Betcha coffee would be worth its weight in gold.

I’ve taken to storing things I don’t want to deteriorate in canning jars. I have a food saver sealer, which comes with attachments to suck the air out of canning jars. They are then vacuum sealed/hermetically sealed.

Keeps bugs, rodents, moisture, and oxygen out.

Even if one jar got bugs or went bad, it would not contaminate everything else.

those bags will still permit oxygen infiltration. if you want to really last a long time, seal it with a food saver and throw it in a mylar bag with an oxygen absorber. chocolate will last for years with no noticeable deterioration

Along with tobacco. And tobacco is easier to grow :)

I'm still expanding on my seed stash. I have fruits, vegetables, grains, culinary herbs, and medicinal herbs, but not all of them have been tested yet. And with the grains, I have a pretty wide variety but not a large enough amount.

I'm slowly getting there.

Btw, a tip I picked up. Place food item in ziplock freezer bag, zip almost all the way across seal, insert common drinking straw, suck out air, then close zipper. Not as efficient but good stop gap for several months.
