How many days of food in your house
|
3 or 4 days, most of the time... as the 1 day mark is about to hit, I go shopping and take it up to some 5 days.
But, I guess one can always stretch it out a bit more, provided there's power and the water is running... I have a great store a 5 minute walk away and a few more 10~15 minutes away on the bike... there's no need to keep stuff around that's going to spoil. Last May, I bought 3 cans of tuna... one is still there...  (October 31, 2017 at 9:09 am)pocaracas Wrote: there's no need to keep stuff around that's going to spoil. True, but that's what non-perishables and freezers are for. You'd probably change your mind about keeping more than a few days worth of eats around if you ever got snowed in for over a week with no way to get to the nearest plowed road - four miles away - much less to the store. It ends up saving money in the long run - for example, chicken sometimes goes on sale for half to a third of the usual price, when that happens, I buy enough for a few dozen meals, repackage it in vacuum sealed bags, freeze it, and eat it over the next several months until it goes on sale again. 
Just the amount of dark chocolate i have would last me months. I have a whole lot of variety of foods especially chocolate (Dark, mint, milk, semi-sweet chocolates, etc). Different types of rice n beans (us Ricans can't live without our rice n beans
 ), pancakes, cereal.
We also buy chicken in bigger quantities than needed since we know it will stay good in the freezer and it will eventually be used.

My mother said something similar to me, leading me to spend every penny on books as an adolescent. I still would, If I didn't have a kindle and the internetz. @mlmooney.....why don't you just keep the chickens? They dont really need much more space than a freezer anyway. Besides, it's fun.  I'm not a hoarder or a back-to-the-lander...but I have alot of kids...at some point it's cheaper to keep the yardbird than to buy the yardbird. I could reduce my entire descent into food production to having found myself suddenly poor in the housing crash. That, and I like flowers, so, you know.
