How many days of food in your house
October 30, 2017 at 2:32 pm
If I cook/eat everything I've got, maybe two to three weeks worth. The meals would consist mostly of rice or pasta with veggies. Yet I go to the market twice a week, mostly to buy fresh. (or what passes for fresh here in fly over zone)
Some acquaintances of mine have months and months worth. They are usually either food hoarders or live in apocalypse fear. One guy was trying to get me to buy into a dehydrated food service. Knowing him it was probably a MLM scheme.
How long could you eat on what you've got?
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Probably 3-4 weeks, though things would get a bit monotonous after two. We have a stockpile I (half) jokingly refer to as the hoard.

About two weeks worth. Then it's long pig from the neighborhood for as long as the ammunition holds out.

Maybe a week. Most of the food shops we frequent are a reasonable walking distance, there's a Market Day once a week, and the supermarket in Paihai delivers for a nominal fee. We just don't have a need to 'stock up'.

Too long. I wish we shopped more just for what we planned to eat for a particular day. Instead we have cupboards of impulse buys which we may finally eat. Hell we could probably eat for half a week out of the refrigerator alone. Another week out of the freezer. The cupboards might take us a week and half further. If it was up to me I'd commit much more to fresher and optimism, let tomorrow take care of itself. No bomb shelters for me.

It varies, but at the moment we could probably go about a week to 10 days. I have a large frozen chicken in the freezer, some pasta and sauce, soup-making materials, milk, cheese, eggs, beans, and baking supplies.

7 days, except for some long life staples like spices, herbs, lentils etc.
My wife has canned chickpeas that would probably survive armageddon.

I've probably got enough for three or four weeks, depending upon who's home.
I had a clear out recently and found tinned items from 2014, thought about eating it then came to my senses.
