I've stocked up on rice and beans, coffee, medicines, and even have some "25 year emergency food", but I'm looking for some dried veggies, fruits, nuts, etc.. I found some on this website, but didn't know if this was the best choice in terms of cost. https://www.redhillgeneralstore.com/Bulk-Foods.htm I also need a better alternative for animal feed (dogs/cats/chickens). Even my local feed supply has horrible prices now. (I might be too late on that!) Thanks everyone!

That's what I did. There's a local farm store that sells bushels of whatever is currently in season for cheaper. And we have a lot of orchards here - I did a ton of apples. BTW, check for local pick your own places if you have time. You can pick a bushel of apples or peaches in no time. Warning - I once picked a 5 gallon bucket of cherries, eyes bigger than my ability to pit cherries. Didn't have a pitter. I did a mountain of those things with a hairpin until I was ready to scream.
Make sure you get a dehydrator that's way bigger than what you think you'll need.
