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!

Get a dehydrator and an InstantPot. An InstantPot can be used for canning. We canned our own orange juice (for using in recipes), milk, fruit, meat all on the cheap. Wait for a sale, buy more than you need for the moment and can the rest.
Mylar bags, the good ones that prevent light from hitting the food, are being banned by Brandon. NOW is the time to get what you need and I suggest learning how to preserve food so you can do it yourself (vs buying it).
I just recently learned that Ball owns all the other canning jar brands (Kerr, Ball, Golden Harvest, etc.) that you can get (if in stock) in the local stores. I wonder if a random fire will break out at there plants.....
Is an instapot the same as a pressure cooker, because I have one of those?
Instant pot doesn't hit 15psi. I like the Presto 23 quart that can be found at Walmart/Target/Amazon for $125-180.
