You are leaving out dried beans--lentils, favas and chickpeas if you

You also didn't include dried meat and fish.

So far as the Y2K application, and leaving aside my scepticism about

dried milk, peanut butter and beans for what you would spend for 
tomato sauce, olives, mustards, etc.

Lentils are very convenient. Olive oil or sesame oil keeps fine. Oat 
cakes from (real, not rolled) oat meal are easy to make and tasty. 
Clarified butter keeps, and with that and flour you can make pan 
bread. Pasta. ...
