If you could not leave your house, even to get to the garden, how would the food you have last?

[faithfultoGeorgeMichael]

Prompted by watching a film where this happened.
We'd only last 3-5 days as we don't keep much in, at all, how about you?

A few weeks

A month easily?
I have a large freezer plus a chest freezer in the garage and a pantry
I cook from scratch, bake own bread and cakes, have plenty of flour
Cupboards are well stocked

Have hens but not sure if you are allowing me to collect the eggs 😂

Me on my own? Probably a month or more. All four of us? A couple of weeks probably. With a lot of moaning.

A few days, we're not very stocked up

2 days

Ages. We have lots of freezer space and food storage for things like canned and dried pulses etc.

after about 4 days my meals would no longer be balanced although I could probably survive for about 2 weeks. I would end up living on rice, pulses, tinned mackerel and biscuits.

Right now, about three days. We’ve only just had our kitchen done so we’ve been eating out and had minimal food in the house.

In normal times, we usually have enough to last a month if we rationed it quite strictly and focused on surviving rather than making logical meals.

For the 5 of us, about 4-5 days. We don’t have enough space to keep weeks worth of food in for 5 people.
However my youngest has ARFID and I could probably only feed him for 3 days on his ‘safe’ foods. Once they ran out he’d just starve!

About a month, but it wouldn’t be pretty.

Depends about how fussy we were being - I’ve have pretty good stores of rice, pasta, beans etc some frozen veg so I / we could survive probably for a good couple of weeks. Probably have died of boredom but you can survive on weetabix and water if you need!

Probably a month and then it would be risotto rice and frozen peas. I'm running my stores down as I hope to move.

A fortnight maybe just over. But I do think I need to do a bigger shop on occasion. Stock up on the usual food items for the long haul, Covid 19 was awful for shopping.

If you didn’t get there early enough, all the fresh vegetables were gone. Fruit was a bit better supplied.

Probably a month or
ao but with some very odd dishes.

2 of us, about 2 weeks, it would get very random though. Rammed full freezer of stuff that doesn’t really make meals and lots of tinned pulses.

have in laws staying at moment who don’t like fish or pulses…they’d starve.

This.

I've just seen a trailer for the film, was it any good?

Bread - ten weeks. Just had 16kg flour delivered.

everything else - about 10 days.

A few weeks. I have a few zombie apocalypse boxes scattered around the house.

We have lots of mainly meat in the freezers so we could live for months I would think, but we would be very short of vegetables after a few days. Also have lots of flour and yeast and other baking things and pasta and rice.

I’d like to think we could do a month (as long as the water supply was ok and we could cook) but Covid taught me that what looks like a lot of food actually doesn’t feed 6 people for very long at all!

Film was pretty dire in my opinion. But one of those ones you can’t stop watching just to see if they die or not!!

i think we’d have about a week!

A week for me and 10 days for the dogs because my freezer is not massive

Totally agree about the film.

They wouldn’t have lived that long either.

Us, probably a few weeks but the lack of medication will have finished one of us before then.

At least a month, it wouldn’t be very nutritious by the end but definitely enough to survive on!

If we literally couldn't leave the house at all, not very long. A couple of weeks maybe but fairly miserably. If we are allowed out of the door we could probably survive for a year! We store a LOT of meat in the chest freezer in the shed and have a grain store full of wheat we could grind for flour.
