What have you all done to prepare for these blackouts/food shortages that are in our near future??? I keep getting popup adds for 3 month supply of emergency food. My pantry is pretty stocked and I have a few cases of bottled water and plan to get more, plus batteries, ammo, etc. But 3 months? Is that a true possibility? I mean better safe than sorry but really?

I do the rule of 3: 3 months to start, 3 years to finish; 3 methods each for food, water, hygiene, cooking, heat, light, protection.
Easy way to start: spaghetti often on sale at $1, same with tomato sauce. To serve spaghetti once a week for a year you need 52 of each. That comes to $104 for the year. Then plan similar with other meals you like.
Then I pressure can foods, like hearty soups, meats, etc, lasts at least 5 years.
I have some of the freeze dried foods but they dont taste great and have lots of salt in them. I have these as last resort.
I do not keep my emergency foods in the pantry.... anywhere but the pantry for When SHIF
