I'm trying to envision how much food we'll need once we are official empty nesters and it's just me and my husband. We still have 2 young adults living at home who are in school/working. Right now we have a large walk in pantry filled with shelf stable food plus a large closet off of our kitchen filled with bulk goods - Costco sized packages of toilet paper, paper towels, bottled water, etc. We also have a beverage fridge and a full size freezer in our large garage. I think back to what we had on hand before kids all those umpteen years ago and it was nowhere near this amount of stuff. We had one spice cabinet, a regular fridge w/freezer compartment and a small (non walk in) pantry.
I think maybe I'll post a question asking people about how their food budget has changed since getting to TV. Do they eat out more often? How often do they shop for food, etc. How much do they buy in bulk. I'll do some searches first to see if this has already been asked and answered.
