I'm not into the whole prepper culture, I live in a city so if sh*t really goes down I'm loading up my touring bike and leaving.
But I do have some things that are quite cheap and easy to get. 4 big jugs of water, total of 160 liters iirc. I rotate them out every 6 months.
One crank operated radio+usb power bank+torch.
First aid kit.
~80 days of powdered meal replacement, not for prepping but because I eat it normally as a snack or quick lunch. So I tend to order 45 bags in a box each time and that means I have between 50-80 days worth at any given time. I'm still on a big box of Plenny shake but when that is up I'm thinking of trying Huel.
Water purification tablets and gas camping stove is something I had for a long time because I love camping. And a lot of other little knick knacks for camping like a knife, flint and steel, bicycle maps of the region, compass and more.
Simple solar charger for USB, enough to charge my phone in a couple of hours on a sunny day. It's actually a foldable version that I bring on bicycle tours.

You need to prepare (yeah right) for long periods of high heat, potential middle to long term lack of food availability, potential water rationing, job market and especially money market being completely weird and so on. Power outages are possible and persistent, sure. Having some skills and hardware not reliant on power is prudent, but I'd expect more of a throttle than complete outages, esp. AC and non critical businesses being throttled. Focusing on power efficient or manual devices could help. I hope you don't have medical conditions... 99% of "bug out" stuff will be worthless in these situations. Yes, including the solar chargers. And your liters of water won't do against general rationing.
