Could you live off the food in your pantry?

I swear I could not go shopping for a month and we'd still be able to eat three meals a day with what's in our pantry.  Doesn't mean we won't eat pasta or tuna every day, but it's possible.

Could you?

Absolutely!  Between the pantry and freezer we could go at least a month with some careful planning.  No fresh veggies, but we definitely would not starve!

not really ...I need to do some serious grocery shopping!  Unless we wanna live on chicken noodle or tomato soup for a week.

we would starve unless we could live off falafel, corn and hummus...

I have been dropping the ball on grocery shopping..sucks.

Between the pantry and the freezer, yes, and sadly, we often do! LOL Now, I will go buy fruit and veggies and small things here and there, but there are a lot of times where I don't go grocery shopping for big stuff but once a month.

Funny you posted this b/c I decided as of last Monday we were going to eat most everything in the freezer before we go shopping again. I made a list and meal planned and have enough food in the house to make dinner every night until Fri 16th. When that day comes I will re-evaluate and will probably still have a at least a couple things I can come up with to make a few more meals. So not quit a month but well over 2 weeks.

Yes, we could.  We would run out of fresh stuff obviously, but there is plenty there to last us awhile.

i'm sure there would be plenty food to eat for weeks on end...it wouldn't be the healthiest diet but we could survive just fine.

we have lots of food in the pantry and freezer.  We couldn't form any great meal out of it, but if we had any kind of emergency, we'd be fine.  crackers, cereal, gravy, rice. sounds good, huh?

Yes, I have a small grocery store in my pantry.  It's bad.  I tend to overbuy.  I forget what all I already have and buy more!
