Everything else would probably last a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive/page/2#post-1417924 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 12:56:28 +0000 lovehoneybee 1417924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At least a month, maybe 6 weeks. I buy pasta and dried beans in bulk (assuming I had access to clean water). Wouldn't be eating like kings or anything, but if it was a matter of survival we could stretch it for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive/page/2#post-1417905 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 12:49:22 +0000 psw27 1417905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not very long... we don't have much in our pantry. Maybe there are some boxes of pasta we could make stretch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive/page/2#post-1417897 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 12:47:02 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1417897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple weeks max! I just went to the store and have enough produce to get us to the weekend but I don't keep much in the pantry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive/page/2#post-1417881 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 12:42:49 +0000 Anagram 1417881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 days </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417844 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 12:29:09 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1417844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not long - we usually go to the store every other day!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417823 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 12:20:39 +0000 Andrea 1417823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not that long. I don't like to buy a lot of frozen food/prepared foods so our fresh stuff would run out pretty quick. I suppose we could cook pastas to last a few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417818 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 12:16:37 +0000 cheert16 1417818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417735 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 11:49:44 +0000 coopsmama 1417735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 2-3 months. We can our own beans and have a supply left, bought half a beef (and there's just two of us!), buy our grain in bulk, etc. It wouldn't be the tastiest meals but it would get us through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417729 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 11:48:33 +0000 teamjse 1417729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 3 to 4 days for items in the fridge and maybe 2 additional days for items in the pantry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417644 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 11:26:47 +0000 LBee 1417644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we ate everything (and I mean everything) ... probably 3 weeks. A month if we went survivor style. We have an embarrassing amount of soups / pasta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417626 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 11:23:24 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1417626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A week .... maaaaaaybe two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417623 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 11:22:49 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1417623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not long. We don't have a ton of food stocked up. Our "pantry" is just an upper cabinet and it has all of our spices and baking ingredients in it, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417620 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 11:22:00 +0000 illumina 1417620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd guess a week-10 days tops. I've got a grocery order coming tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417615 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 11:20:40 +0000 prettylizy 1417615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say probably 2 weeks if we stretched every meal. We'd be out of fresh produce in a week though and on to freezer stuff, then it would be the dregs of the pantry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417553 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 11:08:29 +0000 fairy 1417553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Guessing 2-3wks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417490 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:53:37 +0000 jetsa 1417490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No deep freeze and a small freezer on the fridge so a week tops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417480 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:51:38 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1417480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would run out of protein in around 2 weeks but we could easily not starve for 3-4 weeks (pasta, cans, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417471 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:50:07 +0000 AmandaB8 1417471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A least a month.

I keep a lot of staples around. cans of beans, etc. lots of stuff in the freezer. I don't understand how people run out of food in a week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417436 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:43:50 +0000 Mommy Finger 1417436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Based on what I have in the deep freezer, a good amount of time. I really need to do an inventory of what we have in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417415 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:35:05 +0000 littlebug 1417415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mmm...probably 2-3 weeks. I shop week-to-week, but have a fair amount of "stuff," like random half-boxes of noodles, frozen veggies, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417413 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:34:39 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1417413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not long! We shop only weekly. My dad has a nice stash of food and he could have his family last months, if need be! </p> <p>My amber 2-3 weeks if we really stretch it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417404 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:32:44 +0000 LovelyPlum 1417404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple of weeks, probably. We don't have a lot of stuff, but I have oatmeal, rice, dried beans, tofu, some frozen meat, and a few bags of frozen veggies. We would run out of fresh fruits and vegetables pretty quickly, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417384 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:27:10 +0000 mrsjyw 1417384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>probablyl at least a month </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417379 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:25:49 +0000 BananaPancakes 1417379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, forever if we're talking about survival. We have so much frozen meat. Like months and months, probably. Actual meals, though wouldn't be more than about a week. We don't keep much in the house and I do regular "eat everything in the pantry" weeks so that I'm not just collecting food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417336 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:16:17 +0000 MrsH 1417336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple of weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417333 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:14:16 +0000 MamaMoose 1417333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, maybe a week? We eat mostly fresh foods so we have to shop every week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-could-your-family-survive#post-1417332 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:14:14 +0000 nana87 1417332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh my gosh, barely anytime! we mostly eat perishable foods (veggies, fruit, meat for dh, dairy) so those wouldn't last more than a couple days, maaaybe a week, and we don't have much cabinet space. I'd say like a week and a half tops, but that'd be like eating oatmeal and plain pasta for most of the time! </p>
