Top 10 Foods to Stock Up on NOW

***UPDATED 8/5/23***

Are you shocked by the price increase in food lately? I sure am, so I've started stocking up on non-perishable foods. I'm not really what you call a prepper but with the way the world is right now, I don't think it will hurt to have a stockpile of food. 

My suggestion on canned goods is, if you have an Aldi store nearby, shop there for your canned goods. They are cheaper than most grocery stores I shop and the quality is the same or even better. My husband loves their soups.

Storage was a problem for us so we decided to buy a couple of cabinets to store our food. They didn't take long to put together and they look attractive. You can use whatever space you have but I suggest you designate a space for a large amount of food.

If you start storing up food, make sure when you use a food item that you replace it and put the newer product in the back, that way you won't have to worry about expiration dates.

What are the top 10 foods? I've come up with a list of foods that we are stocking in our pantry.

1. Beans: Dried and canned - Dried Pinto Beans, Canned Chickpeas, Dried Lentils, Canned Baked Beans
2. Canned Goods: Tomatoes, other vegetables, fruits, canned meat, chicken, and fish 
3. Fats: coconut oil, and olive oil
4. Milk: Powdered/Dried, preferably low temp dried (Note: Non-fat powdered/dried milk will be the most shelf stable.) 
5. Nut Butters
6. Pasta: Dried, all shapes, and sizes
7. Rice: White rice, such as long grain or basmati, will be the most shelf-stable 
8. Salt: Both iodized salt and sea salts 
9. Sugar: White, Honey, Molasses, Maple Syrup, etc. 
10. Wheat Products: All-purpose flour or bread flour, as well as the actual whole grain & Bread Baking, Needs -Including packaged yeast, baking powder, baking soda, and barley malt
