"Emergency" foods

Now that I'm at my "permanent" spot at work (about 70 percent of us just moved desks because of shift changes), I am planning on slowly building up a reserve of emergency foods and snack foods. (By emergency foods, I mean things that I can eat if I've forgotten my lunch at home.) Things I'm thinking of getting:

Lara Bars (I love the Cherry Pie flavor. Yummy. I'm not, however, a big fan of anything of theirs that is cocoa/chocolate.)
Shelf-stable packs of tuna (or, perhaps, in tuna in a can.)
Gluten-free soups (canned)
Maybe some nuts
Gluten free crackers
Jar of peanut butter
Canned fruit/veggies
Dried fruit/veggies

I have at my disposal: a toaster (hesitant to use, because of cross-contamination), a microwave, hot water, and a can opener. They also provide plastic silverware and paper plates. Any other food suggestions? (Don't forget that I need them to be gluten-free!)

  • I try to have stuff like this around as well. I'm not so good at restocking if I've used something up!

    I love noodle soups - and my favorite are Thai Kitchen brand - with rice noodles. I think they would work for you! I like Luna bars too, but I'm not sure where they are with gluten. I know it's Soy protein...

    I can't eat peanut butter (peanuts trigger migraines) so other nut butters are good too!
