After 3 days without food society will collapse. There's no point having that much stuff unless you plan to go out into the sticks and ride out whatever is happening in isolation.

Anyone in a city would end up dead. Personally I will be looting all the elderly folk who have stocked up all that nice milk and bread for me.

Thought went through my head - posting here just how much you've got = target for when the masses get desperate.
 
Probably have 13 days of meat
2 days worth of ready stuff i.e. fish cakes
Plenty of pasta and rice

Only issue is have is fresh fruit and veg.

Bread I could make myself have plenty of flour, just need time.

Baby could probably last 1 month before I need to restock at the moment. Thank God for amazon
 
If the SHTF then I could easily survive a year or two with what's in the house at the moment. As for the current weather situation, I'm English so a bit of snow and cold weather ain't bothering me.
 
Filled my freezer today and bought a lot of tinned stuff. Will need to go back out in a few days for perishables like milk and bread etc., but that's no biggy.
 
Freezer in the house, big freezer in the shed, both full. Loads of pasta, flour, some tins etc etc. We could go a month I should think, but would certainly miss fresh veg and fruit.
I also have guns, bow and arrows, and swords for when the zombies masses get desperate.

Normal, healthy people can go longer than that with no food, tbf.

Got to consider not just getting past any initial period of inaccessibility/shortage and the time to for stuff to start moving again.

Can't see us being shutdown for that long as the weather has been of late but never know - most people were dismissive this weather, as relatively not really that severe as it is, would even happen at all.
 
No, I don't panic and buy the shop just because there might be a week long worth of snow. Wish the nation would get a grip.

We city folk may lack survival skills, but we're also morally bankrupt so if I happen to be at work when the apocalypse starts i'm not even going to wait for the shops to run out of food. I'm going straight to the square mile to barbecue myself an investment banker.
 
Dunno really, and not something I even need to think about given there's a Tesco Express on the ground floor of my building. I'm not going to starve any time soon.
 
Looking at the state of the shelves in the supermarket I'm starting to wonder if I should have stocked up.

We've got enough, usually have stuff in the fridge / freezer in the garage but the freezer isn't working as the garage is too cold for the fridge to come on. No fridge means the freezer section doesn't stay cold, some genius design there to save a few pence on a second thermostat.
 
I've got a 100L chest freezer that's pretty much full, so I've probably got enough for about a month... ~2kg mince, 10 portions of bolognese (I make in batches, then freeze in portions), ~7KG chicken breast, along with other bits & pieces.

In general I buy things in large quantities when they're on offer (as long as it's things I would normally buy), so I end up with large stocks!
 
Live in a flat, very rarely have more than a few days worth of food in. Most days I buy food for my evening meal on the way home from work. At a push I reckon I could last a week but it would be eating copious amounts of dried pasta, rice, porridge.
 
Probably a week although within 5-10 minutes walk there is a drive thru McDonalds, large Tesco, One Stop, Bargain Booze, 2 Chinese takeaways, 2 Indian takeaways, a really good butchers shop, fish n chip shop and a kebab shop.

I think I'm covered.
