I wish I had $600 just to blow on food. ._.

If you lost power during a blizzard your home will likely stay cold enough for the food to keep, especially if you keep space heaters and the like away from your refrigerator. If worse comes to worse, pack it all in a cooler or similarly secure vessel, tack a flag or line on top so you can find it, and stick your food out in the snow or in your garage. That said, you're pretty foolish to stock up on food that spoils easily during an emergency. You need items that keep well but you can still eat without cooking if you are unable to operate a stove or other appliances. Remember that for next time.

That's why you're meant to buy tins of food and dried goods!

Ydi. Storm and blizzard usually means "no electricity", DUH. Buy canned food instead.

Stahp!!! All this talk of Blizzards is making me want to run to Dairy Queen!!!

Put the stuff outside, it should stay fresh. In the future, when a bad storm is coming, it often means you may go for days without power. Next time, buy non-perishable items. Your best bets are canned goods, bread & peanut butter, dry cereal, granola bars, and chips.

9/10 when theres a huge blizzard or storm of any kind power goes out-even if its just trmporary. you should have focused more on non parashables

Our family's power went out one winter and we just packed a few coolers with snow from our backyard, put our food in them, and kept it all out there until power was restored a few days later. Everything stayed fresh.

Buy canned food next time, also keep the freezer and fridge closed. If you don't open it, it should stay cool for a long time, it's isolated.

spending that much money for a blizzard and not having the foresight to think most if not all the food should be non perishable..YDI
