Well some people do freeze meat. Fresh fruit and veg won't do you any good
unless you can or freeze them and then I think it's only feasible to do if
they are given to you or you grow your own.

Soy sauce? Maybe, but seriuosly we eat very little of it. I will likely
buy an extra bag or two of popcorn. We do eat a lot of that and it will
keep for a year. Longer if frozen. We drink diet Soda and that is really
only good for a few months.

will go up. And a lot!
