I ended up taking the dried beans out(because I use them all the time and like someone said upthread, they take time) and adding an assortment of canned ones including bakes ones. Also picked up some canned chili.

Got a bunch of mac/cheese, dried soup mixes, noodle mixes and canned soup.

And syrup, catsup, mustard, salt, cooking oil, pepper, dried garlic, onion flakes, chili powder, etc.

Also added some jars of baby food, baby cereal, powdered milk, ovaltine, cocoa mix and an assortment of V-8's.

Added some canned fruit, jello mix, dried fruit, some different muffin mixes, bisquick, cereal bars and nuts.

I think it's a good mix and thank everyone for their help and ideas.
