I would guess that your provisioning would depend on how well you can cook(can you make thousand island dressing from scratch?), and what youre willing to tolerate as food.

If you didnt know the 4 ingredients instantly get some cooking lessons and start preparing meals from scratch - Watch food network alot, ittl help.

first thing I would do to get started is track what you eat now. I have a regular grocery list in excel that Ive used for about 20 years. Ive found that the list reflects your eating habits and the after a while of using your list youll end up seeing how boring and predictable your typical shopping trips really are. From there determine what you can do with out ( frozen perishables mostly) and what pre-prepared foods you can make on your own and what you can get fresh or catch. Start with condiments and sauce/gravy mixes and move from there. Theyll be the backbone of what you do from there.

Look at survival sites, they have a lot of info on preserving and loading out for extended periods of time.
