Hi Avril,
well done to you for getting yourself sorted. The average family has about 3-4 day’s food at any time in their house. Boxes of cereal, a few cans and perishable food that will last a few days. Chances are they won’t have water or a way to cook but forget that. Let’s say the average family can get by for 4 days. As long as you have prepared yourself with food, water and a way to cook then you are ahead of the majority. I don’t have any family around me but that is something I have learned to deal with and to be honest I find doing things alone is the best way. Stay well 🙏
