What constitutes 'stocked up'? I have teenage boys and it's insanely hard to keep food in the house as it is but I have a stash of dried beans, rice, quinoa, barley and lentils and a pantry with a million spices, dried chilis, extra cooking oils and canned goods. I imagine we could last two months before everything was gone. I keep a whole beef tenderloin and a pork shoulder plus some chicken, frozen blocks of cheese and butter and a corned beef in the freezer at all times but otherwise I don't have a ton of space. I ferment foods and have the skills to make a meal out of anything but besides adding extra jars of honey and sardines to my pantry I'm out of ideas for what to store away for a rainy day. I do keep masa and flour in bulk for making my own bread and tortillas, and I make sure to always have lots of yeast on hand so if push came to shove I can count on being able to bake. I just worry that if there's a food shortage I will be grossly unprepared since I'm feeding three big guys plus myself and it's hard to know what will be of the most value to store when space is an issue.
