How long could you last without food shopping?

My friend never has any food in at home. Whenever he wants food, he buys a meal's worth from the shop. Next time he's hungry, it's back to the shop with him.

He said it means he's got a supermarket full of "always fresh" food rather than a fridge full of stuff that will soon go off if he doesn't eat it.

I looked in my cupboards and I feel like I'm low on food. Despite that, I could live a month without going especially hungry. How long would what's in your cupboards last you?

1 day 5
2 days 4
3-6 days 19
1 week 13
2 weeks 22
3-4 weeks 17
1-2 months 9
3-4 months 2
5 months+ 12

  • Out of absolute necessity? About 2 weeks. But I need to go shopping some time.

    • Since we share a kitchen I guess I will agree. I was thinking more like 2-4 days, but I eat more than you do.

    I said two weeks, but I had forgotten about my stash of Ramen noodles. Six weeks at least.

    About 2 weeks. I only eat 1 or 2 meals a day and I grew up poor so I am used to eating anything out of the cabinets, dried white rice with salt, ramen noodles, frozen meats, so I can probably go about 2 weeks feeding both myself and my husband if I absolutely could not grocery shop.

    I'm one of those annoying people who moved out of home when I was 19 and I STILL go back to my mom and dads for dinner...I bet they are actually gutted they can't get rid of me. I have an emergency supply of super noodles, dairy milk and cat food (not for me) but I think the question I really need to answer is how long could I last if my mom and dad ran out of food? *ponders*

    Realistically, around three weeks. I voted two days because all of the food in my cupboards require cooking and a good imagination. I shop for food constantly.

    Anywhere from 2-6 days, usually, depending on how much money we had to spend the last time we went to the store (There are times when we can only get a few things, so that obviously doesn't last as long). Although, I also live in a house with 4 people, one of whom is a teenage boy.

    A week or two at the most. There's not much here right now. I'm out of bread, eggs, ice cream, almond milk, pasta, jams and preserves, almost no fruit left. I have a few cans of stuff and not much else. Plenty of dog food though.

      Eat dog food and drink your own piss. Like Bear Grylls.

      • You know, he does that even when there's plenty of other food available. Turns out he just likes the taste.
