Yeah I'll never understand the people that go to the store daily or bidaily to see what's for dinner tonight, that seems like a big waste of time with increased exposure to whatever flu is currently popular. On the other hand, the planning involved in "where will I be, what will I be doing five days from now, will the potatoes have sprouted and the tomatoes be mouldy again by then" is also not fun, but yeah half a week (3-4 days) is the minimum of how often I ideally go

Anyway I was keeping in mind (I mentioned) that one might store a week's worth of food, but now that I consider it again, also in the context of apartments vs. bigger buildings: I don't have a big family that lives with me (no children or parents or so, just partner), so I should perhaps multiply this by two extra persons. It still doesn't add up to more than half of the 300USD figure, but it's less outlandish if the 'average' household is considered to be 4 people who all eat adult-sized portions (as teenagers probably already would)
