Best Low-Cost Ways to Boost Your Emergency Supplies?

Looking for ideas to build up emergency supplies on a tight budget—what are your go-to items for stocking up without breaking the bank? I rely a lot on home-canned goods and foraged herbs, but curious what others find reliable and cheap for longer-term storage.

Bulk dry beans and lentils are super cheap and last ages, plus they're so versatile. I also save every glass jar I get—it’s amazing how handy they become for storing dried herbs, rice, even seeds for next year’s planting. Foraging is a lifesaver too; dandelion roots and nettle dry well and pack a nutritional punch. Anyone else tried vacuum sealing with old jars instead of buying new containers?
