Anthony, do you mean food storage when its supply in the market is irregular? Some people also convert money into consumer goods in the time of hyperinflation. In an extreme case food can occupy substantial fraction of housing and this will bring lower utility, so some indirect cost for HH. Storage of food in refrigerator also has some energy cost. But we normally do it because going every day for shopping may take too much time, which can have some value.
If by "the cost of storage" you mean the cost of energy storage, perhaps I can suggest you to take a look at this paper: http://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/9/9/745. Here we made an English-written cost-benefit analysis of how energy could be harvested, stored and consumed for different scenarios, and whether there was a chance to nake a profit from it.
A cost-benefit analysis was performed in this paper to determine the economic viability of energy storage used in residential and large scale applications.
