What to buy to tie yourself over for a few days.

Tinned food and bottled water are items that you should consider having a supply of incase you are cut off. Environment Secretary Angela Eagle said:

 “If you’ve got a store of a bit of food that can keep you going for a while before the emergency services can get to you, you’re going to be a lot better off than if you haven’t. So some of it is that kind of preparation for just being a bit more resilient.”

Tinned goods, bottled water, and dried foods make sense as they are non-perishables that would be able to keep you going in an emergency. 

For a more in-depth list, registered nutritionist Stephanie Baker told Metro to focus on tinned items that "will give you the basis for curries, chillies, soups, stews, pasta dishes, rice bowls, porridge, oat bars, and snacks without needing fresh ingredients,’ she explains." 

Items such as tinned beans, legumes, tinned fish, tinned vegetables and dried goods such as lentils, rice, and oats.
