How many days of food in your house

Dying to live, living to die.
Indefinitely.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
I buy enough food for myself to last a week. It's a half hour drive to the nearest decent grocery store.
Several weeks or more. Longer if you include the inventory of longpig.
I live alone, and I typically only have a week's worth of food in the house. Maybe two. This means I kind of have trouble when my mother and I are together, and she's like "get a buggy full", and I'm not even sure how to fill a whole buggy.

We plan out our meals 2 weeks in advance because I get paid every two weeks. We then find out what we need for those meals and buy everything we need. The meals with stuff that goes bad gets made first over the next two weeks. I have found myself going for a quick trip to get more fruit or salads now that I'm on a stricter diet and can't inhale noodles 24/7.

My freezer has ice and 2 fruit pops in it.
My fridge could hold us over for maybe 3 days? Cupboards and counters, probably another 3 days, maybe as long as a week if we rationed. I've got one small bag of rice (I do mean small), one small package of pasta, a few potatoes and some condiments. A few apples, bananas, tomatoes, etc. I tend to shop for what we need for that day or within a day or 2 ahead at most. I used to have maybe 2 weeks worth of canned and packaged food back in the US, but it's too hard to carry home impulse buys on my back (and canned food is heavy!), so here we are living much more frugally. There are 2 stores in walking distance, and a number of bakeries, and a nice green grocer I walk by every day. I just pick up what we need as we need it. Hopefully there is no zombiepocolypse anytime soon, we'd be screwed! lol.

At least a month, but last week is going to be pretty grim. Lotsa a Jello to brighten up the dregs, I suppose.
If desperate could eat the cat's ear medicine and the jar of capers in the back of the fridge. Have on hand a great deal of Costco cherry and peach jelly (it's only available for a limited time every year), but with my blood sugar issue, I'd probably want to really stretch out that stuff lest my pancreas explode. I'd really have to be desperate, but I have 5000 bushels of soybeans in a bin. I eat a few during harvest (raw) but I suspect if I was eating them for sustenance they would need to be boiled. I suppose I could do that indefinitely, but I suspect they are not nutritionally balanced so there would be an issue with that. If I wanted meat and wasn't squeamish, it is ridiculously easy to trap raccoons with a live trap baited with cat food. I've had raccoon once, not my favorite mystery meat, but in life or death situation, there you are. I have a watering tank for the deer, (not doing anything nefarious, if they have water on this side of the county gravel fewer get run over here headed for the creek) and it wouldn't be too difficult to snag a deer for food. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
Two weeks worth in the tornado shelter. The perishable stuff (anything that lasts less than six months) gets rotated out monthly.
Upstairs, we could skip shopping for two months at any time. This is because I do the shopping. And I have the strokes. |
