Show me your brexit stockpiles cont...

[SparklySneakers]

A thread for sharing details of our stashes: what we have, what we need, good hiding places and all sorts of hints and tips to help prepare for shortages in the event of a no deal brexit.

I am raiding the stash to make way for stocking up later. no point keeping stuff that will be out of date five minutes into november..

anyway, I have just aged about 20 years in ten minutes listening to England tie the world cup twice, and win on the number of boundaries scored in the game. if someone wrote it as fiction they would be told it was totally unrealistic.

We're going through our stash. I'll re-stock Sept / Oct pay days if I think it's necessary. I'm going to see how it all pans out first.

We keep really well stocked cupboards / freezer anyway, so the stockpile is just an added bonus of necessities.

My allotment is coming good on veg, so I should have a freezer which is well-stocked with that if nothing else.

bellinisurge and BlackeyedGruesome thanks for your replies on previous page. Buying treats for stockpiling (wine and chocolate in our case) is going to require at lot of willpower! I haven't even thought about breakfast things, so that was a handy tip as well.

bellini has made a good post several times about what to include. worth searching for them.

My stash is definitely smaller. No idea why. whistles innocently

What to include is very personal to each person though. But the general advice is shelf stable versions of stuff you like to eat / drink.

Breakfast
Lunch
Tea
Snacks
Treats
Drinks and water for cooking. (Waterboard leaks, digger going through main etc)
Laundry
Bathing deodorant
Medication/first aid
Household such as bin bags, lightbulbs
Cooking, tinfoil,baking parchment etc
Baking
Flavouring such as herbs, spices ketchup etc.
Batteries, chargers, torches etc for power cuts ( general thing though the last power cut was years ago)
Personal grooming: hair dye makeup?
Teeth.
Sanpro
Gardening seeds/compost
Motor supplies. Oil etc
Celebrations and birthdays. Cards presents candles food?
Craft stuff for children etc
Education supplies. (Fifty billion set squares for dd) especially if going to secondary.
Hobby supplies
Cycling stuff? Paniers?
Camping/ barbeque stuff ( the yearly reports of turkeys getting cooked on barbeques)
Stationery /printer cartridges
Entertainment that does not rely on electricity
Winter stuff? Grit for paths? wellies?
Pet food/ meds/supplies
Children's clothing/trainers/ pe kit in next size.

And cleaning stuff...
Washing up/dishwasher

I bulk buy loads of stuff anyway, so tend to have good stocks of all sorts!

That's a great list @BlackeyedGruesome

Several items are nicked from your lists Bellini. And hanging around on threads for so long.

That list reveals me to be a semi-prepper without even trying!

Not everyone will have the space, however.

Ooh I’d completely forgotten about breakfast stuff. What kind of things have people stashed for it? Cereals?

What do you normally eat for breakfast, Bella?

There's no point stockpiling stuff you don't / won't eat.

I get Weetabix (well, the supermarket version) and porridge oats. The kids have toast so I have bread flour and yeast.

Dd eats cereal dried fruits, seeds and soya milk. Easy to store.

I eat either toast or cereal. Got dried milk and cereals.

Ds eats cereal. He may eat dried milk if not he will eat last night's tea, so is flexible.

I may be extra nice and get him a box of Cocopops

My current stockpile of breakfast cereal includes coco pops, white chocolate coco pops and chocolate mini weetabix.

BlackeyedGruesome, that's an impressive list and gives me lots to think about. Luckily I'm on top of the medication/first aid as that ws the first thing I thought about. Spacewise, I think I'll try and a whole bottle of everything (rather than buying just before we run out).

Breakfast here, will be cereals. We don't mind uht milk, which is always useful to have in anyway. DD likes almond milk, which I buy on offer.

Just had a thought, DD makes homemade wine (much better than it was years ago), I need to buy some extra packs don't I?!!

Typo, DH not DD!

Space wise... People used the back of the sofa, under beds, top/bottom of wardrobe,under kitchen units, behind books on the bookshelf, under the stairs, and in the loft in gaps between furniture, under the dining room table, in the shed.

Things like laundry detergent and cleaning stuff. can go in sheds or garages.

I have quite the stash of cat litter too! Precious miss will only poo on the litter tray, or failing that, a shoe. Never outside
So this is import for me,

Annoying that we can't edit on this forum lol.

Yep, cat litter and pet stuff generally needs to be considered.
There is a corner of my stash that is my overlord's preferred food. I've been dipping into it instead of buying recently . I need to build it back up.

Anyone know if household cleaning goods would be okay in a shed if it's say -4c overnight. Don't laugh, I did wonder about keeping some pepper, herbs, stir fry sachets in a spare handbag!

All my spare cleaning stuff is "in the garage". It gets pretty cold here in winter so it has to take its chances.
As for using a spare handgun for spices etc? Why not? Stick it on top of a wardrobe or wherever but try not to forget its there
