What do you still buy that you're convinced no one else still does?

[SomewhereInbetween1]

Title may have been a slight exaggeration, but is there anything you continue to purchase ( be it groceries, cleaning products, home bits etc) that is maybe seen as outdated, useless, old fashioned or just generally unliked by the masses , that you continue to buy?

Mine is Fisherman's Friend. I love them but have never found anyone else who still buys them!

[Scarlett555]

Boil in the bag cod in butter sauce. Don't think anyone else has bought them since the 1970s. They remind me of my mum.

[SpinneyHill]

Another boil in the bag fan here, also love bovril and crispy pancakes

[SomewhereInbetween1]

Scarlett555 I've not seen them, but they sound delicious!

[Rafiple]

I still buy fisherman's friends! Pretty much always have a packet around.

[ladyratterley]

My DP buys Fisherman's Friend too! Horrible things.

[SpinneyHill]

Lorne sausages(square sausage meat without skin for those who don't know) always get a reaction when I offer them

[missmouse101]

£10 a month mobile phone top up voucher. Fray Bentos pies. Angel Delight.

[Loopytiles]

Angel Delight still exists?! Must get some to give DC a taste of my childhood!

DH uses hankies and complains they are hard to find.

[peachgreen]

Ooh I've always got a packet of Angel Delight in the cupboard!

Mine is semolina. And I mix it with custard powder to make rice creamola because you can't buy that any more!

[FastAway]

I’ve just bought a salad spinner.

[Redshoeblueshoe]

DH buys Fisherman's Friend. I have a packet of Angel Delight in the cupboard.

[SomewhereInbetween1]

peachgreen rice creamolina sounds good!
loopytiles I always see hankies in Next!

[OverthinkingThis]

Salad cream
Tinned fruit

[Em8725]

Tin of spam, I always have one in the cupboard.

My Nan buys fisherman’s friends, always gives me a packet for Christmas 😂

[IncrediblySadToo]

You must have missed the thread about this about a month ago it was really interesting. No idea how to find it now though!

I eat Keto these days, but if I didn’t I’d buy some Findus Cheese things. I lived with a relative when I first went vegetarian and she hated anyone in her kitchen and was a hard core meat eater, so I practically lived on the bloody things 🤣. Haven’t had one in years.

Even after the long list on the other thread, I still can’t think of anything (food or otherwise) that I still buy that’s considered ‘out dated’ 🤔

[Wherearemyminions]

Brasso, Goddards foaming silver cleaner and dried marrowfat peas, all getting harder to find other than online!

Angel Delight

[SheSaidNoFuckThat]

@Scarlett555 I buy the ones in Parsley sauce, don't like the butter sauce

[SheSaidNoFuckThat]

@SpinneyHill I love Lorne sausage, best from a Scottish butchers not the frozen crap though

[Scarlett555]

@SheSaidNoFuckThat the parsley sauce ones are easier to come by so must be more popular. I only like the butter sauce ones. My mum used to make them for me with mashed potatoes and peas. Ultimate comfort food.

[Ohilovedinosaurs]

@Loopytiles I saw loads of hankies in Debenham last week. DP and I had a conversation wondering who on earth still buys them (and now we know ) but, in hindsight, I expect they'll be the next eco ethical thing being boasted about by the eco insta huns. Cloth bums, wipes, reusable bags, no plastic, hankies replacing tissues must be next

[SpringIsSprung1]

I still use gravy browning or gravy salt. My mum made the best roast beef gravy with it

[SheSaidNoFuckThat]

@Scarlett555 Farmfoods and my local Asda sell them both, Asda have their own in butter sauce too

[givemushypeasachance]

Pearce Duff's blancmange, delicious, the skin is the best part. Another Angel Delight fan too!

Dried marrowfat peas. Boxes of dried soup mix - dried veg and barley to stick in a broth.

My parents still buy tinned chopped pork, they have it with salad and jacket potatoes. Also those shelf stable sponge flan cases, which we'd make up as a dessert with tinned peaches and quick jel, and serve with tinned evaporated milk - it's really lovely! Never met anyone else who still buys evap but it's nice, you can have a bowl of chopped up bananas covered with evap sprinkled with sugar and it's delicious...
