We do the same, minus the tamiflu, but we use the excuse that it is for a storm situation like Katrina, which it is. But it makes a nice excuse for me to buy stuff that my wife will buy off on. We keep on hand 3 gallons per day per person for a 2 week period, lots of ways to cook, canned food, propane, generators, gas for the 4 wheeler, boats, chainsaws, etc. Oh and a whole bunch of ammo. A storm could hit ya know.

I'm not a fear-monger. And I have a two-week supply of food, water and yes, tamiflu. Other basic medications. Prescription meds. First aid. Everything but a shotgun.

We used to always have a two week supply of food on hand, but the kids have amazing appetites, and the two week supply lasts about 4 days now. We need a bigger pantry.

Big grain of salt there.

We have some stuff. Our pantry actually has a bit of food in it, some of which is expired. But in a bad situation, eating a can of peaches that's 3 months past it's 'best by' date is better than the alternative.
