Pro prepper tip: always buy foods you would normally eat anyways. That way if shit doesn't hit the fan you're not wasting your prep, and you don't take it away from someone else. (Also, don't tell IRL friends/neighbors about your prep or you'll be Target #1 when SHTF.)
Just some (hopefully) helpful tips from an east coast resident who's dealt with a few hurricanes.
I mostly eat fresh food, so it was difficult to only buy stuff I normally eat lol
I bought rice and beans as the base because I know I can eat them regardless of what happens even if it takes a year to work through the amount I got hahahaha. I also got a ton of flour and yeast so I can make my own bread/tortillas (generator) And then canned fruits and veggies that I like
And I don't know any of my neighbors, so no one knows lol.
Oh, another thing my husband got for us were straws with built in filters. They can last up to a year and you can literally drink straight from a lake and it will filter 99.9% of bacteria out of the water. I think everyone should own one of these straws. You can make it 30+ days without food..... Only 3 days without water.

Sounds like you did great! I've been researching a (very tiny) bit and those were the two big takeaways I've seen.
Stay safe, fren!
Thank you friend! You stay safe, yourself <3
