Here's my rant:

They are selling 30 day dehydrated food supplies for $350, plus SH. That seems excessive to me for what you actually get.

A personalized 30 day food strategy would depend on several things such as, how many people, what kind of storage is available, and whether you plan to carry it or shelter in place.

My opinion is that dehydrated food is best for backpacking, but dry food is best for a 30 day home cache.

Standard food packaging has come a long way in the past few years. Look at tuna for example. The heavy foil packaging keeps it fresh for 2 to 3 years at a cost of 89 cents. There are many dry foods that you can buy off the grocery store shelf that are cheap, nutritious, and store well. Rice, beans, pasta, coffee, honey, saltine crackers, peanut butter, dry milk are some examples. There are also endless 'just add water and boil' packets lining the shelves. If your local grocery store is a small one, it's worth the trip to a large one to take advantage of the increased selection.

We had discussions last winter on canned meat on this forum, and many of us like it. Canned Turkey Spam for example, is cheap, stores for years, and it tastes pretty good out of the can, pan fried or cubed with rice or beans.

Something to consider: 'Dry'vs.'Dehydrated' For way less money than dehydrated food, you can set yourself up with water containers (30 to 60 gallons total...buy 7 gallon size if you want to transport), and 5 or 6 - 5 gallon sealable buckets. In those you can put dry rice, beans, pasta, flour, rolled oats, etc in their original containers, and stack them in a basement or closet. Buy canned meat such as Spam, tuna, ham, and chunk chicken.(skip the canned bacon). Fill out with a half dozen big plastic jars of peanut butter, and 2 or 3 gallons of canola oil (replaces butter). Of course, you can customize this as you like, as the choices are almost endless if you give it some thought.

This strategy requires some vigilance, but can actually save some money on staple foods. When we get low in the kitchen pantry, we raid the cache, rotating and eating the oldest of the stored food. Because we have a cache, we rarely pay full price for these foods. We replenish it in quantity when it goes on sale at the grocery store.
