Winter storm Jonas is brewing on the East Coast and is projected to start dumping snow and freezing rain on Friday night. So you should run to the store and buy bread and milk, right? Wrong. Bread and milk expire pretty quickly and require refrigeration. They're also pretty light on the nutrients and won't keep you satiated and supplemented as you ride out the weather. The trick is to buy foods that don't won't expire quickly or need to be refrigerated. They should be easy to prepare, easy to eat, high in protein, and provide enough variety to keep you full and happy for days. Here are 13 better items for your grocery-store run.

Now thet thar would be tellin’ and how’d ah know youse ain’t one o’ dem rev a noo ers?
My first thought, too. When I was a kid, the back porch was our overflow freezer and the garage was our overflow refrigerator all winter.
Same here. Seems obvious but today people can’t even see something that obvious.
I have a camping stove that runs on Coleman fuel. The wood burning will keep at least the living room warm even if it is -30F outside. I usually start the winter with 4-5 cords of wood so I could last until the next spring.
I read somewhere that the Himalayan Sherpas carry something similar to pemmican, but made with yak butter and bone marrow.
I always cook a country ham if a hurricane is bearing down. Will keep for many days without refrigeration and there are always panicked yankees needing a little help. Ham and eggs seems to calm them down.
Had 29 inches of snow on March 13, 1992 in East Tennessee...A great many people lost power for up to two weeks...
A guy I worked with lost power for 4 days and said at work that he lost about 100 lbs of meat that was in his freezer...
I asked him why he didn’t just stick it out in the snow...
He got the strangest look on his face and just turned and walked off....*ROFL*
If you have kids, you need bread and milk. And this is a blizzard, not a nuclear attack; a few days is all you need it to last. And if power goes out, leave it in the snow.
I got caught in a snowstorm in Colorado, just north of Denver one year. Snow just got too deep to move.
There must have been 8 or 10 of us truck drivers and a couple of cars stuck on the side of the road.
On the second day some locals on snowmobiles came by offering sandwiches and water.
I told’em not to bother, I was cooking a steak for my lunch.
My truck was equipped with a generator and I had a refrigerator full of food and a microwave, hotplate and crock pot, all the beverages I needed and plenty of movies to watch.
Most of the other trucks were company trucks and didn’t have a generator.
I really felt sorry for the poor people in the cars.
I never had anything go bad. The cream would freeze at the top of the milk. Ummmmm ummmmm good!
LOL. Last time we lost power in a snow storm I put our food outside until power was restored.
BEER
And yes, what a typical left wing twit moron that is using the “crises” to peddle liberal crap.
Bread and milk, with egg, make french toast. Yummie.
And even the idea of attacking a CATCH PHRASE that is more a traditional joke than reality shows how truly sick these f-wads are.
Things that don’t need refrigeration! LOL
Don’t forget the Viena Sausages.
So many posts about refrigeration and it being cold outside.
Because no one, especially in the highly populated areas of the East Coast, lives in apartments/condos/etc without a garage or secure space outside to put food.
Buy lots of canned chili. It will give some incentive to go out and shovel snow.
Do high-rise apartment windows even open nowadays so they could hang food out in a bag?
I’m afraid you’re right.
In TX, I read that (according to Walmart, IIRC) Pop Tarts were the most popular item to have on hand amongst people readying for a hurricane.
