I want to fill my cold room in the basement with hundreds of cans of food. What are the best choices and how should I go about getting them all?

All appreciated. Totally new here, don’t know what I don’t know.

    My suggestion is just to buy extra of what you normally eat, and actually use your supply in everyday meals. Take your older cans first and continually replenish with new ones. This keeps your supply fresh.

    If you don’t currently use canned goods, now is the time to experiment and see what you like. Once you know your preferences, wholesale stores are pretty good for buying in bulk.

      This is good advice. It’s what I do (but not 2000). I made a menu of foods we like, figured out the ingredients, and calculated enough to last three months. Then put them on a separate shopping list and waited for sales.

      I check my inventory each month. Lately I’ve been lazy and we ate most of it. Also, inflation is fucking with the prices I used to pay.
