Why are all you California people going straight to trader joes for canned goods and rice? Dont you have stores like Kroger or Food Lion or whatever non bougie store that applies to your region?

naem posted:yes lol, I also have my earthquake overnight bag for if my apt building collapses without killing me if anyone wants to see that I live in area prone to earthquakes and have a reasonable survival kit, was a girl scout back in the day so fairly confident in roughing it a bit. Got a hugely stocked freezer, able to fish for food if it ever came to it, and a vegetable garden. Only things i'm stocking up on are tampons and toilet paper. Just the cheapy toilet paper as my arse isn't precious snowflake. Really can't think of anything else i'd need. Oh - live way out in the boonies too and dislike people so I think i'm quite safe if I get put off work. I think work is gonna get crazy for a bit though because I work in a healthcare setting but administration rather than front lines thankfully. quick edit: went to buy a 5kg bag of flour in the weekend because I make bread a bunch, all sold out! This is in New Zealand we have one confirmed case. I just hope everyone decided to make bread at once.

Just the cheapy toilet paper as my arse isn't precious snowflake. In the U.S., if there's a snow-storm or hurricane or some other event with significant advance notice where people are stocking up but aren't fleeing, you'll inevitably see bread shelves empty out. People will walk right past a shelf full of flour so they can lament over which of the last loafs of onion buns they're going to make PB&J sandwiches on, but they'll be damned before they actually make bread. It baffles me every single time.

Even if people wanted to experiment with baking bread for the first time, stores have a lot less yeast than they have flour

Trader Joe's isn't expensive, it just carries items/brands you typically won't find at Albertson's or Ralph's and IMO the quality is usually better for similar items. They also tended to have better produce than the other big chains when I lived in CA. It's not a place most people would typically shop for all their groceries though as its selection is a lot smaller outside of specialty foods. https://www.checkbook.org/national/supermarkets/articles/How-Do-Trader-Joe-s-and-Aldi-s-Prices-Compare-to-Supermarkets-7147 e: We're talking about a place widely known for its 2 Buck Chuck (or $3 now or whatever).

VikingSkull posted:a lot of people have electric stoves in TYOOL 2020 I get that. I'm renting an all-electric place and have lived in similar situations through power outages. What always surprises me is how few people will even consider baking bread *before* a forecast storm where they're going to be stuck at home, even when the bread they wanted to buy was gone. cheezel posted:Well, they did have gluten free flour but i'd rather survive without bread thanks!

My favorite is how consumerism is so baked into our dumb brains that we buy the two things you DON'T want in a survival situation; very perishable bread and milk. I think at one point it was honestly "hey we don't want these things to go to waste, please buy them" but now people equate preparation for disaster with buying these items.

If you need gluten-free apocalypse flour, just take one of your bags of rice and run over it with your car a bunch of times.

Bread hasn’t been “very perishable” in years. Buy some sliced white bread and leave in out for a month and you’ll just have super stale dry bread, but it’s all preservatives now

Similarly, I've been to both Fred Meyer and Safeway this weekend (I live in Ground Zero of Washington state's outbreak so c'est la vie) and while I saw the expected drawdown of t.p., milk, and rice/beans, all the medication shelves seemed to be as well-stocked as any other given winter weekend. You'd think people would be snarfing up Flonase, Sudafed, NyQuil and the like to deal with, you know, a bad cold/flu.

Like I said; most Americans are pretty soft. They lack the skills and knowledge of what they need for disaster preparedness. Heck I probably wouldn't have thought to get flu meds until I saw the suggestion here. Really interested in seeing what the DOW looks like tomorrow at open.

Look up no knead bread. It's easy to make and you probably have the ingredients on your shelf already (except yeast but you can just make starter for that. )

Instead of just eating rice I’m going to grind it into flour to make ‘bread’ because the extra energy is worth it for post apocalypse gluten free points.

It’s okay to eat normal food during disasters. Like you can just make sure you have two weeks of the food you usually eat instead of two days.
