Come on guys, where's your ingenuity?
Step 1: Think of a location where you could live which has plenty of daylight and a temperate climate. You want it to be somewhat dry, but with readily available fresh water and rain, with sunshine and fertile soil, and probably as little ice and snow as possible. Preferably close to city of some size, so as to make procuring raw goods easier, but also away from anything that might become hazardous anytime soon...like an unmanned nuclear plant or a chemical factory.
Step 2: Collect canned goods and living necessities, set up a home somewhere appropriate and potentially defensible (if you think that will be a concern against other refugees, zombies, mutants, whatever). You only have a year or two, maybe 3 tops, before all of the canned goods in the stores start to become dangerous to eat. MRE's can sustain you a bit longer than that, but sooner or later you're going to have to start growing your own food.
Step 3: Once your basic survival needs are taken care of, hit up all the material goods you might consider needing. Tools, furniture, medicine, etc. Collect all the books you can, since information is going to be your best friend now: Manuals, guidebooks, maps, almanacs, medical books, everything you need to learn to survive. Stockpile anything you don't immediately need in watertight containers and make sure it's organized. Once all the stores start collapsing, and their stock is ruined by weather, you won't have a second chance!
Step 4: Provide for creature comforts. Pick up some nice TVs and computers and movies and games and whatever else your heart desires. Remember those manuals you picked up? Now it's time to learn how to build a solar array, or a wind turbine generator. You can have all the electricity you want if you just harness it from nature. There are portable solar generators capable of powering a laptop almost indefinitely, so with the proper application of technology, you'd have all the digital media you like.
Step 5: Now that you're prepared with supplies and knowledge, set up a homestead where you'll be comfortable living for the foreseeable future. Plant some fruit trees, set up a garden, learn to cook and clean and maybe raise livestock...generally go all Harvest Moon. Start brewing your own beer, learn to play an instrument... Personally, I'd pick someplace near the coast, maybe even get a nice big boat and an RV, so I can conceivably travel a bit before the gasoline stores in the stations breaks down.
