> Over the past few days, this has gotten less viable. We'd find ourselves driving 50 miles to pickup a $30 order. You might consider making tiers of food. And maybe get a standup freezer if you have the space/budget: Tier 1: fast perishable fruits/vegetables, e.g. bananas. You buy these in quantity at the store, but accept you’ll run out between trips Tier 2: root vegetables and other long lasting produce. You buy in quantity and store in a cool, dark place. Should last a while Tier 3: frozen meat, frozen nuts, frozen vegetables. Frozen sliced bread Tier 4: canned fish, canned fruit, canned vegetables. Canned meat/jerky I’m Canadian. My grandma had a root cellar in the basement. Tier 1 was basically out of the question every winter for a portion of her life You more or less arrange things as a tradeoff between tier 1, and trips to the store, which are both costly and increase exposure odds. You also then keep checking all delivery options and look for alternate qaya to keep tier up. But tiers 2 and 3 are fairly decent. There’s also bulk meal cooking + freezing after a store run. This is where the freezer comes in handy again. If you have a backyard, also a good time to experiment with gardening. It sounds like you’re already doing a good job of having emergency stockpiles. Am hopeful this might give you some more ideas for how to make the long term stockpile more palatable in between orders.
