[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Indian-American household. We have so much rice, beans, lentils, various kinds of flour, various kinds of cooking oils, spices, salt, sugar, canned and frozen goods as a matter of routine that we can probably survive for months.

We are also cook-from-scratch kind of people - so that helps.

Previously-poor American from the deep south here. Me too except for the "various kinds of flour" ...so curious about that.. plan to google later.[/quote]

Yup. My parents bring a truckload of canned goods and laundry soap everytime they visit. I haven't stocked up and I have 10lbs rice, 10lbs dried legumes, 10lbs pasta, gallon of cooking oil, so much canned tomatoes, fruit, vegetables-for one adult and one kid.[/quote]

previously poor person here. I can't help but food hoard. I also can't help but hoard socks, undies, and basic home needs. I'm a little embarrassed to say this but I have, easily, 6-months of tp, tissue, soap, shampoo, conditioner, tampons, pads, razors ect...I even have stored tamaflu, rx cough meds, eye and ear drops, adult OTC meds...so much stuff. I can't stop myself.

For this possible pandemic, I need OTC liquid advil and tylanol. That's it. Because of the season, stores are low on that stuff.

This is super crazy: I just planted frost-safe veggies. !!! I know it's crazy but as an affluent DCUM-er, I can't stop myself. That said, I don't have a gun.
