Buy rice, beans, tuna fish, peanut butter. Heck we even bought a bunch of single serve foil packs of spam. We have been hitting the dollar store weekly for the rice and beans.
Hit someplace like Aldis and buy veggies by the case.
Thanks for the suggestions - I did some of this back during the 2000 meltdown worries. That proved unfounded. Fortunately I was not stuck with loads of stored food - I had just done some minimal stocking up.
For this....who knows?
GUYS!! I have been packing up SHTF stuff for months now and there is one thing that I feel the need to share with you guys even though you probably already know, but just for the ones who hadn’t thought of it.
VITAMINS.
Go to a Walmart, online discount vitamin supply, etc.. and buy all you can of the multivitamin. Spring Valley has an inexpensive Prenatal vitamin with EXTRA stuff in there so if you aren’t in a position to eat all the vitamins you have a cushion. Vitamins are supposed to supplement what you are eating, but in a SHTF time, you may be getting rice and beans.
So please buy as much as you can in vitamins.
