in other words, i'm wondering why you need to have so much perishable "stuff" on hand, that then requires expensive generators & fuel to protect it once the power goes out?
Everyone has different answers to why do you do X?
In this case mine goes - need the generator to run the sump pump in the warmer months and the furnace in the colder months. With a kid with various medical challenges I just don't want to add to the "fun" just because mother nature and the local power company have decided that electricity is optional.
Running fridge & freezer is a nice bonus and may have become the driver since my son is on a very restricted diet and even in good conditions we can't always depend on the local grocery stores to carry what we need.
like much in life - you mileage may vary.
