How long could you last ?

Probably a week or two but I’d run out of milk, bread and fresh fruit and veg in days.

Probably a few weeks, but we'd be eating an awful lot of stewed apple. The cats wouldn't be too thrilled with their diet!

If we lived off of tin food probably a month but I always seem to be running out of milk and fresh veg so not very long.

Probably 3 or 4 weeks (two of us) but I'd really miss fresh fruit and veg. I always keep some milk in the freezer

Probably months - other than needing milk and the odd loaf.
DH died last year and I’m still working my way through the freezer! The tin cupboard is going down nicely though.

Probably a few months apart from fresh stuff, bread etc. We have a lot of tins and pasta.

I could probably last three or four months on the fat I’ve already stored (sigh)

At least a month I think. I've got some tinned food, and a full freezer. And I always keep a few cartons of long life milk.
Bread and fresh veg would be the main problem.

I think we could manage about a month.

We would run out of milk and bread within a week. The long life milk, part baked rolls and cream crackers would see us through week two.

After that it would be the stewed apples, runner beans and tomato sauce from the freezer. We do have lots of tea bags and toilet rolls.

So sorry for your loss.
My mum was in the same position and she never did get to the bottom of the freezer an 8-year-old Turkey right at the bottom.
In our house for about a fortnight. I have two small freezers and one has just packed in so I have been using up all the food odd combos of meat, fish We have a bread maker so if I'm well stocked with the right flour and yeast we would be alright for bread.

Last years and this years soft fruits would keep us going for some time!
Otherwise about three weeks but without milk, fresh fruit or vegetables. I'd have to be inventive with recipes.

Only a couple of days. Luckily, the cats would be OK for quite a while.

😱😬

(I think that’s what you meant🙂?)

Probably a year ! If I made do with black tea !

I don't store much but I've got loads of flour for making bread (bannock, scones, biscuits) and a sack of rice. Porridge oats could make oat milk and the tins of green lentils and chickpeas would do lots of curries - oh, and some veg in the garden. Cooking could be a major problem with no power supply, though! I'd have a problem with pet food (vegan goes hunting/trapping?) and could I manage at all without all the tea and coffee?

We could manage for about 2 weeks but we would need milk, unless we froze some of that as well.

I’d be OK for two weeks but would need milk and bread after that. Not sure how long my stock of gf flour would last but frozen veg should see me through for a month.

About 2/3 weeks, if we eat sparingly.

Not very long - we’ve only got the freezer bit of a fridge freezer, and no cubic miles of cupboard space. I do usually keep some bread and long life milk - or frozen excess milk - but neither would last more than about a week.

During the first lockdown, though, I did quite enjoy being inventive with what was lurking at the back of cupboards, inc. some very out of date e.g. split peas and GF flour.

At least the whole of winter as I have plenty of dried foods. Having lived in the middle of no -where and even at age 25, I did well on the food we had when winters were bad

2010 suddenly we were snowed in, living in a valley, for six whole weeks. Did not want for anything, except chocolate and things to do in the house. Remedied that for here. I will not be going out anyway, when conditions underfoot are dangerous

I have had plenty of winters of experience and am always ready for the worst case. I can make my own plant milk, soya, almond or tiger nut

The danger for us is power cuts defrosting the fridge and freezer compartment. If that happened it would cut the time back a lot. I don’t have many tins but I have a fair bit of rice. Must get more coffee , I need that in the morning, not that I am addicted to it of course 😃

10 days, I know this as if I cannot sleep I try to think of how many meals I could make only using ingredients that I have. 10 is the most that I get to.

It would be an interesting challenge and apart from milk I am tempted to give it a go. It would cover the expense of Christmas!
When we were young parents I had a more or less fixed budget for my weekly Sainsburys shop but used to try to buy a little extra each week for 4 weeks and then miss out on the fifth.
That “freed up” the weekly budget for one-off purchases.
A simple “jam jar” form of saving but effective!
Can’t remember why I stopped though. After what Jeremy Hunt has in store for us today I think every little will have to help.

In the old days when we were first married( mid to late 60s) we never ate out, got takeaway (did they even have that back then apart from fish and chips?) and we had a lot of potatoes and pasta . We didn’t actually have a fridge or washing machine either so we wouldn’t have lasted long at all. The potatoes then were pretty vile, often greenish and rotten inside. We never, ever, get nasty potatoes now, they must do something to prevent it.
