I think: water, canned food, canned meat, cookies, bread, toilet paper to last a month (6 big rolls?) is okay. Can opener. That is all I can think of.

The rant.
I went to the grocery stores last year when the hurricane was coming. I was just topping off what I had. I noticed this...
The milk, eggs, bread, water and toilet paper sections were empty.
Now, I get the water and bread... but why milk, eggs and toilet paper.
Milk: Not really the best thing if the power goes out.
Eggs: Hard to cook without electric, and how would you travel with it if evacuating.
Toilet Paper: How much do you really need?
The end.

To address your rant: Because it is what we bought up north before a snowstorm.We watched our parents and grandparents prepare the same way.
Natural gas is more common in the north, we could still cook.
Refrigeration? The whole outdoors is a refrigerator.
French toast is really good in a blizzard!
The toilet paper ~ gettin' kinda personal. . .
