STEP 1: Invest in one of these babies and one of these so you don't spend an arm and leg for printing.

STEP 2: Bulk buy 500 ct. paper at $3 a pop. Bulk buy really big cheap binders for $6. Let's say color is not important, you'll be printing at $0.03 for black and white. Each piece of paper will cost $0.003 (taking printing front and back into account). A big ass hole puncher will set you back $30. Your initial investment is around $500 for laser printer, scanner, and hole puncher. Cost per product ($500)/# of products + $9 x # of products + $0.033 x pages

STEP 3: Profit (?)

A random dump of ideas:

Keep a "bugout" USB stick in your bag, with scanned copies of all of your important documents (preferably encrypted), as well as some useful tools that you want to be able to run from anywhere. Many apps can be installed in a portable fashion. Since the critical data doesn't change often, I just update the stick once per year during holiday break.
For home storage, I would recommend getting a home NAS unit from a reputable manufacturer; preferably one that uses copy-on-write to protect against silent data corruption. (Ever opened a picture or video that had scrambled visuals? That's silent data corruption). I have a Netgear ReadyNAS, and it has plugins that allow replication to Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. It can also configure local backups to an attached portable USB drive.
The way I handle sensitive documents, is to get a decent bulk-scanner and scan them into an encrypted volume, which is automatically synced to cloud storage.
If you want "everything-proof" archival storage, look into M-Disc. They were designed by Mormon engineers to live longer than your grand-kids. They aren't cost-effective for large amounts of data, but they are ideal for deep storage of critical stuff that won't change (like family photos, tax returns, etc).
There are some peer-to-peer grid storage solutions, like Resilio Sync, which let you configure your own "cloud storage" between linked devices. This could be handy for keeping a certain set of critical info synced across your home network, so in a "grid down" situation, everyone will have the same data pulled locally. If you can maintain power to a home router or mesh network (as well as your NAS), you can at least keep some of the storage accessible or in-sync.
Most portable devices can be kept charged and powered with a 12v solar + battery system. There are plenty of retail and DIY methods of doing this, but you will get better price/performance if you learn how to DIY.
For access to the data, the key is to keep power requirements low. If your storage device and network gear can be powered by USB or 12V DC power, all the better. You only need the storage and network gear powered on for long enough to pull or sync the involved files; maintaining 24/7 access is a waste of power. Ideally you should be able to turn any off-the-shelf device into a "bugout" device, with a few app installs and some sync time with your storage device. Text / ebooks are the easiest to keep accessible, as e-readers last for weeks or months on a charge. Video / entertainment is more difficult, because it is compute-intensive and will drain batteries quickly.

The above sounds expensive, but you can start small and scale up. The first step is to isolate the data you deem critical, and figure out a way to automatically sync and back up that data. A key thing to remember, is that not everything needs disaster-level backups. The smaller the footprint of your "critical data", the cheaper and easier it is to back up. For example, I have multiple TB of home network storage, but maybe 50GB of it gets the prepper/apocalypse backup treatment. Oh hey, that fits on a $20 USB stick!

Think of it this way: if your government, your insurance company, a credit bureau, or your employer loses track of your financial or account information... do you have enough documentation to prove your identity, your assets, and your liabilities?
