Water storage: 1 gallon per person per day
FEMA recommends that everyone have enough food and water for, I believe, at least 3 months.
I encourage you to get in the habit of picking up an extra jug of water, and canned / dry food every time you shop.
Sure, you're not likely to need it, but this is two of the three requirements for human survival, and a fire extinguisher isn't even on the list. (Shelter is the other.) Consider the possibility of people in your household simultaneously becoming unemployed - having food covered would be nice.
FEMA suggests commercially bottled water because it keeps well. I think at my local store, gallon jugs are actually the cheapest (less than $1 per gallon).

There are, of course, a number of options for ordering food for long term storage by the pallet:

cathijosephine will not drink is Poland Spring.
1 year of food and water seems like a good goal to me.
I finally got around to watching Zombieland. I watched it twice.
(The Boston area suddenly ran out of drinkable tap water Saturday.)

1) my folks always bought deer park and I just became accustomed to it.
2) I remember in the late 90s/early 00s about some issue Poland Spring had with one of their plants.
3) My roommate in college drank Poland Spring and I just grew to despise everything he's stood for.
How about you?
