February List
Sorry for the delay. Without further ado, here is February's list.
Emergency Kit Requirements
$20.00 more in small bills or change - check! It's a miracle! Dish actually had cash and it was in small bills or change.
Axe - WHAT? Axe? What is Dish going to do with an axe? Is this emergency preparedness for zombie attacks? Or, perhaps, more realistically, Dish might need to chop firewood? Should arm muscles also be on the list? Dish could definitely use some of those. In any case, Dish decided to save the buying of an axe for later (if ever). Instead, this month she decided to go with the more practical First-Aid Kit option. Canadian Tire - $15.99
Paper towels - 6 rolls of Bounty (no one wants to have to use shoddy cheap paper towels in an emergency) - $5.99. Dish put one roll in the emergency kit and the rest with the regular food storage items.
Aluminum foil - 50' for $2.49
Trash Bags and twist ties - 24 Kitchen bags - $1.99
Total- $46.46 (including the $20 in cash)
Food Storage Requirements
Grains
Wheat - Apparently the recommended amount is 200 lbs of wheat per adult! Not bloody likely. Where is Dish going to put 200 lbs of wheat? None purchased. Instead, Dish bought flour - 10 kg for about $12 at Costco (thank you Aaron!)
Corn - Meh. There's a bag of frozen in the freezer.
Oats - 1 kg bag - $2.49 (Dish might need spider cookies in an emergency)
Rice - 2 x 2 kg of white rice (it supposedly keeps better than brown) - $4.99 each
Total - $24.27
Grand total for the month - 70.93

an axe would be of no use whatsoever in the event of a zombie attack
here's a useful article

The Zombie Survival Guide says that an axe handle can be good to knock zombies out of the way or fending off an individual attack. Although, even it recommends that a crowbar as a more effective tool in such scenarios. Clearly Dish was right in putting off purchasing an axe.
