What Foods To Go For In A COVID-19 Store Dash 3

First of all, fuck water if your tap water is reasonably drinkable. Just buy a rainbarrel or foodgrade 55 gal plastic vat and at the first sign of strong trouble, fill that baby up. A LifeStraw will do the rest. If you buy a bottle of fresh, non sudsy bleach, you can use it to re-desinfect the water but with a lifestraw you dont need to.
Think of shopping runs as shopping EXPEDITIONS.
You take what you can carry so let that which you carry be OF SUBSTANCE.
Some things of substance:
Tomato paste tins (veggies) cans/jars of beans (protein) peanut butter (orotein & fat) bags of rice (carb) bags of dry pasta (carb) Bags of dry beans (protein) lentils (protein) split peas (protein) oatmeal (very versatile) dried vegetables canned vegetables dried veg/herb mix for rice dehydrated soup dried mushrooms meat/fish butter oil Applesauce instant mashed potato mayonaise Juices milk powder sterilized milk Vitamins D, C, Zinc, Multi Spices and salt.
You get the picture: you need, basically, enough protein to build yourself, enough carbs and fat to fuel yourself, enough vegetables for health and nutrition and the rest is extra.
You want to get the stuff that FILLS you and especially that which is EASY TO PREPARE and is HEALTHY - because disease is the enemy.
If you dump a big bag of rice, pasta or oatmeal in an airtight foodgrade vat, you got your basics covered. At least you will not be hungry or die.
Thats however very primitive. You want at least something that makes that taste better. Also, protein.
Its a good time to fill your freezer, and your fridge, and some shelves.
Nonfood:
gloves (could be dishwashing gloves) plastic bags of various sizes roll of box/duct tape Trashbags (very important) toiletpaper  non-sudsy bleach strong soap products bottle of fuel/rubbing alcohol (for desinfection) a first aid kit acetaminoprofen/paracetamol(new research) An antihistaminic like Benadryl Loperamide to stop diarroea.
You get it, you get it, you get it.
What you get must be OF SUBSTANCE and answer to NECESSITY.
What you're going for is making your family able to stay at home for a month, for home isolation, in case of sickness.
If you go for the extreme, you can take several months worth.
A month is the target. If you can't hack that financially, go for 2 weeks.
You get the picture.
Here's a useful link for more.

Soup was made for times of strife.

Depends on how you make it.
If you take a quart of water, add a broth cube, bring to a boil, stir in 5 ounces of rice the add a pound of sliced veggies, a 2-4oz tin of tomato paste, a quarter pound of cubed fish fillet, and cook it for 15 minutes, its 2 bowls of dinner

If you're like, Fuck No, I will buy one thing and one thing only and fuck any and all prepping, get a big bag of the cheapest oatmeal and store it airtight.

If you scoop a bowl of oatmeal and mix in any kind of beverage, from water to milk, to beer, to juice to diet soda, and stir, blammo you have a survivable emergency ration thats as tasty as the liquid you put in it. Not just will it fill you for long and be nutritious, it will actually pass easily too.
Incidentally this is also very cheap, shown 8 gallon tub can be filled with 25lbs of oatmeal for $10.
So if you are like "fuck anything remotely related to Prepping give me the rock bottom of survivability, expedience and cost effectiveness", fill a tub with cheap oatmeal.

Alcohol and carbs. Every previous emergency run has shown this is all that matters.
