However, this is exactly the kind of SHTF scenario that preppers need to be ready for, because one day the lights might go out, and if you aren't ready for it, all your food might just go to waste. If you don't want your family to suddenly starve and have to resort to scavenging for food, you need to prepare for life without refrigeration. Here are three ways that you can do that.

Stock up on foods that don't require refrigeration

One of the easiest things you can do to prepare for the possibility of blackouts is to make some drastic changes to your weekly shopping list. This will help you stockpile foods that don't perish easily, such as dried goods and canned foods. Some of the foods that you can buy will include:

Pastas

Nuts

Beans and lentils

Cereals

Rice

Canned soups and vegetables

Honey

Meals, Ready-to-Eat (MRE)
