Snowpocalypse 2015 Shopping List

[lilafowler]

What's on yours? We already have bread and milk (lol).

I'm making a list for H since he's heading to the stores after he drops E off at school.

I'm drawing a blank lol.

[lilafowler]

Haaaa

[lilafowler]

I have like, hummus and cold cuts (44! Woooo!) on my list so far. Those are not essential. Heh.

I literally have no food in my house.

My plan is to rely on take out so I don't have to deal with the grocery store. Glad I can walk everywhere.

ETA: but most importantly I do have alcohol at home, but the liquor store is also in walking distance

[lilafowler]

Just remembered tampons. That had the potential for disaster.

Soup

I grocery shop once a week so I tend to not run out before a snowpocalypse unless it's supposed to happen on the day I'm supposed to shop. Then I might go early. But in Ohio, I don't think it's particularly likely that I'll be snowed in for more than a week.

I sent my H snowpocypse grocery shopping last night. He came back with milk, frosted Gronk flakes and so many microwave dinners I couldn't fit them all in my freezer. He had no response when I pointed out that we were more than likely going to lose power so microwave dinners would do us no good other than to say that's what the cereal is for.

Hold me.

Liquor

Jake bought tons of food last night. We always have canned beans, at the very worst.

My job today is laundry, and buying toilet paper, paper towels, and the stuff I need for the memorial Saturday. But I stayed up late reading and I'm tired and can't get off my butt even though Wild Kratts is on.

Yes. I ❤️cooking with gas.

[ninjabridemom]

Oh and even though the boys are mostly potty trained we have tons of diapers just in case we have water issues.

Jake started looking at camping stoves yesterday and I was like "dude we have lighters and gas, I think we're good."

We have random canned things like green beans, chickpeas, chicken, tuna and beets. We have pasta. We won't starve, but I'm getting caught up in the hype.

I am having him pick up batteries and a few more flashlights.

[Muddled]

H went shopping yesterday. I hope he got some things we can actually eat.

[underwaterrhymes]

LOL. iamgrace and I would have a blast being holed up during a blizzard together.

We might be hungry, but it would be fun.

Ha! this is on my list because like every snow storm we've had this winter AF rears her ugly head.

More packing tape, more bubble wrap, and wine. This probably doesn't help you.

Paper plates and plastic utensils in case we lose power because that means we lose power and I can't wash dishes.

[cookie510]

I went yesterday and got tortilla chips, salsa & queso, ingredients to make soup and ingredients to make cookies. I'm not even entertaining the possibility of losing power, I will lose my mind.

[CloudBee]

I got some extra produce, and an extra loaf of bread. I expect we'll all be at home eating lunch together for an extra day or two this week. We normally have a very full chest freezer, pantry, and fridge.

I did this a few years ago. Best decision. Now we always have one unopened pack of plates and bowls in with our bulk pantry items. I already have disposable cups and utensils in a bin where we keep party supplies. The last time we lost power for days on end, our sink and dishwasher were full of dirty dishes, and we had no disposable tableware.

[janegold]

Chips and guacamole. Lol that's about all I bought yesterday. And peanut butter.

I always try and keep paper plates and napkins around just for when I'm feeling lazy, lol.

All of our dishes are washed-but I'm making some homemade cheese-itz later so I'll have to wash the mixing bowl and cookie sheet-but other than that we are dirty dish free!

We have almost all the laundry done, so that's good. Two shovels, a straw broom and ice melt (safe for children and pets).
