Do you think a bigger war is maybe going to happen

Deleted too

Everything in the news is so gloomy and horrible. 

I just wonder if it will end up into war. 

Things like food sizes going down is something that happened before WW2. 

It is scary. 

Do keep a few stocked up items at home, make sure your medical/first aid kits are up to date and a little bit extra. 

Maybe buy in a few food tins with a very good best before date like 24/25 plus, some treats that you can rotate. stuff you like so it wont go to waste. 

Any clothing items such as socks, tights etc. 

Just in case things get more difficult to get at shops and more expensive.

  • I make sure I have at least a couple of weeks of food and a few months of medication at home. Less because I'm afraid of something catastrophic like a world war, more because I don't want to be stressed out if there's a shortage of a particular item. I have quite rigid food routines so something going out of stock can really throw me off if I don't have a stockpile. It also means that I can miss a weekly shopping trip (eg because it's the week before Xmas and I don't want to deal with crowds, or because I'm not well, or because there's a blizzard outside) and I can coast through to the following week without having to change my diet much (just switch from fresh veg to what's in the freezer).
