Thanks for the replies. I'm looking for a few easy foods to buy and put away that don't require special storage. I realize I won't be as well prepared as some, but I should be able to avoid starvation with a little planning. Only have the one mouth to feed...if you don't count the hamster & two cats.
A 25 pound bag of Mahatma white rice (Super Wal-Mart, etc) and 8-10 pounds of packaged dried pinto beans (Aldi's, etc) will fit in a 5 gal food grade bucket and supply about a month's worth of basic carb, protein along with some other basic nutrients for <$25.
It won't take too long before you'll have 3 months, 6 months, etc. As it grows it will take a burden off you. I've got 24 of those buckets stacked in the garage, along with another 16 of the same buckets of additional various dried beans, sugar, wheat berries, etc. Covers my wife and I for a year, plus. We've also got other rotational supplies of coffees, canned meats (not much, because I don't much like to eat them), soups, canned veg, canned fruit, etc.
Start with the beans and rice. And start buying extras of other storagable items as they are on sale, or buy-one/get-one, etc.
After you get your own, if you're able, you might start doing more. We've now starting planning to store additional extra to be able to give out to friends and family, as needed.
