If your pantry and freezer have an inch of empty space, you’re not ready. No one knows how long.
You sure your brother won’t bring along a friend or two?
It’s not just food, it’s whatever you may need as well. Either of you need to stock pet food and pet meds? Your meds, too. Do you have tp and sanitizers/cleaners? Is there a mechanical something that needs repairing like a vehicle or lawn mower or a washing machine? Keep the gas tank filled and have some extra because a quarantine may not allow gas tankers to come in. You’re gonna need a working washing machine and detergent unless you want to go down to the public laundromat or to the store just for laundry detergent (or whatever) during the middle of a neighborhood quarantine.
It’s not like anything you buy won’t be used if this turns out to be short lived. TP and soap don’t have expiration dates and that can of green beans can surly be eaten before 2022.
I took some frozen veggies out today and started dehydrating them. Gross food is gross, wet or dry. At least I have room for more red meat.
No space left in pantry, cans/beans are stack on the floor, and freezer is completely full.
Just got a years supply of heart-worm prevention.
Got Everclear, sanitize, disinfectent.
The only thing left is to pickup a prescription, propane, fill cars up and gas.
Just my brother and his wife.
