You can buy 5 gal buckets of beans and brown rice nitrogen packed. This will keep you alive for a long time. Then you can add other items on top for variety, taste, etc. This is the cheapest way to get started.

A years food supply, if you get these systems with various cans, run around a grand or so. We got one of those systems, but also several buckets of the beans and rice. So we can last a couple of years without having to buy any food. And it wasn’t very expensive. Lees than $2G.

Just buy beans and rice, then vacuum pack them and store at room temperature out of the light and you have the same thing, but cheaper. Plus you determine the portion size.

White rice is better for long term storage than brown rice because brown rice contains more arsenic. I think there might be another reason, like maybe it doesn’t keep as well, either, but I can’t remember exactly.
