Store your 2 liter soda bottles for purifying water using the sodis method. I live in Florida and have nearly 400 gallons of rain water storage. It pretty well stays topped off since we have so much rain. If I ever have to use it for potable water I will be using sodis and pool shock prior to consumption. Boiling is fool proof but it's a good bet that if you don't have water then you won't have electricity as well. Unless you go with solar cooking you will want to save your fuel for cooking.

Hi Rick
I'm talking about storing water in 55 and 35 gallon food grade barrels for years. Bottled water from the store when fresh is good for a few years but I'm talking about Disaster Supplies. In the upcoming predicted Ca Quake some areas could lose safe municipal water for weeks if not months. Also bleach is good for surface sterilization and cleaning.
You can buy the 1/2 and 1 oz bottles to add to water barrels but why spend $12 when a few cents of bleach will do the same thing?
