How many weeks of food do you have stored?

[adidan]

There’s no need to panic. There won’t be food shortages and you won’t need to stock up.

We stock up as soon as we see things we usually get are on offer - savings add up over the year.

Daft not to if you can and have space.

That’s how they get you to spend more and eat more.

Maybe we're talking about different things. I'm talking about tinned goods, pasta, rice, cereals and so on.

I physically couldn't eat any more of those than I usually do

Its how they get greedy people to eat more.
Taking advantage of bulk buy isn't the same thing at all.

I say it's stupid to buy rice in 250g bags for £2 when you can buy 20kg for £30.
Same goes for loads, we get toilet roll 6 months worth at a time, thats the minimum amount at Costco.
Chicken 10kg at a time not silly little single portion packs.

I agree, buying in bulk doesn't make you stuff more into your face but it does save money and packaging waste in some cases.

Why not. Buy in bulk everyone can have a few.

We have a chest freezer that we keep stuff for "lazy" cooking days, or when we bulk cook items. Then of course, frozen veg, ice cream and other things like that. We probably have enough for at least a week's worth of food if not a little more - but it's not used for anything other than temporary storage (i.e. food that we will eat within 1-2 months of purchase).
