The Mormons have outstanding information on stockpiling food and supplies. Some of the highlights...stockpile the food you regularly eat. You are not going to develop a sudden taste for freeze dried chicken a la king. Once a year, inventory for expiry dates and cycle that into your household food stream. Replace your inventory with fresh stock. Work out the exact ingredients for your favorite recipes and acquire accordingly, so that you only buy what you need. Don't forget spices, herbs and flavors as these will be hard to get and can dress up things you'd otherwise not want to eat. (I'm just sayin..) Mayor Bloomberg notwithstanding, you can't stockpile too much salt. You need it to live, to taste, and to preserve food. It will also make an excellent barter item.

On another note, that you probably won't hear from them, stockpile liquor. It's good for medicine, disinfectant, oblivion, and barter. Senator's Club, Orloff's, and Ron Baroca will do just fine. No one's going to care about quality and a fifth will get you a rifle and a half dozen boxes of ammo.
