It is time for me to get serious about having an extra food supply. Stop thinking. Start doing. I found the best solution for me is to buy extra bulk staples at the LDS Church and have them shipped to me for almost nothing. The different cans of staples will last for 30 years. All of the beans and rice and oats and carrots and onions and apples are quite reasonable in price. I can store them under my bed in the cases they came in.  No fuss. No muss. I do need to start learning how to use some of them and add them to my current diet now and not wait until I need them. They are not a perfect solution  as I will need other items to make them palatable. I will also have to cook with them in a power outage situation. 
 I know this is not the answer for all people and all budgets and all situations, but I think it is an excellent way to start and get in gear and start doing and stop thinking.
 I will also be looking into some other prepared meals that just need water and see how well they stack up in taste and cost and will be posting more food storage recipes if they are not already covered on youTube.
  I am going to get some plywood that matches the dimension of the stack of boxes and place my mattress on top and will sleep comfortably knowing I have an ample supply of food regardless of future circumstances.
 if you have been holding back on your food storage due to cost or space, you might want to think about getting a few boxes at a time and making a platform for your bed so you can store the stacked boxes under your bed. Even if you only set a couple of dollars a day aside you can buy a box or two of food each month, and it should last 30 years!
 I hope this helps you guys. I add new stuff every week.

 I have no affiliation with the LDS church.
 I would also like to recommend a wonderful food storage book I have found very helpful.
How Much Wheat Am I Really Going to Eat?: Charting Your Way To Food Storage Success
This book is by Anne McFadden who has a lot of common sense food storage information.   https://amzn.to/2VxiL0b

 If you are trying to figure out exactly how much food you will need for any length of time, Anne has charts that cover most basic foods to help you prepare and gauge how  much food you will really need to store plus a ton of other great info that comes from real experience.Plus a lot of mistakes to avoid that will save you the price of the book many times over.
