Use the list in this publication or make your own list. Keep it with the emergency foods, so you can check your supply and replenish it when needed. Look at the list and choose the foods that you like. Add others to replace the suggestions you don't care for. If you are on a special diet, consider that when making choices.
Foods listed require a little preparation.
To be prepared, store some bread in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator or buy a larger box of crackers. All of the foods will not be eaten in the three days. If your food budget is tight, buy one or two items each week until you have your emergency food supply. Store foods in a cool place away from any direct source of heat. Date the foods when you buy them.
