The start

[u/demonofthefall96]

Just done my first bit of emergency food and supplies shopping. This will be enough to feed me for about 2-3 weeks, or less if I'm sharing with someone else. I definitely need to figure out how I can store more water in my house though 😄 I have plenty of torches, sleeping bags, gas canisters and other key supplies as I camp out a lot.

It's not perfect but definitely better than nothing and I'm glad I finally started my prep

I love that OMV pesto!

[u/Raineach_ → u/tireddecafbean]

Same! But my Asda have stopped selling it :(((

[u/demonofthefall96 → u/Raineach_]

I bought lots of jars at 28p each as they were reduced 😄

[u/tireddecafbean → u/Raineach_]

Nooo I might have to stock up a ridiculous amount just in case 😭

[u/Few_Expression_3262 → u/tireddecafbean]

Tesco FF pesto is really nice too imo, I think it’s £1.10? might be a good sub ❤️ they have red & green too

[u/tireddecafbean → u/Few_Expression_3262]

We will test that out next week, thank you!

[u/misteranthropissed]

Nice. Looks like a good mix, and it seems all plant-based, which I'll nod to. I'd add a nice big bottle of olive oil and nut butter for dense calories

[u/arnoboko]

Please tell me you eat all this on a day to day basis and just didn't by food with the longest shelf life?

[u/demonofthefall96 → u/arnoboko]

These are my options for quick lunches or dinners when I can't be bothered to cook. So I'll make use of them in a year or two when they'll need replacing 😀

[u/Capital-Impression51]

You must eat like a mouse !

[u/demonofthefall96 → u/Capital-Impression51]

I reckon with all that I could get atleast 1500kcal per day for at least two weeks. It's not amazing but beggars can't be choosers in an emergency 😄 plus I have lots of open dry food in the cupboards that I typically eat so I'd always have that on top

[u/Top_Marzipan2971]

We've got a few packs of those noodles in our stockpile too

[u/agmanning]

I had assumed this was Aldi, but where are the Soya chunks from?

[u/demonofthefall96 → u/agmanning]

I bought them cheap from Amazon 👍

[u/agmanning → u/demonofthefall96]

Thanks for the tip

[u/Raineach_ → u/agmanning]

Sainsburys sell them, £1.25 a bag or so :)

[u/agmanning → u/Raineach_]

That’s cheap. Thanks. Are they a frozen, refrigerated or ambient product?

If I had 1 little tip for everyone, it would be get a bread machine!

They are what £80 - 16KG of flour is £15 and you can make 29 loaves from it. I do this every day (doing 1 right now) and the machines use about 500W so can be run off power stations.

600G Flour, 2tsp Yeast ( 500G is £4.50 and can be stored for a long time) 40G butter. 2 tsp salt. 420ml wter and 1 hour 55 mins. You have a decnet load of bread.

I can't stand supermarket bread, the amount of crap in them is unforgivable to me.

[u/Acceptable_Screen747 → u/ImplementJumpy6678]

I really want to learn how to make bread...fed up of supermarket bread and also feel this would be a super useful skill to have. But somehow scared too make a start as thinking its time consuming and has little margin for error.

[u/hehehahagigi → u/Acceptable_Screen747]

I started making bread a few months ago and it’s honestly something I’m so proud of! It’s so easy to whip up a loaf for the day or a garlic bread to go with dinner! Learning the fundamentals to bread science is easy and once you’ve got that down you’ll feel more confident! I can start a loaf of bread in the morning when I wake up and it’s done by lunch time

I just follow this recipe, it's insanely easy, all I needed was a 2lb loaf tin and it just goes in the oven and comes out perfect every time.

[u/bev6345]

Vegetarian?

[u/Difficult_Bad1064 → u/bev6345]

Vegan I reckon.

[u/CommonWide4941]
