A Guide to Expiration Dates on Foods
Everyone should have food for at least a week. There is no need for a natural disaster in order for the food to come into use, it is enough that you become ill and cannot go to the grocery store in a few days. Having a larger food stock than that, which lasts for a month or two, is a good idea for everyone.
It is cheaper to buy food in bulk and to stock up with food just in case. But it's important that you don't buy food that then gets old and expires just because you don't have the time to eat it. Consuming the food you buy is important from waste and environmental perspective but also from an economical standpoint.
To make it easier for yourself, it is good to keep track of how long different foods can actually be stored - often they are edible long after the best before date....
