Storing food for the winter (or just a long day)

If you've worked in an office environment without immediate access to food, I'd be willing to bet that you started to build up some sort of food stockpile eventually. Currently, mine looks a little like this:

-A box of instant oatmeal packets.
-About 25 granola bars (purchased in bulk from Big Lots)
-A can of mixed nuts.
-A rotation of fresh fruit, usually oranges and bananas.

This actually pales in comparison to one of my co-workers. At one point, he has an entire drawer filled with ramen cups, a bunch of the flavor mix pouches for instant beverages, sunflower seeds, nuts, jerky, cans of Pringles, trail mix, croutons (for some reason) and a bunch of Sweet and Low. It's the like the strangest emergency kit I've ever seen! And quite possibly the craziest part is that he actually goes through this pretty regularly.

Speaking of food, time for yet another super-late lunches!

I've got a bunch of tea & gum, instant coffee, a box of cereal, a gallon sized bag of really old candy, some* raw sugar, dried papaya, candied ginger, miso soup, cough drops, wasa crackers, a jar of peanut butter and bandaids. Most of the non-beverage items should probably be cleared out. Oh, I also have a non-electric, single cup, drip brew coffee thing. With filters & coffee.

Hi. Yes. I'm THAT coworker.

*And by "some", I mean "a resealable bag of".
