We don't shop in Cosco - or very rarely - especially for non pantry items, And although we talk about it we never buy ER food rations - you know for long winter storms - riots - the end of the world as we know it and such.

What about you - what do you do and why?

If I went shopping for emergency supplies, they would last exactly as long as the food I had for now. I would just not go shopping next time.
I am really terrible at planning anything though!

Pretty much year round we keep a good stock of canned goods in the cabinet. Things that don't need to be refridgerated or cooked and can be eaten in one sitting, ie: cans of tuna, canned chicken, sardines, canned vegies. Just in case something happens with the electricity due to bad storms. Last fall we had a horrible ice storm that knocked out power to several of my friends houses for 4 days. They all had to throw everything in the fridge way and lived on canned goods. It was kind of funny because a few of them didn't have a hand operated can opener, only electric. So they had to go buy one! I do keep 2 hand can openers in the silverware drawer.

I have a bottle of vodka and a bottle of Jack Daniels stuck away for the stray nuclear attack, asteroid collision or other end of the world scenario.

Snort. That is funny your story about the can opener and your stored liquer - funnier - I don't drink but I might take it up in the case of nucleur attack.

Hubby was reading this over my shoulder. He says, "If the world's comin' to an end.. we're gettin' nekkid". Sorry for the accent but he's from southern Missouri. ;D

I don't stock up though I really should. I have been trying to work out a plan to where I start cooking by menus and start stocking up on sale items as often as I can.

Have a good day!!

We usually have a decent supply of canned foods (and a hand-powered can opener! :) ), but probably not enough stuff on hand to really get through any sort of devastating event. When it gets closer to winter, we will probably stock up on things like bottled water and other non-perishable foods that don't have to be cooked, just in case there are any bad winter storms like there were last year. Seattle really isn't equipped for dealing with bad weather, so if we get snow and the power goes out, we'll probably be stuck at home for a few days.
