Absolutely false.  Not even close.  As a person who lives in the 
"hurricane belt", I can assure you of this.

You're thinking of a "whole-house generator", and they cost a LOT more 
than that.  I was meaning a temporary use type of generator, that will 
run the fridge, some lights, a fan, even a microwave (all at once).  You 
can get a decent one of those for $600-700-ish.  You don't even have to 
run it continuously, I've run one for an hour or so to keep things cold, 
and then shut if off for (easily) 6 hours before running again.

Processed food is probably more expensive on average than "real" food.  
Get some potatoes, fresh veggies, fruits, maybe some hamburger.  All 
cheap and healthy, and with near-ZERO sodium content.  Seriously, it 
would cost half as much and do wonders for your health.

Don't think anybody was talking about traveling, that's irrelevant.

Again this seems like an irrelevant comment...  If you're talking about 
standing for food prep/cooking, get a "barstool" or similar so you can 
sit while you do it.  Seriously man, it's not difficult.  You tell us 
about all of your health conditions, and yet..... you eat only processed 
foods and only use a microwave to cook.  Has it ever occurred to you 
that there may be a connection between your eating habits and your 
health....????

You can fix some of that, and save money at the same time.  Git-R-Done.
