You dont have to be rich to prepare for emergency. FEMA says that every family should have at least a few weeks worth of food put away for emergency.
I once wrote an article on disaster preparedness and the suggestions of FEMA here:

We often go to the local dollar store. The real dollar store, where everything is a dollar. There is also a lot of good food to be found in the dollar stores. I mean quality food without a lot of artificial ingredients.
I often buy a few extra cans of food when shopping at the dollar store and put it away for emergency. In this way, I am not spending too much extra for survival food, and I am not going out of my way to shop for it either.
Look for deals at the grocery store as well. Sometimes canned food goes on sale for as low as 30 cents each. When I see these deals, I grab an entire case of each type of vegetables. This gives you a lot of food for a very low price.
If you start to spend just a few dollars extra each month to put away the food, then soon you will have a nice stock of survival food for emergency.
One important thing to remember when shopping for survival food is to buy things you already eat and love. A huge mistake with preppers is to buy a bunch of stuff they dont even like, in hopes of living off of it during a survival situation.
People have actually starved to death sitting by food that they did not like or did not want to eat. This is something you can avoid by purchasing food you like.
Use your survival food and keep it up to date. Replace what you use. Keep your survival food rotated. Eat the older food and put the new food in the back of the shelf. By using the food you have for emergency, it will be more comfortable if disaster ever strikes.

as a health education specialist i can testify that majority of food found at the dollar store is UNHEALTHY and should not be considered a standard food source.
Easy to stock up when your viewers pay for eveything including your wife
have you ever eaten the crap they sell at dollar stores? My dogs wouldn't eat it and I wouldn't make them
People have actually starved to death sitting by food that they did not like or did not want to eat.
I’m not sure if that statement is 95% or 100% BULLSHIT.
Its 100% bullshit just like the entire load of crap he just wrote. He has stated elsewhere that he can't eat that crap because of the chemicals. If he actually read the contents he would find the only ones that don't have all the crap are extremely expensive and the dollar store wouldn't carry them. He would starve to death if he had to depend on himself for survival. Remember his knife incident? hahahaha
according to the survival guru you will always be eating old shit from your stockpile. This is the idiot that got a write up in the Australian newspapers for being a whimp.

Can you please show proof of your reference to where you quote that people have "starved to death sitting by food they did not like to eat".....
Buy dollar store can goods for SHTF?
Good advice, considering your gardening skills suck and you have no food preservative skills.
Mommy has to come to make salsa and ketchup for you!
Then she tells you to leave in your video while making it because you're annoying her!
You have never written an article in your life...
You are just linking to blog posts on your shitty blog that
is 95% ads and 5% bullshit ramblings and nonsense...
Dip=shit Turd claims he ie working or FEMA now!!!!!
if troy reid worked for FEMA then he should be able to provide proof in the form of a badge like mine:
he probably calls fema for help on a regular basis and they told him to just eat a bullet and everything will be OK.
