Beginner here - does this sound like a reasonable stockpile?

[mmmgoats]

I've always liked to have a fair bit extra in, but thanks to MN I decided to get really organised and ensure I'm covered for (hopefully) every eventuality. It's actually really helped my anxiety as I feel a bit more in control.

Just wondered if anyone could take a look and see if this sounds reasonable prep wise, basically just got extra of what we normally eat in (for three of us) - feel like I'm missing obvious things!

Now I've written it all down, I probably sound a bit OTT? But the snow last year really made me see I needed more in, especially if we get hit with a power cut around the same time [I know I can't 100% rely on my freezer stores but I like to have it stocked incase we get ill/can't get out for a few days or i'm too lazy to think about what to eat!]
Do you think I've missed anything obvious?

@Ariclock - I'm not the op but I would heartily endorse the "little and when you can afford it" approach.
Focus on what you actually enjoy eating.

Ariclock As bellinisurge little and when you can.

If every time you pop to a shop for lunch/ bottle of water/bread, if you can afford it, pick up one thing to go in the stock pile, like a tin, packet of cheap paracetamol/Ibuprofen, pasta. it's amazing how much adds up, especially as sometimes we don't realise how often we 'just nip to the shops'

Also not the OP but mine has been going for some time now. I have slowly been adding a few items a week (or even just one a week during lean times) for a while.

That said my friend only started prepping at the start of the year (because her job isn’t stable thanks to Brexit) and has a hearty stock after dedicating £20-25 per month.

Great advice, thanks all

You see "yammering on" is rude. There was no yammering. Have a laugh, have a dig, tell me I'm a liar whatever but own it.

There is a connection. I have no wish to stockpile items of food specifically for my family how horrible. We are all human.

@petrolpump28 - not really interested in your situation if you are on here to have a go at everyone and, frankly, embellish half stories.

The thing is Petrol, if you stockpile food for your own family in case of national crisis, it means you're not reliant on government/army support services, and support for those in actual need is not spread around so thinly. By being self reliant in such situations (to the degree that you can afford to and are physically able) you are helping others more.

@petrolpump28 -please, by all means, go onto the AMA I started a while ago about being a prepper. Coming on here carping on with your misunderstanding is not much use to you or anyone.

What @KimCheesePickle said

I'm not really into stockpiling but having looked at the list the thing that stands out most is how little water you have. Forget the power, if the water went out in an and extreme, end of the world type scenario, 10 litres won't get you far.

But at least you have pesto and avocado

Joking aside however, I am now intrigued by having a small back up.

You see "yammering on" is rude. There was no yammering. Have a laugh, have a dig, tell me I'm a liar whatever but own it.

But you are “yammering on”, you’re bleating utter nonsense that makes no sense.

I have no wish to stockpile items of food specifically for my family how horrible. We are all human.
Can I come over to your house for supper one evening when I haven’t made it to the supermarket? I’ll bring my 6 DC with me.

By stockpiling now, no one else is being deprived of the opportunity to buy food or goods. It’s only immoral IMO if an individual grabs more than they need of a finite resource, preventing others from having access. Which isn’t the case for preppers.
As Kim pointed out, your family will be able to access support more easily if all of us are not in the same mob, clambering for the same limited resources. You can rely on your family being carried by others, but some of us prefer a more proactive and independent attitude.

@RedStef1983 - the op has Life Straws. Which means they can collect water from wherever and use them as a filter to drink.

Yes come welcome.

Only immoral if an individual grabs..... Omg I seriously cannot believe this nonsense.

Do you have weapons and the confederate flag

@petrolpump28 - is it helpful to you to get into a sniping session with people who don't live their lives the way you do.
If you don't like dogs, perhaps you could get into an argument with someone in The Doghouse topic. If you don't like fashion etc you could have a big barney with someone on Style and Beauty.
Or just have some fun on AIBU?
What are you trying to achieve?

And no we don't have weapons and a confederate flag. Grow the fuck up.

“Bleating” = inane chatter. I’d say that’s pretty accurate. “Fucking nasty woman” is delightful misogyny.

Sorry to the OP re your thread being derailed by such nonsense.

--------->""

yeaaaaahhh bleating and yammering

"Nasty woman" is a criticism worn as a badge of pride by Samantha Bee. In good company if you are one.

Oh well done, you’ve shown yourself as the nasty piece of work you are petrol pump please find somewhere else to post your drivel. I’ve reported your posts which are entirely useless and offensive.
