“Hit Costco. 25 lbs of rice for about ten bucks”

If you read the calorie count, you’ll find that rice offers the best bang for the buck. If you have rice, then you can eat it with anything, and still not starve.

The way I see it - sooner (rather than later), food prices in the US will soar as the dollar crashes. You will still find food, but it will cost a fortune. If you have a good-sized stock of rice (which I have), or noodles, you will have your calories. You can then add whatever other foods happen to be available, at a given time (i.e., expect Soviet-style food shortages, once price controls take hold) and have a reasonable meal.
