Went to Sam's yesterday, to buy survival food supply for two:

1 65 serving box of dehydrated mashed taters (dw doesn't like rice)
1 box /48 servings instant oatmeal
6 cans of chili
8 cans of soup
1 box/ 30 granola bars
10 cans of tuna

Total cost- $48; looks like about 191 servings. Nutritional value-not great, not awful. All items are favorites of the household, and can be rotated, except the taters-prefer fresh when available. cannot help it-Irish heritage. Still looking for dehydrated cabbage, faith and begorrah.

need to add some non-fat dry milk, dehydrated soups, peanut butter, crackers.

Found a source of dried cheese and whole eggs in WI, will report findings,
