I wish I was one of those people who kept the same food on hand, but I'm not. I buy different shit all the time. I don't even buy the same brands.
I am trying to figure out what to stock if I can't get to the grocery store for some time. What would you keep on hand, in your cupboards if that was the case?
P.S. In the summer I will have access to fresh garden veggies.

Oil & vinegar
Pasta
Spices
Canned goods/vegetables & fruits that are personal favorites
Condiments
In the fall there are many squash that can be kept for months
Beans
Rice
Some backcountry rangers blog and they may have valuable advice.

It's a dense, vacuum sealed bread made of whole grains. It's healthier and has a longer shelf life than other breads.

I have been eating ezekial bread-it is made from seed flour. (Go ahead Mark w/ the jokes)
Made a costco run today for other essentials like TP. Some things I didn't like the price or it didn't seem like a deal so I skipped on it but will get it locally.
Thank you everyone for the suggestions. It is helpful!

If you want to eat unhealthy the possibilities are endless. Not saying I'm 100% healthy, I got junk in my pantry with the best of them, but I mostly try to keep it in moderation.

Yes. I have a large first aid kit. And a small suitcase full of cold medicines and vitamins.

I made a run to Trader Joes. Do they have those everywhere? It is healthy, overly packaged, reasonably priced food and supplies.
I bought mostly snacks tho. Snacks. I have a ton of chips for salsa dipping and other stuff, I don't know what I was thinking. I've never had this much food on hand before, it feels wierd and excesive.

They have Trader Joe's in Orlando, but not here. We got a Lucky's for a short while until it went out of business, that was a bummer. The thing about chips and unhealthy snacks is you can't eat them if you don't buy them. Instead buy celery and dip that in salsa.
