When creating an end-of-the-world shopping list, the first item to consider is water.
Next, we need to decide what kind of canned goods to store. Preppers recommend highly processed foods that provide nutrients and calories, which is the opposite of what we might eat if we were on a diet. In a post-apocalyptic situation, this would be more important than food preferences.
These ultra-processed foods can be preserved for long periods without refrigeration, are easily stored, occupy minimal space, and provide a substantial source of energy.
Legumes, cereals, fish, and vegetables are the most advisable foods for living in an environment like Mad Max’s. However, freeze-dried options are much better than canned foods.
These versatile containers make it easy to portion out personalized servings. They can be heated without the need for electricity. Additionally, they have a compact design that takes up less space than traditional cans. Highly recommended.
Carbohydrates are vital for survival, so it’s important to store rice, cereals, sugar, and energy bars in your underground pantry.
Another essential item on the doomsday shopping list is cookies, jams, spreads, and chocolates – easy to store and long-lasting.
In the event of an apocalypse, it’s essential to consider long-lasting food items for your survival. Nuts and toasted bread are excellent choices due to their extended shelf life and minimal loss of nutritional value over time.
Nuts, packed with essential nutrients and healthy fats, can provide sustenance for extended periods. Meanwhile, toasted bread can remain edible for extended periods when stored properly, making it a valuable addition to your post-apocalypse shopping list.
Be sure to choose durable products wisely, even if you are not looking for the same 20-30 year shelf life of freeze-dried food or the 5-8 year shelf life of MREs..
Try to avoid anything that doesn’t last at least a year.
Grains are a crucial staple for your emergency pantry due to their versatility, nutrition, and long shelf life.
Rice: long grain, short grain (sushi), and basmati (Indian)
Wheat berries (white, hard preferred)
Dried corn
Popcorn
Rolled oats
Cornmeal
All purpose flour
Cake flour
Pasta

Beans and legumes are excellent sources of protein and fiber and can be stored and used in various ways.

Black beans
Navy beans
Kidney beans
Chickpeas/Garbanzo beans
Lima beans
Black-eyed peas
Lentils
Fats are crucial for cooking, nutrition, and satiety – don’t just assume “fat equals bad.” Whether saturated or unsaturated, most fats can last at least 1-2 years on the shelf.
Lard
Peanut butter (also a decent source of protein)
Shortening
Vegetable oil
Olive oil
Coconut oil
Coconut milk (good for Indian and Thai dishes)
Explore an array of savory meats and a selection of alternative protein sources.
Canned salmon
Sardines
Canned tuna
Spam
Canned chicken
Vienna sausages
Textured Vegetable Protein
Imitation bacon bits
Country ham
Dry-cured bacon
