I think I’m just unclear on what exactly it is that I’m supposed to be stocking up on, it’s not like the supermarket sell MREs. I mean I have tinned soup and ravioli and stuff but that still needs power to heat up. So I’m really just left with crackers and biscuits and things and bottled water but even that has a shelf life.
With a lot of canned stuff you don’t need to heat it up (this includes soup). You just eat it right out of the can. Heating it up is a luxury, but it’s completely edible right from the can. If you’re worried, shake it slightly first then open and eat.

Fire, barbeque or gas stove works without electricity.
Army surplus and outdoor shops have food that lasts years and don’t need refrigeration.
Bottled water is a scam. If you can drink your tapwater, use that and fill up a few big water jugs. Rotate every few months.
Most things have a shelf life but you should be rotating your stocks often enough to not let things spoil.
