No food shopping for a week challenge.

Would you be able to survive for a week from today without buying any food or drink? Would there be enough in your fridge/freezer and store cupboards?

    don't really have much cupboard space or freezer space to store that much food. also, with my family if I buy more food then they just eat more food...

    If the 30 people due tomorrow don't show up, then we should be fine! The house is full of yummy party food now that I am trying not to eat...

    Yes I could without any problem, store cupboards,fridge,freezer are always stocked up but only with food and drink we use {do not believe in just buying for the sake of it}. The only problem could be with fresh fruit or fresh veg but I do have tinned with both as a back up.

    Yes i could, but because i buy lots of YS products ide rather not, in the long run it would cost me more as I tend to meal plan around what i can get cheapest/reduced. Im not a fussy eater as long at its healthy. Edited to add my fridge/freezer is full, also my storecupboards and drinks and snacks are full to bursting (even my wine cooler is full, along with the cheap alcohol offers i bought atm :D

    Apart from milk, yes for a week. I could do it for a month if you let me buy fruit, veg, milk and eggs. The meal combinations might be getting a bit "interesting" by the end though!

    I'd be ok, although I have no bread. It would become interesting towards the end of the week I think!
