The money I have saved is going to go towards decent preps. I also bought some silver foil mylar blankets from the pound shop so not banking on them being very good?
Bought some decent sewing needles and thread.
Well done PAD. That's really good!!!
In regard to the mylar Poundland blankets, they're nearly as good as normal ones, only difference is that they're smaller. You know when you see runners with a small space blanket that only wraps their top half? That's how big they are.
Today, for my prep, I have.....Started filling the side cupboard with tins! The base layer is about 40 tins! So, each level I cover, leads to another 40 tins! For 2 people, 40 tins, ignoring being bulked with rice and pasta (separately stored) will last just about 6.5 days (1 tin each, per meal, 3 times a day, plus rice pudding, custard, and dessert type tins as extras). So, each level I manage to cover is another week's worth of food. Add to that, bulking up and the alike.
Porridge for breakfast means it'll be 2 tins a meal, twice a day = 4 tins a day. Thus, each level will be 10 days of food.
Once a day, bulk with rice or pasta (we have many months worth of that) will mean that meal will be 1 tin for flavour. So it'll last longer.
I'm going to make a post on this, as it could take a while to do all the maths.
