but mostly because my house mate / landlord would really not understand. Anyroad, the housemate is away for a week so I decided to pull all my food out of the places I stored it and inventory. I am happysad I did. 
Like everyone says. A little at a time. Thats all i can do because i have to do it under my girlfriends nose. I grocery shop for a weeks worth of food to keep in the cupboards. Except i grocery shop every 5-6 days. So every week i put away anywhere from 1 meal to a whole days food.
Humungous is spot on. Getting a well rounded stash to eat unrationed for 3-4 weeks seems like a real hump to get over. After that is set, then the pile seems to grow like mad.
One meal, one day, one week, one month. I am not dug in for years or anything. My first goal was a month on top of the weeks worth out in the kitchen. After that i focused on some tools for a little bit. Kerosene stove, solar oven, water filter, bike with one of those kid hauler towables converted into a small "trailer", grain grinder, etc. After that, spent some time/money learning skills. Get a few types of raw grain and make a few loaves of bread from each, start a fire without any matches or lighter. Wash your body without turning on a faucet.
IMHO skills are of greater than or equal value to stored food, and many are free to learn. You have a good start. If a storm shuts off the water and electric to your house for 2 weeks, you might stink, but you wont be starving or dehydrated. Thats way better then most can say.
