Ideally, you replace one can of something with two cans of that same something when you use it and you are rotating your preps. Lately, I have been a bit lazy thinking I have had enough, but I really do not, and if you read Friday’s post, clearly my head is spinning about what to do… After posting last evening, I threw together a list of additional items I want to add to my preps to either replace or add to what is already there. Here is what I have come up with. I hope this helps fill in some of your own gaps.
- Soups (Canned) – Costco / various
- Stew (Canned) – Costco
- Canned Protein - Costco – Chicken / Tuna
- Coffee – Costco (a couple pounds at the very least)
- Canned fruit – Costco
- Apple cider vineger – A couple gallons at least
- Sea salt – 5 LBS??
- Kosher salt – large box (Qty 2)
- Powdered milk (Several Boxes)
- Gatorade (Powdered)
- Iced tea mix (Two large containers, Powdered)
- Tang (Two large containers, Powdered)
- Rice (White)
- Beans – canned
- Beans – dried
- Beef bouillon - large - Costco
- Oatmeal – large container
- Flour* – whole wheat and white
- Salsa
- Ketchup
- Canned tomatoes for sauce
- Pasta
- Hot chocolate
- Chocolate syrup
- Molasses
- Canned vegetables**
- Crisco shortening
- Canola Oil
- Laundry soap
- Pancake mix / regular and whole wheat
- More toilet paper
- More paper towels
- Check this roll out… This might be a good option for preppers: http://goo.gl/ossBD
- More Medical supplies
- Hot sauce – make anything take good.
- Lamp Oil
Other preps (Not core for comfort and )
- Vodka and other booze (cheap) for barter, and other uses
- Beer – Barter, consumption, etc.
- Candy bars, bags of chocolate candy
- Hard candy
- Protien bars
Lowes
- 5 – paint buckets with lids
- Pad locks
- Box for patio/deck to store items outside of apartment that are taking up space
Online
- Mylar bags
- O2 Absorbers
- Harmony house foods
- Dried vegetables
- Soy Protein product
- Mountain House foods
- More seeds for gardening/farming
* Some of you might get on me for this one instead of buying grains, but there is not a ton of room in the apartment, and I use the flour over time and rotate it out.
** Maybe, as I am looking into purchasing a dehydrator and dehydrating my own vegetables instead of buying them. I can purchase them at the grocery store and do it myself for a fraction of the cost… The dehydrator could pay for itself in no time at all…
This is an expensive list to “add” to what I already have. However, if I want to accelerate my preparations, I feel like I have to add to it quickly. I just do not feel like I have enough. Next question, taking a look at the financial situation and can I do this all at once or over the next three months???

Great information.
My wife and I have subscribe to The Grocery Game (http://www.thegrocerygame.com/). For a fairly nominal price, you get some pretty good info on which stores have the best prices on specific foods that week. When my wife combines that with coupons, she's actually gotten some items for free. Makes it easier to stock up that way.
