I would buy fruits like apples and pears that keep for a while, even if you lose power (but would get ruined if you put them outside in the below freezing weather). And, I just bought a yummy 3 lb bag of Spanish Clemintines, they are great for a snack. You can of course pile up on chips crackers, pretzels, but not as healthy. I think someone mentioned flash light and batteries, and a candle or too, best to have a hurricane lamp, safer than a typical candle. Prepare meat dishes ahead of time so they are already cooked, and something that you won’t mind eating if you can’t warm it up like chicken legs. Maybe some deli meats, but very little, don’t go overboard stocking up on thins like that. I like to keep a heavy duty styrofoam container in my house in case power goes out, instead of bringing everything outside while it is a blizzard outside. And, if you think there is a chance your pipes could freeze you could buy some bottled water and if you are really nervous about pipes freezing plug up a bathtub and hold water in it so you can flush the toilet even if you have to turn off your water, but I think that rarely happens, that is more hurricane preparedness thingy.
