Sample prepping food storage totals by Florida Prepper.
Adjust for how many people in your home and
how many days you want to have stored.

Store only foods you will actually eat.
I have dried beans listed but don't  recommend them.
(They take too much water and heat to prepare)
Rotate food often. Date the items when storing.
	
Total meals--One person in my home.
 			
Pasta	20lbs	Included in meals totals	
Rice	80lbs	Not counted in meals totals	
Flour	12lbs   Not counted in meals totals

Item	      Count	Meals
		
Rolled Oats	72	72  (I use 5 minute oats to save fuel)	
Grits	        24	24	
Ramen	        12	12	
Ragu	        13	26  (Depending on size, could be 39 meals)	
Teriaki Rice	14	14	
10 canned fish	10	10	
Canned Ham	2	4   (For me, this could go 6 meals)	
Soup	        26	26	
Ready Meals	19	19  (Hormel  Compleats and others)
Meats/chicken	24	24  (Total meals probably higher)	
Chili	         7	7	
Hash	        10	10	
Beans Canned	20	20  (With rice could double)	
2 lbs Beans	8	8	
Diced Tom	4	4	
Veggies	        25	25  (Combined with rice for meals)	
Spam	        7	14	
Pancake Mix	6	40  (These mixes only need water, no eggs)	
Powdered eggs	144	48  (3 eggs per meal)
Chef Boyardee  	20	20	
Canned Fruit	10	0   (not counted as meals)			
NOTE: I have Mulberry, apple, and Peach trees planted.			
			
Total Meals		427	
			
This does not count any garden veggies added to rice.			
Rice is not figured as a meal but could be just by 
adding veggies or alone			
Adding rice or pasta to any item doubles it's count			
Hence meals easily can become days in SHTF			
Plus: 			
12 gravy mixes (Flavoring for Rice or other?)
Misc spices for rice etc.			
6 Minute Rice Boxes

Just a rough guess but if I combine the above items with
rice and garden veggies, I have over a year in food.
Plus, I add a little more on a weekly basis. Perhaps $3-$4 worth.
It builds up fast if you keep at it.

Helpful Tip: As you add or subtract items,
mark them down on a clipboard. That way you know what to replace.
