Eat What you Store and Store What you Eat!
How many of us have cans and pounds of foods in our basement that we never eat? If you eat a lot of pinto beans, then you most certainly should get a bunch of them and store them in airtight containers in your basement, plus some spices and things to eat with them. You should also know how to cook them, and in the event of an emergency, have adequate supplies to cook them on - fuel and the equipment to cook them on should you be without power. 
On the other hand, if you eat spaghetti and meatballs with green beans, some stored noodles, sauce and cans of green beans would probably be a great idea!
For the next week, keep track of the meals you like to eat and what the ingredients are. When those items that you usually eat go on sale, purchase some extras, based on their shelf life, and add them to your storage. 
You can start this week. 
Who know what kind of disasters we will face? It may be a natural disaster that we have no control over, it may be a financial disaster such as a loss of job or a cutback, it may be medical issues or something else. For whatever the reason, having a surplus of handy edibles in the basement or spare room is a great idea.
