I have been doing the same as you with my shelter buckets, I have made the buckets into my seating in the shelter actually. So far we have an emergency supply bucket, food/water bucket, slop bucket, blanket buckets and each has a personal bucket with a couple of changes of clothes. I am still needing to cut some foam to make a pistol/mag/ammo bucket where I just have to load the bucket with weapons on the bad days (think layers)
The only thing I did different is there is a great little thrift store on the back side of lumber liquidators, on Reno and meridian. So far we only have about 3 days of clothes for each of us but that 3 days for 3 people ran us under $20, that is excluding socks and undies because that is just icky.
On a side note my wife packed herself some feminine hygiene stuffs and her basic makeup/ toiletries. I did the same but added a little of my jueveos dont chafe stuff and junk. I figure if all goes bad I will probably be working pretty hard and walking funny won't do.
