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is there anything you continue to purchase ( be it groceries, cleaning products, home bits etc) that is maybe seen as outdated, useless, old fashioned or just generally unliked by the masses , that you continue to buy?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!

Atora suet (in the blue pack) for making dumplings.
Greaseproof paper for lining tins etc.

Eighties crisps - Monster Munch, Frazzles etc.

Also bicarbonate of soda for various cleaning requirements - I buy it bulk on Amazon. I'm probably on some terrorist watchlist somewhere for suspicious purchase of chemicals

Andrews Liver Salts, dried mushy peas (with the bicarb tablet), brillo pads, bar soap, cartridges for my fountain pen, polo mints...

Fry’s peppermint cream.

OverthinkingThis we use way too much salad cream for sandwiches mixes (tuna, egg) and sometimes fruit cocktail is ideal for 3 year olds pudding.

I've got a packet of Atora in the cupboard.
Pen cartridges, the silver cleaning stuff.
And I have a compact case with a mirror

Big box washing powder (Persil). It comes in a cardboard box ( so no plastic box or bottle) and washes better than liquid/capsules. It is much cheaper too!

Fry's peppermint cream is in B&Ms

Ooh, primula cheese in a tube.

I've just bought a pocket diary for next year! First time for years and years. I think it will be much easier to put appointments in there than fiddling with my phone at dentist/hairdresser, etc. Will still transfer to phone when I have time.

Oh I used to love chocolate angel delight with choc magic stars mixed in

I buy dried broth mix and cod in parsely sauce Young's is the best one. I buy square packet ham everyone seems to be avoiding processed meat these days

thefaeriequeen I buy Persil in boxes too

Ambrosia old-fashioned rice pudding in a tin with sultanas! Mmmmm!

DH loves fisherman's friends

Sorry but I'm about to win the thread. I am sitting at work eating...

A Shippams chicken spread sandwich! Yum.

Yes to bar soap! I actually started buying it because of Mumsnet and it's a real game-changer. I underestimated how clean my hands would feel and I don't miss the smell of chemicals or perfumes!

Hankies are absolutely disgusting though, sorry. I don't want to carry around a phlegm rag around with me and then put it in my washing machine.

Atora suet, and tinned minced beef (only used on jacket potatoes, in a school fridays throwback kind of way!)

I get ginormous boxes of washing powder in farmfoods when they are on offer last for months.

Fry's fans: you can get multipacks in Poundland as well. Also, last Christmas Iceland did a Fry's selection box - it was great and a total bargain, like a couple of quid. I need to go back and see if they're doing them this year - possibly too early just yet though.

I also buy/use ink cartridges (I like Kaweco), bar soap and some of the other stuff on here.

And dandelion and burdock! Love it. My family refuse to try it on the principle that it contains dandelions (I doubt it actually does but anyway - all the more for me). That seems quite old school.

Everyone in Scotland still buys Lorne sausage! I think I buy most things mentioned, I'm an old soul.

I love Oxtail for stew with pearl barley and pudding rice for a comforting pud.

I used to love karvol capsules for flu they have Klear-vol now which are rubbish.
.
For my fire wood flamers and wood spills.

I miss Dreft powder which is still available in the US I believe.

One thing out of fashion is a nightclothes holder. My oldest had a Mickey mouse I don't think they even make them now.

Iceland has the Fry's selection box in I saw it last week and told everyone .

To all the box washing powder people, I think it makes the laundry smell so much nicer too!

Ambrosia tinned tapioca pudding (known as frogspawn in our house). Yummy!
