What grocery items do you never buy?

[AmberTurnerCo]

I would
Alcohol
Crisps apart from Pringles

What do you use instead of toilet roll?

Tofu
Quinoa
Kale
Mouse traps
Denture cleaning Stuff
Pile cream
Condoms
Lubricant
Meat substitutes

What a weird thread this is.

Tinned potatoes or tinned fruit
Sardines
Coloured or patterned toilet paper
Any food or products for pets as we haven't got any !
Most tinned soups (as they all taste horrible these days)
Any pies that come in a tin
Flavoured tea
Pot noodles

We live in a hard water area and I have to buy the fabric conditioner that doesn't have any smell to it as the heavily perfumed ones make my eyes water and give me allergies. It makes the clothes a bit softer , although I don't use it on a towel wash as I like them to be a lot less fluffy!
I also don't buy any frozen meat but tend to just freeze it from fresh. Not sure why really : old habits die hard.

@Ginfordinner

What do you use instead of toilet roll?

I imagine a bum gun - and if so I'm jealous...have fond memories of them when I spent a few months in Asia: Nice clean bum, no need for paper, handy for rinsing off sandy feet and useful for the female equivalent of Penis Beaker occasions

Coloured toilet paper
Frozen meat
Tinned meat
Cake/biscuit mix
Fizzy drinks in bottles (cans available for occasional drinks/guests but no one really likes them in our house)
Bread

Anything with beef/gelatin as I've been terrified of prion diseases since the early '90s. Cereal, ready meals, milk in any size other than a pint (and I have to chuck half of that as it goes off before I use it all), baked beans, non bio powder (seems to just bleach/fade everything instead of removing stains), pot noodles, chips (make my own).

Do they do coloured toilet paper anymore?

But what are you all using the tinned tomatoes for?

@AfterSchoolWorry

But what are you all using the tinned tomatoes for?

Tomato soup Minestrone soup Curry of varous types Bolognese or other tomato-based pasta sauces Delia's Spanish pork and olives

Loads of things, especially in winter.

@AfterSchoolWorry

But what are you all using the tinned tomatoes for?

Loads: Pizza topping Pasta sauces Curries Bolognese Chilli Burritos Casseroles Loads more that I can't think of right now

Do you not eat anything with tomato based sauces at all?

@AfterSchoolWorry bolognese, chilli con carne, home made pasta sauce.

And soup of course

Oh!

Do you not eat anything with tomato based sauces at all?

Yeah, but I wouldn't make them myself! I hate cooking!

Fair enough. I don't like the taste of jarred tomato sauces.

@Oliversmumsarmy Sainsbury’s do.

DD is off to uni in a couple of weeks so I won't have to buy ketchup, Yazoo chocolate milkshake, fizzy drinks, ready made pasta sauces or pasta. Can't wait!

My local Sainsbury’s doesn’t.

Never buy:
Ketchup
Fabric softener
Alcohol
Tinned food
Fizzy drinks
