Nowt worse than finding out all your grub is past its sell by date at the same time. Sometimes is better to keep buying smaller batchs fron multiple suppliers over say 6 months. that way your not risking all your grub at once.

BTW Be careful with those gas canisters if they are the long skinny ones that sit in a compartment on the side of the cookers, they leak sometimes. I had a nasty scare last year when one started leaking in my van as I was driving along.

They are exactly those gas canisters, so I will keep an eye on them as I have another 88 of them coming.

In terms of buying, I get your point, bu the bulk I buy in is every week. I am looking to build a store of 30 tonnes of food alone. Enough for a small commune to hold out for a long time. I also have 1000's packets of seed, yeast, herbs & spices and baking ingredients will long shelf lifes.

I may be slightly over cautous but I've taken to no longer keeping any gas canisters (apart from the fag light canister) in the house they are out in the garage now which has much better ventilation in case of leaks.

That'll provide you with time to reinforce the windows, build blast shutters, maybe even build your own bomb shelter.

Or try getting a job managing a corporate farm or perhaps a National Trust house?
