Eat what you store, store what you eat. It rotates your food storage and eliminates waste. Learn to cook from scratch. There is a ton of useful information here.
like it's been said..store what you already eat..and eat and rotate what you store...that way you can avoid any problems by eating foods that your body not use to after tshtf..learn to cook without electric and gas.camp fires and camp stoves when it comes to that.foods and cookware for just in case you have to bug out for whatever reason(s)
Are you buying all your food or canning it your self? I buy all my own, stock up on tin's, Go to the back off the shelves in food shop's you'll get the longest date's and if the date's short put it back. My bug out bag has freeze dry, fruit sticks and hot drink sticks. If your burying anything make sure it's water tight. P.S r u a scot???
My advice is to not just stock up (though this is good too), but to also develop plans for sustainability.
First and foremost, a ready water supply. For example, if you have an electricity-powered well, rig up a hand pump that can fill the cistern and work alongside the electric pump, in an emergency, or when without power. Imagine, still using your sink, toilets, even shower during SHTF.
Next, food. Hopefully, the SHTF event in question will still allow for hunting and fishing, so there's your meat. However, having gardens, chickens, and/or other domestic animals can help too... (and home canned foods last longer than store cans).
