We did all the usuals, rice, flour, lard, canned goods. And yet I know I would be depressed on canned emergency foods only. Coffee is a big one for us. We have a years supply laid by.
We also acquired 2 hydroponic counter top gardens & bulk lettuce seeds so we can have a regular source of left greens, and bulk sprouting seeds (alfalfa & broccoli) for highly packed natural vitamin sources. Neighbor has chickens, they will gladly trade eggs for sprouts.
Beyond that we are dependent on local hunting. My family will be ok & we also feel prepared to help a dozen or so loved ones that are not awake yet & think we are crazy. We will welcome them with open arms. Please prepare yourselves to care for others as well.
I believe this is one of the biggest keys. If we are able to help ourselves, & prepare to help others who were not awake too, this will be a much easier time for us.
