Most of it is certainly impractical to stockpile. Certainly stockpile
flour, cornmeal and the like, since they store at reasonably high
density and you can make the bulky items like bread, pasta, etc. from
them as needed.

Eggs freeze very well as liquid egg product. I tested this with a carton
of liquid whole egg product (Pasteurized, homogenized with a bit of
citric acid) from Restaurant Depot that I froze for a good year and a
half then defrosted and used. I made some of it into basic scrambled
eggs since that would highlight any quality issues and there were none.

Fresh meats and vegetables - yea, they certainly won't store in a fresh
state, you'll have to process and freeze them, but then they can
stockpile just fine.
