In addition to the recommendations below I suggest buying more of the foods you already eat and rotate them accordingly. Figure out how many units of food you would normally eat before the expiration date comes and buy that many. IE if you eat 2 cans of tuna a month and the expiration date is 4 years out then you should buy 96 cans of tuna.
Foods I recommend based on both price and nutrition
Trader Joe’s:
- Raw Sunflower Seeds
- Organic Peanut Butter
- Olive Oil
- Whole Wheat Pasta
- Raw Brazil Nuts
- Raw Almonds
- Raw Pecans
Suggested foods you can buy online:
- Freeze-dried fruit and vegetables
- New Chapter Organics multivitamin (Use coupon code DAV678 and get $5 your first order)
- Large quantities of whole grains for long term storage (you will need to buy mylar bags and oxygen absorbers in order to store for long term)
How to calculate survival days
Formula: (# of calories per serving) x (# of servings) x (number of this food product in inventory) = Total calories of this certain food product. Take that number and divide it by your estimated daily calories.
For example if I require 2500 calories a day and buy 10 bags of food and with 504 servings at 160 calories per serving. That would be 160x504x10=806400. Divide that by your daily calories (2500) and you get the theroretical amount of days you would survive (322.6).
