I'm trying to build up enough stock to last at least 30 days, perhaps 60. That's the time period when everyone is going to be going crazy trying to find food and supplies.

I have enough toiletries and medical items to last me, and I've started building up food supplies. I need to invest in off grid cooking items like a butane/propane stove, a cooking stove that I can burn wood in, and electronic items like rechargeable batteries, an emergency radio and flashlights, but I got a line on those types of items.

What I'm looking for, in the way food items, is a place to order items that resembles a food store, but with items that will last longer than the 2-3 month shelf life of most items in your local grocery store. I don't want to purchase a huge bucket of items, most of which I will probably never use. I want to hand pick what I get, and how much.

This white rice link is just an example and I mention it as step one in storing food, a baby step, but what a step it is.

To get by cheap for something that you will never need, 2 buckets of this will give you a good base for short-term eating and will last most of your lifetime (30 years), and is easy to take with you during moving.

Forty-eight pounds of white rice is a heck of a foundation for a 60 day emergency, anything you can find in your cupboards can go with it, canned foods, canned vegetables, ketchup and other condiments, eggs, a can of pork and beans, anything and everything can be eaten with it, starting a survival day with a guaranteed 1 pound of rice, is quite a step up from nothing, or from just a can of tuna or some apples.
