oil is better. It is higher in healthy monounsaturates than any leading oil.
Lower in saturated fats than soybean, corn, sunflower and olive oil, Saffola is also an excellent source of the natural antioxidant Vitamin E. It has a smoke point of 510 °F.

Boy, all this talk of food prices and prepping food sure makes me hungry.
Worth every cent!

Thinking about things to keep the critters out.
Rat poison, screening & plastic sheeting in case the windows get damaged, bug spray, netting, etc.
As a matter of fact, all seeds last forever, if kept in dry place.
They found some wheat seeds in some Pharaoh tomb, like 3000 years old, they planted them and some grew up!
They could be all eaten or used for seeds. I had my garden spot in back yard, one can grow your own vegies and grains.
In the time of troubles, everything is doable. They turned Wimbledon tennis courts into vegie garden during WW II.
Grass and tree bark were also eaten during severe hunger times.
Dandelions, lambquarter and some other weeds are actually delicious.
Practically all living things could be slaughtered and eaten. Rats, mice, possum, snakes, dogs, cats, horses,...
Keep hunting guns and ammo on hand!
In Siberian Gulag, inmates have even eaten some frozen mammoth!
Thanks for the list.
Two important factors.
1. Maintain 98.6° F,
2. Hydrate, how much? Not less than 1 gallon per day. The general rule of thumb on hydration is drink until your urine is clear, copious, and frequent.
Other considerations:
Pick foods that don’t require large amounts of fuel to prepare.
Shovels, picks and mattocks, hoes, gravel rakes, wheelbarrow, iron pots, camping tools, large heavy black plastic bags.
Also, select a local golf course to bury the dead. Golf courses are ideal buriel sites as there are fewer roots to contend with when preparing excavations for bagged cadavers.
Dig your slit trenches deep enough and away from sources of water.
Always boil your water. Pick up some good quality water purifiering filter devices.
P.S. none of this stuff is portable. Going wandering with your knapsack on your back could prove a hazardous undertaking.
This list is awful. They speak of rice like it goes bad quickly — it doesn’t, only very particular varieties — and they don’t mention the short shelf lives of oils.
You could get 40 mcdoubles they keep for years with or without refrigeratoration.
