Water Source
For extended, short-term, long-term preparedness or any survival planning, Water is crucial. One should store up 1 gal. Jugs of water for emergency use & keep in a cool dark place or pantry. As long as the containers are clean & sanitary, the slight hint of chlorine from the tap should be enough to maintain potability.
Or large container storage, again keeping it cool & dark, maintaining a sanitizing kit, considering the bacteria possibility (this seems to only apply to large containers).
An average person needs to drink 1 gal. a day for proper hydration 
Roughly 80% of the average people in America are dehydrated & don’t even realize it, they think that they’re sick instead. For this reason & survival of a catastrophe I recommend this book.
So I have to estimate this with how many people in a household, times the number of days of readiness, this was the #1 issue in New Orleans, water!
Or I can also consider emergency water filtration & purification options, in addition to, as depicted in the emergency survival kit. Keeping in mind that the water around you may be contaminated with pollution, bacteria, sediment, etc. I will look for the cleanest source, river or lake, to filter or sanitize.

I believe that I can get “Top Romen Soup” or buy “Bulk” noodles, at a local store that sells “Bulk” and do this cheaper.
Get Bullion soup powder in “Bulk”. And even get a Seal A Meal Kit
I would suggest getting multi-vitamins from a “Dollar Store” (High in vitamin B, minerals) and put a bottle of them into each 5 gal. bucket, on top, before sealing it. Nutrition minded!

Garden
In the face of today’s economic hardship, recession? News media claims that it’s 8% unemployment, I say something a little bit worst, possibly 20%, 1 out of 4 people that I’ve talked to are unemployment, guess estimate. I highly urge you to take up vegetable gardening to help supplement your household groceries, there are many groups doing community gardens & co-ops, start with your church for possible contacts.
In a cultural collapse, Can you produce your own food if times got tough?
The concept of a survival seed vault has become more widespread over the last several years. More and more families are gaining food independence by growing non-hybrid vegetable seeds. The health benefits of non-gmo seeds are more widely known now than in years past, and people are taking a stand against high super market prices.
But then disaster strikes, and you have to ask yourself some questions:
–Can I feed my family from the garden if I have to?
–Do I have the right kind of seeds for my region? Can I save the seeds from my harvest to plant the following year?
The Survival Seed Vault was designed to allow you to answer Yes to all of these questions! Cost Effective!

Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse, is novel set in the near future that describes a full scale socioeconomic collapse. More than just an exciting read, it is packed with useful survival and preparedness tips. It was described by one reviewer as “A survival manual neatly dressed as fiction.” Patriots has a 4.5 star average reader rating on Amazon.com, with more than 120 reviews posted. An earlier short draft edition of the novel was distributed as shareware on the Internet in the early 1990s. At the time, despite the relatively small readership of the Internet, it had more than 82,000 downloads, making it the net´s most popular shareware novel of the decade. It was hosted at seven mirror sites on three continents.
“Patriots” is distinctly pro-Christian, pro-preparedness, pro-gun ownership, and anti-racist. It is considered a “must read” by those are concerned with the fragility of our society, and those interested in preparedness. It is also popular in Libertarian circles. “Patriots” was authored by James Wesley Rawles.
