Stocking up on food for a Global Catastrophe

So, i've been reading up on possible disasters that could occur in the near future (aka 2012). One such event was an EMP type disaster from the sun. This solar maximum is rumored to be the largest ever recorded, and could easily disturb our fragile power grid. In such case, we would likely have to fend for ourselves and our families. A good example of this is in the book One Second After.
所以，我一直在閱讀近期可能發生的災難（又名2012）。一件這樣的事是由太陽而來的電磁脈衝式災難。傳言這最大太陽能是有記載以來最大，和很容易擾亂我們的脆弱電網。在這種情況下，我們可能要為我們自己和我們的家庭自食其力。一個很好的例子是在那叫'一秒之後'的書中。
What are some suggestions of good foods to stock up on?

How much should i stock up on? I have a grocery store within walking distance (about 1/4 mile), so should i forgo stocking up on food for the sake of not wasting money, and just have cash handy for day 1 if this event would occur?

This thread is NOT about discussing the possibility for such scenarios, rather how to properly prepare for one. Do not reply saying this will not happen, because that is not what i am asking. I would rather be safe than sorry.

其中二個好建議：

Those are very good suggestions. If it were me, first I would carefully check the expiration; because so many times I have bought something from the grocery just to see that it's almost expiring. Really frustrating.. haha..

It would be probably nice to have some gold with you but carefully hidden of course. Just good to know you have it handy.

In Asia the coconut tree is well respected and is called the tree of life. The fiber from the leaves can be used as ropes or string, The leaves themselves could be used as a makeshift roofing or clothing, of course there is the wood for fire or shelter or tool making, the fruit is edible and not to mention there is coconut water.

I'm not sure how long you could go on with the diet though.

If coconuts don't grow where you are staying, there is probably a similar plant or tree that can be up for the job.

Bamboos are also good to have near you; you could use them for all sorts of things.

Chickens are quite easy to raise, provided you have access to water and feeds.

I know some people who raise pigs.. makes quite a racket, and not easy on the nose too so that's probably out of the question. I don't think I would be doing that.

Books, and a whole lot's of books. Specially the survival guides. I make the habit of wrapping my books in plastic covers just to add some extra protection.

Hope this helps
