Nothing at all.
I don't get the whole 'it's going to snow so run to the store and stand in line' thing. We have enough food (and wine) here already to last us quite a while, no need for additional shopping.
I lost power for over an hour yesterday and my taps still ran....i never understood the stock piling of bottled water. Unless you have a well maybe. Not sure how well water works water but city water still flows from the tap in a power outage to fill the Brita .

Nothing special. We just got back from vacation yesterday so we needed milk and bread anyway as well as some other regular necessary items.

I couldn't get near Trader Joe's so I gave up and went to Best Market, which was sold out of everything and had 57 people on the cold cut line.
So nothing special over here!

I believe wells run on an electric pump. I don't think too many still have well water on they island these days. My sil lost power for a few days two weeks ago. No water and they have an electric stove so it was rough for them.

All I wanted were mozzarella sticks and cinnamon rolls from Trader Joe's. The parking lot was insane. I told DH not to come home tonight without junk food.

There is a chance the tap water won't be safe to drink. If there is a boil water advisory, I'd prefer to drink bottled water. If your electricity is out and your stove is electric, you won't be able to boil water.

Re: Milk, bread, and eggs. Oh my!
Here is the thing- I don't stock pile food in my house ever. I go grocery shopping on Monday's for food for the week and by the weekend our cupboards and fridge is empty. My kids eat all day when they are home. I don't keep nest in the freezer or excess boxes of snacks or pasta. I buy what we are consuming that week. So yeah, I had to go grocery shopping today for my weekly shop. I don't stock up on junk food but I do buy extra snacks for the kids and I will cook more "wintry" foods when it is going to snow.
It's funny because just like some people can't understand why people go grocery shopping before a storm I don't understand all the people who keep so much food in their house all the time.

It actually saves a lot of money! If something we eat very regularly is on sale, I'd rather buy extra at the sale price vs. paying full price the following week.
