My partner just got back from dropping another 500 bucks on supplies...and that's after spending a lot more than that the last week or so. But this whole thing is really scaring her so if it provides her a little peace of mind then that alone serves a useful purpose. None of the stuff she's getting will likely go to waste anyway, so I look at it like we're just buying what we'll eventually need in the future anyway and given the uncertainty and unknown it's better to have it on hand and not need it than the other way around. Many sources recommend that you have enough supplies to last anywhere from a few days to a week to a month or more...including government websites.

But I'll bet the hard-core survivalists are having wet dreams lately. They live for this.
