[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve stocked up - [b]fortunately I can afford to do it[/b]. I’ve bought things like 10 lbs rice, big container oatmeal, dried lentils, tuna, PB and pancake mix. If this hopefully all blows over, I’ll donate the stash to a food bank. [/quote]

Seriously, what did this cost?

Not PP, but I'd guess that I spent ~$500 in groceries and various supplies. All things we typically use so it won't go to waste. We were out of a few things (advil, etc.) so it was good to stock up anyway.

We have been horribly unprepared for other emergencies in the past so we feel more comfortable having something on hand in general.

NP and I spent about the same tonight on stuff we will use. We were terribly unprepared when we were first married and lost power for days after a hurricane. This is different but now we have kids and I stocked up on things others have posted. Mostly I was worried about running out of toilet paper and bought a lot. We have a big house and plenty of storage. I also stocked up on cold meds, general toiletries like soap, toothpaste, shampoo, feminine supplies and some non perishable food.  It will all be used eventually. [/quote]
