Just recently I've started accumulating cans of soup with these special prices for quantity. That can of soup is a complete, 300-or-less calorie meal for $1.29 (what I'm paying).
It's important to understand he source of that canned food, though. Unfortunately I can't trust any food items coming from China.
Regarding prepping/"hoarding" in general - not only is that not amoral/illegal, it is a PUBLIC SERVICE. The person who hoards in the immediate aftermath of a disaster is not being particularly moral, but the person who accumulates provisions in general is one less person out there emptying the shelves when disaster does strike.
In fact, after a while I find myself putting back some supplies for neighbors (I hope they love Vienna Wieners!).
