Yes, get in bread, stuff like peanut butter that does not need cooking or heating, any of the usual every day foods which you would not cook.

If you lose power try to keep the refrigerator and freezer closed to help hold in the cold. Only once in 18 yrs did we lose power for more than a few hours.
Completely agree with most of this post but bread gets moldy. Especially, in a hot home that has no electricity for days or weeks. You have to purchase non-perishable goods. Learned this the hard way! Never made that mistake again!
