What exactly to stockpile?

I am going out this evening to buy food we can eat for three days without cooking. But what? So far I thought,
Tinned sardines
Bread for the freezer
Jam and marmite
Nuts
Wine

What else would you buy? Please don't talk about things you can cook, I just want things that need no cooking but we could live on for three days. Thanks.

I got the new M&S Beans in glass jars - Mexican, Indian and Tomato sauces.

For no-cook: tinned fish and beans (ring-pull tins, or keep a manual opener), crackers, oatcakes, peanut butter, UHT milk, cereal, tinned fruit, dried fruit and nuts, cereal bars. Pick what your family already eats, as nobody wants unfamiliar food in a stressful week. Plus water: about 3 litres per person per day.

We’ve stocked up on gas canisters and have a camping stove so we can cook. Means things like pasta and rice are available too.
