What Food Prepping Have You Done?
Most of my emergency food purchases for storage up to this point has been canned goods and other staples with a shelf life of 1 1/2 to 3 years.
I bought a lot of canned white chicken breast meat from Sams Club along with SPAM, tuna, etc. Also 25 lb boxes of rice and quite a bit of salt.
Also found that spaghetti sauce in jars sometimes has a long shelf life with expiration dates a couple of years out so stocked up on that also.
Now that I have a decent stash of short term emergency food I am starting to buy "real" emergency food that has a very long shelf life so I don't have to worry about using it every couple of years before it expires.
My first purchase was twelve 28oz cans (21lbs total) of canned hamburger meat with a 15 year shelf life. My second purchase has been a 38 lb bucket of corn meal and 45 lb bucket of red wheat that both have a 30 year shelf life. Sams Club has started carrying emergency food at their online store and even with pretty expensive freight due to the weight the pricing was great.
I plan on buying more of those two items along with bulk sugar, beans, rice, etc that all have a very long shelf life.
I also plan on buying the buckets of freeze dried emergency good that efoods, Wise foods, Mountain House, etc produce along with some high calories emergency food bars.
Not actually food but related to it are a couple of other things on my to buy list. One is a Big Berkey water filter and another is a solar oven. Both are big ticket items so I will have to budget for them over time ($260 for the Big Berkey and around $200-250 for the solar oven)

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
