“Cornmeal: All-purpose flours are good to store, but cornmeal may be the best overall.”
I’ve been a prepper for over 2 decades and this has never been a consideration for 2 reasons- pellagra, and the fact I never use it. I’m surprised it’s at the top of your list. One size does not fit all when prepping. If you don’t eat it, wouldn’t eat it, don’t store it. Also, #1 law of prepping- don’t show off your preps.
It’s not my list, it’s another website.
Personally, I’m not all that crazy on corn meal, but one thing that is a MUST IMHO is corn starch.
Help you thicken up stews/soups.
Now just to show I ain’t a person of all words and no action, I just got back from the store.
I bought a pound of ground beef to make a couple burgers for dinner, and a ceasar salad mix. Also a pound of butter I needed.
In addition:
I knew they were having a sale on oatmeal, so I got four of the big Quaker Oats oatmeal thingies, 2 lbs 10 ozs each.
16 pounds of various canned goods, almost all for less than $1 a can.
34 bucks and I have enough food to keep me alive for over a month, I admit I’d get damned tired of oatmeal, BUT I WOULD NOT STARVE!!!
That’s what I’m talkin about.
