These are the grocery items you should have in stock before a winter storm

An article on CNN quoted Joann Sands about preparing for winter storms. These kinds of storms -- and their aftermath -- can cut off heat, power or communication services, according to the article. It's important that you don't panic-buy and try and fill your fridge, Sands said. "How are you going to be able to store this food if you don't have power?" Sands said, adding that stocking up on extra groceries can not only lead to wasted food but could hurt others that may not be able to find what they're looking for.
