[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what foods are you mostly buying now? I was very stocked 10 days ago but obviously a lot has been eaten. Should I try to buy more meat? Potatoes?[/quote]

Try to buy food that will last you as long as possible between trips. So fresh fruits and veg, and frozen and canned and dried. Beans, rice, stuff that will last a while. 
Think about meat etc options that you could store for 2+ weeks... eggs, cheese, beans, canned soups. It may not be gourmet.m but the fewer times you go to the store the better[/quote]

We are trying to go to the store as little as possible - 10-14 days is our current target. Mostly to pick up meats & fresh foods. Also replenish any non-perishables you have eaten. We are eating less and wasting less and generally buying less than normal though for the same time period.

Is anyone thinking that the food supply issues could get worse in a month? I'm not sure if to use our frozen/dried stash now, or to keep buying fresh and maintain that store for a time when stores shut down due to worker illness.

No. Not if people actually eat the food they already bought.

Plus, sadly, more people will be sick so less people will be out. [/quote]
