Being serious here. Where can I get a supply of prepper food at a decent cost. I’ve been following this epidemic for quite some time and it’s starting to look hairy.

Between this moron in the white house and the idiots he has chosen to run things, we are screwed.

Anybody have a few good suggestions?

The most economical is stocking up on the regular grocery store canned goods and packaged foods that your family already eats. Sure, it takes up more storage space than dehydrated foods but it is waaay cheaper and you know your family will eat it.

A few words of caution about the dehydrated food. Your family may hate it. The amount it reconstitues to has been proven in some case not to be accurate. The real world needed daily calories vs. their labled serving size is way off. Don’t forget it requires water to prepare whereas say a grocery store can of green beans is ready to eat, requires no extra precious water and the liquid in the can gives you that much more drinkable water. Not saying you shouldn’t buy dehydrated foods but just be aware.

Aside from the quick add water stuff that I get from local grocery, I like the LDS on line store.

They have a starter kit that provides the basics for one person for one month. Last time I ordered it was $30.00, with no shipping if you ordered more than one case.

This is 6 number 10 cans. One can each of red wheat, oats, rice, flour, white wheat, pinto beans. They have been adding stuff to the web site. It's among the best priced items for long term storage. Flour about 10 years, most of the rest around 30 years to remain good.

Add some cooking oil, sugar/honey, baking soda/powder, and other stuff you normally eat, and it'll give you some pretty good eats.

Walmart online also has some pails that look pretty reasonable that would give you a grab and go pail for a month of eats.
