Last year I bought about a month's supplies and simply kept them loose in cloth bags in the shed. It all kept beautifully so this year I may try for 2 months supply. (And yes my shed has mouse stations in it as I do not want to share.)
I may do some dehydrating but with the new cost of the power to do that I will do the sums first.

Re: Cheapo Xmas veg is back
I picked up ten heads of broccoli for the freeze dryer a couple of days ago. They're ready in the freezer for now, until the celebrations are over and I can go visiting. 25% of what I dry is given as payment for the use of the dryer.
I've dehydrated stuff in the past too, with varying degrees of success. Mainly due to having pieces that were too thick, not laying them out properly, etc. I like having shelf stable stuff, that doesn't rely on anything external (such as electricity) to keep it safe. I have a freezer packed full of food, but that needs electricity. I do have a cheap generator, but it'll be noisy and expensive. Better to have things on the shelf, I reckon.
