If you were going to be without power for up to 5 days what food would you buy/stock?
I'd have fuel for my bbq grill and camp stove. If I have food I need to cook it.
I'd buy canned goods that require minimal heating.
A few loaves of bread and plenty of PB and J.
- Veggies and fruit- corn and olives are eaten out of the can all the time, canned fruit
- Chili requires little heating, you can heat the can on the grill.
- Chef boy r d- not the most nutritional but easy to heat and the kids like it
- Canned soups- again, little heating
- Applesauce, pudding cups (Snack Pack makes ones that don;t require refrigeration)
I can buy pancake mix that just needs water and make up a large batch quickly using little fuel on my grill/camp stove.
Beef jerky for protein, snack foods like chips/dips/cookies/crackers...because we need our junk food.
I'd also stock up on ice and freeze water jugs in my deep freeze. I can eat out of there for a while as it's pretty cold, but would open only as needed. After a certain point without power the content would be trashed.

coffee grounds and powdered creamer/sugar (if I don't have coffee nobody in my house will last 5 days lol)
Our power is expected to be turned off due to high winds as a preventive measure against wild fires.
