Stocking up on food is often the first step most preppers take to prepare themselves and their families for a SHTF scenario. And while food storage is important, it’s also never-ending. These are the 5 foods I recommend constantly adding more of to your food supply.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Because of the government’s response to the pandemic, there has been an influx of new preppers. In order to best help them, I will be trying to share items that can still be found and purchased and added to a food supply.
Don’t buy anything your family dislikes or won’t eat unless you can use it specifically for bartering and that’s why you are adding it to your food supply. If you buy food you dislike and never end up eating, it’ll simply go to waste.
Beans
Grab a variety of different beans in both cans and dried. Beans can be used often, have great nutritional value (including a good dose of fiber) and are fairly inexpensive. You can always grin up dried beans and use them in soups or stews to create a more hearty and filling dish while adding a can of beans. Again, the variety will keep boredom with your meals at bay too.
If you have a sweet tooth, stock up on sugar and honey. Neither will go bad and both will be able to give that extra kick of sweetness to satisfy those cravings when the SHTF. It can’t hurt to have some extra on hand in the event that you need to make some “survival cookies” just to get through the day.
Although I am not a huge fan of rice during normal times, it’s packed with carbohydrates to give you energy. Rice is pretty versatile too and can be mixed with herbs and a vegetable or used on its own with some salt as a simple main dish if need be. It’s a great “first choice” for those who have just started to put food in their prepper pantry. It’s also a good filler and can stretch meals when topped with some meat or vegetables. Please keep in mind that brown rice contains oils that will eventually become rancid. If you can keep it stored at very chilly temperatures, say below 60 degrees, it will be fresher, longer. Otherwise, plan on the shelf life of only about a year or so.
Anyone who has kids knows this is a must. It’s appealing to most children and has a bunch of good fats in it making it a great food to store. You can even keep a new, sealed jar in emergency kits for a quick dose of protein when you might need it most. I actually have some “squirtable” peanut butter in my vehicle emergency kit, just in case I need a quick blast of sustenance.
These are only my personal top 5 foods that you should stock up on every month, or when you notice there’s a good sale. There are many more you always grab too! Just make sure you have a variety of foods to keep yourself satiated and your kids full during the worst of times.

Mac, Nice to see SHTFPlan putting up articles from its roots. Articles like this one and others recently of this genre are good reminders for those of us that have been into the preparedness movement for a long time and are especially helpful to people that are trying to find their way.
To all of you new people, everyone tries, some quit in despair. Keep the faith. It’ll all work out in the end. Quite a few of the foods mentioned in this and other articles like it are not readily available these days.
Dried beans are good example. Where I live, dried beans haven’t been available in any grocery store in the area since the middle of February.
So, there are two alternatives to secure supply. Wait for the harvest to come in later this year and compete with everyone else to secure more or grow your own if you have the land available.
I watched one set of my grandparents grow virtually ALL of their food on one acre of land. The only food that they spent money on was beef and pork. They raised all of their vegetables for a year to feed a family of seven. I can remember going down into my grandparents cellar when I was a kid and seeing rows of shelves containing mason jars with every variety of vegetable. My grandmother was canning, every day, from late June, when the peas started coming, until mid September when the last of the tomatoes came off of the vines. In between she hoed weeds, fed the chickens and squab, collected eggs and planted second crops of beans while the first crop was being canned or dried depending on the variety. It’s a lot of work, but doable, especially if you want to eat instead of starve.
WTF is going on with our military?? First,the naval cmdr. of T.Roosevelt lets sailors go ashore in Vietnam during a virus outbreak,than he screams to EVERYONE that his sailors are sick and the ship needs help. My god, why is he not being court martialed??

Mac, restore this site to how it used to be and I will help. Otherwise solly cholly….
Most of the peeps around here are planning on eating their hoard of toilet paper. Hey, whatever floats your retarded boat!
I have a survival recipe for buttwipe casserole.?
And since they aren’t selling seeds anymore, you can plant the beans and grow your own bean stalk! Plant pop corn kernels, squash, gord, mellon seeds, peanuts, and sunflower seeds, apple seeds, peach pits, ( all must be organic.)
Since my white trash neighbors are terrorists, theives, and vandals, stalkers, and creepy scumizen spies, I will just starve to death. The new Pritikin weight loss plan! Starvation! Die young and leave a good looking corpse!
