I have stocked-up on everyday items, I have a 180 day supply of required medication and my spare bedroom is filled with everything I will need to survive the next commodity shortage. You may think that I am hoarding, but I am preemptively protecting and providing for my family if the need should arise. I hope that nothing will happen, but just in case, I hope you guys are also taking precautions for the next round of "POSSIBLE" shortages. Be Safe and proactive.

I do NOT think that consumer goods will become unavailable. That said there could be other, worse, social shocks to come. I would caution that the freezer storing meat and the stove to cook them will DEPEND on ELECTRICITY. So, I would suggest canned fish and meats and canned vegetables. I would add some fresh items like carrots and apples - then some dried fruits. Canned soups would be a nice treat and could be put out in the sun to raise the temperature before eating. Also, a solar cooker could be made or purchased. But, if things were to go "south" then do NOT expect electricity to be supplied. A gas generator might help, but then you are dependent on supplies of gasoline.
