I’d be buying in bulk from Costco, or another place if there’s better offerings in Anchorage, AK. Also, anything else for this emergency food tote(s)?

I did my first prep in AK over 15 years ago.
White food grade buckets from home depot.
Bags from sorbent system.
For each bucket holds about 22-25 lbs of beens. 18-20# of rice, 20 lbs pasta.
I went to Sam's got rice, beans, dry pasta( mac and spaghetti), flour,salt, pancake mix.
Some Canned meats as well like spam and canned chicken but I went to Walmart for most of that-like dinty moore and canned chunks of beef as well as soup
Multiple McCormick bottles of spices-like dried onion garlic parsley Italian mix. They also have seasoning mixes like taco, cajun etc.
BTW I'm still using them. I repackaged them in Mason jars with O2 Absorbers.
I got #10 cans of cheese sauce, spagetti sauce and a few veggies.
I got a big thing (7 gallons) of oil.
I moved this stuff over 8k miles from AK to ID to NC to UT.
All the bulk packed dry stuff was still good 15 years later.
Canned/wet items were used by 5 years later.
I would look past just beans and rice that would suck
