Perhaps you’re just supposed to wait until this apparently impending disaster, and then raid your local food bank. Perhaps we should consider them off-site storage.
Comment on Government tells Britons to stockpile as part of emergency planning

40 per cent of people do not have three days’ supplies of non-perishable food and water.
How are they suppose to pay for it? Food bank usage is only going up, how is having three days of emergency food on stand by a realistic prospect for some households?

Generally you don’t buy this all in one go. The idea is to buy one or two extra things per week and build the stockpile slowly.

Millions of people are already having to skip meals because they don’t make enough to feed themselves everyday, where is this money for one or two extra items suppose to come from?

And also to rotate through it.
Use the emergency food in regular cooking, and replace it. This avoids things going off.
