to wonder if cucumbers are an essential purchase?

[MadameMeursault]

Woman walked out of Tesco in front of me carrying 2 cucumbers only! Wtf?

[LeggyLinda]

Depends what she plans to do with them I suppose.

[Rockbird]

They are in this house. The only vegetable that dd2 eats without moaning.

[OddBoots]

maybe she wanted other things but they were out of stock?

[Lockheart]

Good grief not another competitive bare essentials thread.

[LouiseTrees]

wonder if why she needed cucumbers

[Magicbabywaves]

Maybe it was the first time she’d been out the house? Mind your own business.

[SauvignonBlanche]

wonder if why she needed cucumbers

It’s Piimms weather

[LemonRedwood]

FFS mind your own bloody business.

Are we going to question whether everything is essential? What are we allowed to buy OP?

[P1nkHeartLovesCake]

She had lube too, it was in her pocket. Poor love can’t get a tinder shag right know can she 😂

[Stefoscope]

Well technically nothing is an essential food purchase during this time as most healthy people could survive 3 weeks without eating. Do we really want to get into policing what people are eating and drinking?

[Slith]

Perhaps she went for lots of other things as well but they didn't have any?

[SarahInAccounts]

Maybe she did a click and collect yesterday and half the stuff didn't turn up (like we did)

If we were allowed out we'd be doing something similar.

[Flymetothetoon]

Ffs can we stop this now it's getting ridiculous.
We are all different and what is essential to one person isn't necessarily essential to the next.
If any anyone judges what I buy at the shops they will be told to keep their nosy beak to themselves!

[NamasteAtHome]

Pathetic. I can’t believe we are reduced to this.

[GreenWheat]

Are fresh fruit and vegetables essential? Yeah. Now take of that massive pair of judgy pants and find something yo do.

[Singlebutmarried]

I pop out for fruit and veg as we need it. It doesn’t keep forever.

We bulk buy meat, portion it and vac pack it in the freezer.

But fruit and veg we buy fresh. It doesn’t all go off at the same time.

Perhaps all her other fruit n veg was fine and she needed cucumber

[JasonPollack]

Unless she also had lube and condoms I would say not.


Well done for noticing! Have you considered starting up a neighborhood watch.

[FlapAttack23]

Double fun times?

[MysteryFrog]

Think the 110% result says it all op!

[480Widdio]

Mind your own business.

[mrsbyers]

For god sake mind your own business , I’m sure she could question the contents of your shopping bags and ask similar

[TheHumansAreDefinitelyDead]

People are really going out of their way to get their knickers in a twist over something anything....

Who cares

I don’t think it is up to citizens to police other citizens

Ever

[Cohle]

Pimms. Or makeshift sex toys?

But yeah, I do think running out to the shops every time something takes your fancy is pretty shit behaviour these days.

[myself2020]

Over various threads we had people stating that all these are NOT essential

• cucumber
  
• milk
  

-bread
-pasta

• fresh fruit
  

and that’s just what i saw. so what is actually essential? tinned vegetables only?

[AntiHop]

Ffs op. Maybe she did a big shop, realised she forgot those and went back.

Perhaps she's down to her last pennies and that's all she could afford.
