If you actually need that much food, there will be way bigger problems before you're done with the first month's food ration. People who didn't plan ahead will be going bat shit fucking crazy after their first skipped meal.
I had to stop buying the everyday stuff because I was running out of space and it wasn't getting rotation because I was losing track. So I figure have about a month or so if I stretch it and then I stocked up on some MREs which would probably go another 4-6 weeks.
A month is good for food. But it's always good to have extra dry/canned foods/MREs to go another couple of months if needed. Water is vital, but if you don't want to stock up on this, you can still use life straws or get regular bleach. A standard bottle of bleach can disinfect 10s of thousands of gallons of water if not much much more. It's very important to use the correct ratio because drops will go a LONG ways. They have many charts available online to do the proper mixture ratio.
Just don't overbuy and waste items that will go bad before you get a chance to consume it.
3 months minimum on food.
