We have so much food in the freezer, fridge and pantry, and after the last floods we decided to buy a generator to keep everything cold in case we lost power (as Kilcoy did for several days I believe). We were actually a little disappointed when the power came back after only 14 hours, I wondered how long we really would have survived, I'm sure we have several weeks of food and months of water, and plenty more food walking around in the paddock if needed! We also realised that we had far to much in the pantry a few months ago and have been trying to use it up and not buy more. I have habit of stocking up on things like tomato paste and coconut cream until I realise that I have 12 tins of it! Good luck, it will be interesting to see how your experiment goes....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12874273438983052621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957074720324686869.post-52022870535611330272013-02-01T12:17:12.018+10:002013-02-01T12:17:12.018+10:00Glad to hear you "survived" and can now ...Glad to hear you "survived" and can now do an audit to see just how well you could fare. My hubby lost his job before Christmas and out of necessity im working my way through the pantry. I've taken on lots of advice from my blogging sisters, especially Rhonda and yourself. I've started shopping differently and im amazed at how far I can make my wage go. I turned my frozen bananas into banana bread the other day and the boys couldnt believe that i can make McDonald's food. LOL I make hamburgers all the time but they taste different and look different - like real food! Fiona, just started my new blog. I complained to a friend that she wasnt blogging enough, so i was told to put my money where my mouth is.

However, I don't do preserves. cheers Wendy duchess_declutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763062839151537111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957074720324686869.post-45907660717409919592013-02-01T08:20:32.570+10:002013-02-01T08:20:32.570+10:00Ooooh!

I was thinking that once we get our goats, my shopping will (hopefully) be reduced to a few kilos of basics like flour and oats each week. There will be more of course, but it might be possible to finally go at least fortnightly on the shopping. <br />Good luck with your month - should be very creative!<br />Ps. Eat those bananas! I love frozen bananas!Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10798861028989004417noreply@blogger.com
