Prepared Minimalist
One's mentality to be ready for the unknown.
One's choice to live with less in exchange for freedom.
Starting out your own home storage? The list you'll be making is yours and should be made up of food you and your family already eats. A time where you'd need the back up food isn't a time you'd like to test to see if you're allergic to something, or get stomach issues from it. The following doesn't include non-food items.
Also note that these items below are with long shelf lifes and aren't refrigerated or frozen. Suggested percentages as followed.
15% Protein base, 35% grains, 19% Vegetables, 19% Fruits, 10% Dairy, 2% other (food group)
Grains: Rice, oatmeal, pasta (some are gluten free), cereal, food bars, taco shells, certain crackers are whole grains
Protein: Peanut butter, nuts, black beans, lentils, pinto beans, soybeans, dehydrated eggs, jerky, tuna, canned meats
Dairy: Dry milk, cheese powders, chocolate milk
Fruits: Applesauce, cherries, mandarin oranges, pineapple, raisins, cranberry, banana chips (cans), fruit snacks, jelly (try to get the real deal and not just 90% sugar...)
Vegetables: Corn, pumpkins, squash, yams, and other (cans)
