How many days at a time between grocery stores? I do not mean average, I mean maximum. Or do you anticipate counting time in weeks between re-supply?

When I pack up food while at home for camping I have access to a wide variety of foods, etc. I think about 2 pounds (or a bit under a kg) per day. And I can get a bit over a week in a 15 liter dry bag.

But if I am shopping in stores, I am more likely to buy more canned foods, etc. Then it gets heavier and bulkier.

I am packing right now for a backpacking trip in the near future, food gets heavy.
