For 1 person and a small dog I spent about $35 on items I would not have normally purchased: a case of water (mostly filled/froze containers I already had with tap water), canned soup, baby wipes for the dog's paws, extra charcoal, candles, a flashlight, etc...   4951

I only bought alcohol which I would have eventually bought and consumed anyway, but likely at a slower pace than @zman of course. Wait, I had one impulse buy for 1.99 at Randalls: cracker jacks! 4951

We really didn't spend any more than we would have normally.  Usually keep the cars full and we always have enough food and drink handy just in case 3-400 relatives expectantly show up for a long weekend.  4951

I bought some extra M&M's!  And extra supplies for my Mom.  I am ready to be in until Tues/Wed, and even then I only have to make it to the pharmacy. 4951

Well, we probably spent $200-300. We have plenty of food anyway -- I'm a stockpiler , too -- but I kind of got caught up in the moment. 😁😁 4951

You can back space over "may or may not..."  Come on over, got plenty.  First storm I didn't have to buy beer, wine or liquor. 4951
