Good idea; when I get home I ought to do this.

(Unfortunately I currently lack important-seeming things to implement this: travel by means other than train for moving largish amount of sale-purchased goods, kitchen-allocated storage space that can store more volume than the bare essentials of the cooking I do (and I have the largest cupboard of my roommates), access to an effective sale-cycle to participate in for this (Norway is weird and not great about sale-cycles (in part I'm just totally untuned to them and everything is very very expensive), and also I'm living in large part off of First Price, the local minimum-cost unbranded brand, which is still cheaper than many other brands when they're on sale and even when I was back home, it was non-trivial trouble to get to stores on a regular basis so I ended up shopping very inefficiently and not being able to check for sales regularly), only spending another 9-10 months on this continent so I don't think I could get a sense for my long-term needs in time for them to be messed up changed again.(I value eating good food very highly, and making "eat good food" and "don't spend a fuck-ton of time and money on food" means dictating your cooking to local idiosyncrasies of food access to a substantial extent, to my feeling))

All that reasoning is super oriented towards the sales-pricing aspect most of all, which is most important to me, compared to emergency supplies (which is important but easy to ignore. I should work on it, though).
