You can buy a case of dinty moore beef stew, $24 for 12 cans on amazon, each can is a 600 calorie meal with meat, potatoes, carrots, and stew. And you can add things to it to change the flavor, or use it as a base for other things (like putting it on rice). It keeps for 4 years. All you have to do is heat it.

Why not just have a couple cases around? Super easy to buy and store. Worst case you throw away $100 of food in 5 years, or donate it to the poor before then. Best case, you have actual food security for a month or two in case of actual food shortages which are looking increasingly likely

12 cans is 6 days worth when rationed. $100 gets you less than a month. The bare min is 6 months for emergency. Rationally you would want at least 2 years of food to survive an orchestrated famine. So roughly $3k in been stew.

I don't believe in the famine theory, but hyperinflation is here. Buying food in bulk now and waiting for wages to catch up is a good plan. Then buy all the assets you can with whatever cash you have left. Buy all the discount assets people need to sell to afford food.
