People often wonder how much to store and there is not a definitive answer. It will be different for different people. Store what you eat, and eat what you store and please never say "it is there if we need it" because statistics show that you wont eat it. You will starve because you do not know what to do with it, or you think it is gross and are not used to it, or it will wreak such havoc on your body you will be sick and then die. Everyone in my house stunk for about a week after I introduced wheat into our diet- I would not want to introduce anything new into our diet during a calamity. Here is a general idea of how much basics we should have.
per person, per year:
300 lbs. grain (that is wheat, rice, oats, dry corn)
60-75 lbs. dairy products (milk, butter, cheese)
5 lbs. salt
20 lbs. fats (cooking oils, shortening)
60 lbs. legumes (dry beans, dry peas, peanut butter)
1 gallon water a day per person- bare minimum!
