Or you might be doing it for religious reasons: https://www.lds.org/topics/food-storage?lang=eng https://www.lds.org/topics/food-storage?lang=eng (Devout Mormons are supposed to maintain a stockpile of food. I suspect Costco get much of their custom for this preparedness pack from members of the LDS ...)

Religious reasons are just insanity reasons proxies through family and friends.

  Most successful religions have a small dose of insanity and identity carrying a payload of genuinely good moral and practical advice. Stockpiling food is a rational, practical thing to do. The "insanity" in LDS has more to do with things like transdimensional space gods or dodgy, ahistoric ideas about where the American Indians came from.
