    Sorry but I don’t think you understand that there are people out there that don’t have the spare change to buy an extra fridge, bottle of water, and 20 packets of noodles.

      These shouldn’t be “extra” really. It should be food you eat already, so it’s basically “Keep your pantry stocked” level of “preparing”.

      And I get it, money is tight. 3 minutes without air 3 hours without shelter 3 days without water 3 weeks without food

      Start with water. You can upcycle 2L soda bottles (Rinse them, and don’t think about using upcycled milk jugs). And honestly, most Americans are storing 5 days+ of calories right on their bodies.

      After water, buy 1 or two extra canned goods each shopping trip. Or a bag of rice. Or a box of Ramen.
