Wifey mcmoneybags was giving me a hard time because she isn't sure we have enough batteries if there's a hurricane. 
She welcomes my paranoia about things like that, but any mention of long term prepping gets me the 
When one of the stores opened a couple of days after the tornadoes, I bought hundreds of batteries. Even though they're in a drawer in the refrigerator, they'll probably expire before I use them all.
We didn't have enough canned goods for the 4-5 days without power, so my wife bought cans of beans, canned potato salad, Spam and other things just in case. Problem is that she's not replenishing that stuff as I eat it, so if we get hit again there won't be anything non-perishable to eat.
