Canned foods

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.
I see where you’re going with that, but I’m thinking more like… oh society collapsed? Well no fear because 2000 cans of soup. But how long can that stuff realistically last in storage? Some must be better than others, right?
- Don't forget to consider how you'll keep a fridge/freezer running during outages to protect your perishables - a decent power station is just as important as those cans when shit hits the fan (check out gearscouts.com for comparisons if ur looking).
