Gotta Get Bread & Milk…But Why?
A winter storm is headed toward southeastern Michigan. The roads will be inevitably scary, which only means one thing… Get to the grocery store and be sure to stock up…
KFAR HAROEH, ISRAEL – MARCH 30: A worker tends to the St. Mor, Camembert and Brie cheeses in the chamber where they are allowed to mature and develop their moulds at the Jacobs family dairy March 30, 2008 in Kfar Haroeh in central Israel. World food prices are soaring in the face of what some analysts are describing as a perfect storm of circumstances – increasing demand from developing economies in Asia, rising fuel prices, severe weather impacting recent harvests and an economic shift to biofuel production. All this leaves the consumer paying more for basic staples such as bread and milk and is likely to have its hardest impact on poorer nations. (Photo by David Silverman/Getty Images)

Get to the grocery store and be sure to stock up on bread and milk. This guy knows what we're talking about. Remember him?
Some say it's all media hype, but someone has to warn us and tell us when it's time to get the bread and milk. One news station in Nashville created a "Panic-o-meter" to help viewers know when to allow for extra time during commutes, when to buy bread and milk and when to go into a full-blown winter storm panic.

The American Red Cross preparedness website recommends more than just bread and milk. There are some important items that you may want to consider purchasing as well, including: one gallon of water per person per day, non-perishable foods (bread and milk do expire), flashlights, batteries, sanitation products,blankets, extra cash and of course, cell phone chargers. For the complete list, visit their website. But really, you can't go wrong with bread and milk...it's where French Toast comes from!

Erin has always wondered why bread and milk? It's all about sustenance. But, to each their own. In the case of a winter storm, Erin said she'd be stocking up on the whiskey and chicken nuggets...not bread and milk. Of course she is not alone...
