If there was suddenly a lockdown announced wirh immediate effect...

... and none of your expected guests would be coming but you also weren't able to travel to anywhere you were expecting to go:

How long would the people currently in your house be able to survive with the supplies you currently have in the house?

I reckon we have enough cheese to last a fair while at least!

I've managed to order two Christmas veg boxes so I have ALL the parsnips, red cabbage, sprouts and broccoli. Not sure exactly how long I'd survive but my cause of death would definitely be flatulence. And then years from now some distant relative would appear on Who Do You Think You Are and would have to summon up an appropriate facial expression when told that their ancestor died of farts.

@PokerFriedDips , report your original post and ask mnhq to amend your title to zombie apocalypse that will shut up and further fun sponges

A months worth of dog and cat food plus pet treats. 2-3 months for humans in our house. I buy toilet roll in packs of 32 and always have a spare pack plus one on the go. I've got 3 freezers full of meat and fruit and vegetables from the garden plus have lots of Xmas food and snacks in too. I've got bread in the freezer and lots of strong flour dried yeast and a bread maker so i could make bread. We'd miss milk but I do have 8 cartons of long life plus 12 fresh pints of milk and cream and Elm Lea too.

I'd go about my business. I will never lockdown again

I've now tracked down onions so good for a couple of weeks.

Can it start after 7-8pm, that's when Ocado is coming.

We are going out for Christmas main meal (curry) but have plenty of breakfast/brunch and snack type things coming to last us a fair while.

We already have a ton of alcohol in so we could at least be merry during an imposed lockdown.

I don't think it's a serious thread about covid lockdowns. It's a bit of fun (and yes, lockdowns and covid aren't funny, etc.) as to how much food you have in the house after Christmas deliveries.
Let's face it, if it was a real lockdown like in Covid times we could all get fresh food fine anyway, so it's not really about what it was like during previous lockdowns.

Really good question! I am a bit of a weirdo and always have to have the presses and freezer stuffed (childhood poverty) so I reckon maybe 3 months eating well.

Adult DD left home in a huff over the weekend so our food will last a lot longer 😂 Taking into account all the random tins of soup etc, easily 6 weeks.

Mind you, she’ll probably be back by the end of the week and my answer will definitely change…

One of my kids has restricted eating, so we are ok for a week or two. Once the pizza, cornflakes and potato waffles run out, I am pretty sure we are in a Lord of the flies scenario.

About a week, but the last few days would probably be a bit boring and carby. We're just off a high street with at least half a dozen food shops/supermarkets, so I don't tend to keep all that much in, and DH plus adult/teen dc empty the fridge as fast as I can fill it.

Literal days

I reckon I could survive on my christmas cake for a month.

I have 20 aubergines too so maybe I could survive on baba ganoush for a few weeks.

Preferably until next Christmas 😬😬

Just the idea of only having enough wine for a week is stressing me out! We've got months of booze in the house, although that would probably slightly less in lockdown.

Oh god. We would be physically full but nutritionally poor once the sprout mountain has gone.

Mind you, we could probably do a month on BBQ Pringles and a pyramid of Toblerone..

I look forward to morons bulk buying bog roll and flour and apropos of the latter, then going on social media and asking how to bake bread.

Not if Zombies were roaming the streets?
Or there had been a toxic gas leak, or a nuclear plume blowing over from an exploded power station?
Of Ebola / Bubonic plague?

At least a month.

But it might be getting a bit boring by the end.

Probably a week if eeking things out.

Rationed strictly, probably 2 weeks and then it would be just spiced rice (that I have for a month I guess😂).
Eating normally, week.
We moved and have small kitchen temporarily and lack of garden space, before we could survive month easily... I like well stocked kitchens.

I could potentially trap some birds. The pigeons here look nice and chubby and healthy

4 days maybe 😅

After the way ive been spoken to on here just for being a social housing tenant the "all in this together" rhetoric would cut no ice with me
It didnt the first time for the same reasons
There is definately a whiff of "protecting our betters" re protecting the laptop class a lot of which seem to look down on me for renting SH
