Burndens Bogs Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 How long do you think your family could cope reasonably comfortably, without visiting a Supermarket? I reckon we could manage a couple of weeks tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyther_Matt Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I tend to visit 2-3 times a week to top up on fresh fruit and veg. Definitely need to be thinking of an alternative, possibly freeze red onions/peppers but obviously that's not practical with spuds or carrots etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted March 24, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 24, 2020 I reckon I can go a month, loads of pasta, rice, coffee, all the essentials. Milk and fresh fruit and veg are the only things I'd struggle for, once longlife stuff is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we could do 2 or 3 weeks - it would be milk and bread that did for us I reckon, other than that, we've got plenty in the freezer and loads of tinned stuff and pasta. Some of the meals might get a bit basic though....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rudy Posted March 24, 2020 Members Share Posted March 24, 2020 If the sprog was younger it would be different for nappies wipes but toilet training has helped that. Booze is going down a bit too quick but I’ve got mixers and rum. Going through milk bread and cereal quicker because we’re all in. Might need to do a quick dash tomorrow morning to stock for another week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably got 4 or 5 pints of fresh, then maybe 3 pints of "Low Life" 😂 milk. Booze reserves would be the first to cave in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 24, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted March 24, 2020 All fresh veg can be frozen- just blanch it first. Not as good perhaps, but might also remove the need to go to the shop as frequently. Similarly with milk. Freeze it no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwfcfan5 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 A week I suspect. I mean if we bulk bought longer. But we're not. Cos we're not dicks. Government should say - you are allowed to shop for food once per week max. I think everyone can reasonably manage weekly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
