For food, I just purchased a week’s worth of Soylent powder. Here was my reasoning (feel free to critique because I might purchase more):
Soylent powder is very easy to store and takes a long time to go bad. Thus it makes a very good disaster preparation food.
It doesn’t require heat to prepare, and therefore would be helpful even if the power went out.
It’s relatively cheap compared to other prepared foods. I got it for $1.50 per 400 calories.
It’s nutritionally complete, or at least is sufficiently nutritionally complete that it’s very unlikely that you would suffer any long term consequences from relying on it for a few weeks to months.
I bought soylent along with rice, beans, dried mushrooms, dried vegetables, cured sausage, etc. I think soylent is useful but I wouldn’t want to consist on it fully.
