We always stock up on spam, canned soup, instant noodles, and dried seaweed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673668 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 16:25:22 +0000 mrsjyw 1673668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably two weeks if we had to make it last </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673660 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 16:22:11 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1673660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 2 weeks, but that's stretching it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673604 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 15:57:54 +0000 Cherrybee 1673604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Decent, lovely meals? About 10 days. We could probably go another week of boring meals (like pasta with a plain tomato sauce). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673509 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 15:14:47 +0000 sorrycharlie 1673509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A week?? Lol. I only buy for the week.. We don't have room for bulk :( sob </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673417 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 14:29:23 +0000 charmed 1673417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eating regular meals: 2-3 weeks. Without starving: probably 6-8 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673407 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 14:25:25 +0000 Smurfette 1673407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 2, maybe 3 weeks. R would go hungry cause she won't 80% of what is in the cabinets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673396 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 14:19:51 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1673396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3-4 weeks maybe? We don't keep much extra food on hand because of the lack of space.</p> <p>@mrs. tictactoe: my dad is obsessed with having tons of food. Every year he buys over half a cow and it takes them nearly a year to go through it! He has his own chickens - both egg layers and meat chicken. He cans a ton and he could easily get my family through 6+ months on what he has! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673297 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:39:02 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1673297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is kind of obsessed with having an emergency supply of food, so we could probably last a while. Maybe a month or two? We have a lot of canned stuff. Our fridge and freezer isn't totally full, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673282 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:36:02 +0000 Adira 1673282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say 2 weeks maybe... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673257 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:31:39 +0000 gingerbebe 1673257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For decent meals, we have enough meat, dried goods, and carbs to get through 2 months I'd say. We have enough frozen veg for probably 2-3 weeks. Fruit is the biggest problem - we almost always eat fresh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673184 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:15:03 +0000 Alivoo01 1673184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe a couple weeks? MIL likes to send us food in bulk that she cooks to be kept in the freezer. We have a few pantry things, but that's about it! Our menu would be limited though; and DH doesn't do well with leftovers... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673156 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:07:45 +0000 LuLu Mom 1673156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm, I could probably make 3 weeks work, although they would not be balanced. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673154 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:07:07 +0000 Bao 1673154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking more decent meals, even if they do get boring but if we were saying survival I think we could make it closer to 2.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673132 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:02:39 +0000 Cole 1673132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Decent meals maybe 1.5-2 weeks. Stay alive? We could probably make it a month. We don't keep a ton in the house and that staying alive bit would mean lots of crappy bread since we have a decent amount of flour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673130 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:02:35 +0000 Synchronicity 1673130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: Same here. We could ration and survive for a while! Probably close to 2 months. I'd likely have to give up being a vegetarian though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673127 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:02:05 +0000 snowjewelz 1673127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probablya month? DH just caught like 7 fish today so if we kept them all ourselves we can def eat that for like 2 weeks straight, but it'd get very boring... :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673125 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:01:48 +0000 prettylizy 1673125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We could easily go a few weeks, it might get pretty slim towards the end though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673119 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:01:00 +0000 IRunForFun 1673119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Survive, like, eat the bare minimum and be really hungry, but still be physically alive? I'm sure we could manage 1.5 to 2 months. </p> <p>To have actual, decent amounts to eat and be functioning? Maybe 2.5 weeks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673118 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:00:51 +0000 PurplePumps 1673118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably about a month. I try to force myself to eat some of the items in the freezer and pantry every now and then by not going to the supermarket, otherwise they just sit there forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673111 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 12:59:55 +0000 Bao 1673111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Yep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673108 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 12:59:12 +0000 Anagram 1673108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is this including refrigerator and frozen food? Hmm...maybe 1.5 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-you-survive-with-the-food-thats-in-your-house#post-1673098 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 12:58:07 +0000 Bao 1673098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We could probably live off the food we have for a good 35 days, meaning we are eating every canned or boxed food we have. Some things would be hard to eat without milk or some fresh produce though, but still doable. </p>
