    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.

      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.

        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!
