Anything with a long shelf life that you’re already eating anyway. No point in buying food just for the apocalypse for the apocalypse to then never happen.
Also, keep in mind that water is the priority number one,
Exactly. If you buy something you eat you can build a stock where you track expiration date by batch. Eat from the batch closest to expiration. Refill when a batch is eaten up (or thrown out).
If you wanna go overkill, solar powered hydroponics (if you don’t want to settle for potatoes)
Settle for potatoes?! Potatoes would be extremely difficult to grow in an apocalyptic scenario, no? Potatoes stocks have a good shelf life and might turn into gold depending on the situation causing the food shortage.
That should be part of your plans. Which neighbors are you helping. Who knows about your stash in case you die in the disaster - hopefully they survive.
These people are still living in their nice little worlds when the apocalypse comes with their nest eggs of food thinking about how they’re gonna help their neighbors. Your whole world has been upended and you’re playing Mr Rodger’s neighborhood. Yea right!
There’s more than one apocalypse scenario to plan for. Nuclear winter is different than Balkanization is different from super-virus is different from the boot of fascism. When shit hits the fan people get tribal. We’re not building Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, we’re aware there’s going to be thieves and predators who didn’t plan and seek to steal. That’s why we built alliances with the folks already living around us, so we know who belongs, who to trust, and who to shoot when they enter our territory. We also know that worst case we will start running low. That squad of raiders coming for your stash? That’s us. One paranoid cowboy sitting on a bunker’s worth of food versus a neighborhood of mutual aid who’d been planning for this years before it happened? Thanks for the supplies, loner.

By settle I mean hydroponics can be a ton of continous work
Not to mention that some sumbitch will just break in and steal all your stock. You’re just saving up shit for the next biggest bully.

Who knows about your stash
