No hummus (never get it so wouldn't call it a staple)

bluerad · 12/02/2021 21:34

No cucumber or hummus

All except hummus.

orangenasturtium · 12/02/2021 21:35

I always have:
Eggs
Multiple cheeses
Frozen peas
Flour

I currently have but don't buy weekly:
Bread
Crisps
Hummus

I rarely buy apples, they are my second least favourite fruit.

I never have cucumber, it is vile.

Wine is most definitely an essential Grin but I don't have any.

wishywashywoowoo70 · 12/02/2021 21:35

Everything except hummus

Softpebbles · 12/02/2021 21:35

Eggs - 4
Cheese - only vegan. Ran out of normal
Bread - half loaf in freezer
Apples - used last today
Cucumber - dc finished tonight
Frozen peas - used tonight
Flour
Hummus - buy in weekends
Wine - probably. Not a fan.
Crisps - just the dregs left

I really need to go food shopping tomorrow!

Lemoncurd · 12/02/2021 21:35

No crisps, rarely buy them. No hummus but would normally have it.

Belledan1 · 12/02/2021 21:35

All except humus and wine. Had had a shop delivery today. Not really a wine drinker more spirits and husband has lager.

EvilEdna1 · 12/02/2021 21:35

All but apples. Fruit box delivery comes tomorrow.

yearinyearout · 12/02/2021 21:36

But the eggs went off a week ago and I haven't got round to chucking;

How do you know they're off unless you've cracked them all? Eggs can be eaten past their best before date...they might not be as plump and fresh but perfectly fine to use.

toocold54 · 12/02/2021 21:37

Everything but hummus wine and crisps

just5morepeas · 12/02/2021 21:38

Everything except hummus and wine. Why do you ask?

NotanotherboxofFrogs · 12/02/2021 21:39

No wine as don't like wine at all. No frozen peas as don't like them but I do have tinned processed peas which I do like.

Oh no! I’m loosing now, my bet was hummus was a staple for more people than crisps, unless of course no one has it because it’s already been eaten ... (ok clutching at straws, but I was trying to make a point and don’t want to admit defeat! This is very lighthearted by the way, no need for nutritional analysis or need to LTB!)

All except apples, as we prefer berries.

AlexandraPeppernose · 12/02/2021 21:40

All except hummus which we would definitely have in warmer weather

kennycat · 12/02/2021 21:41

Yep all of those. If I run out of frozen peas I get very worried- it’s definitely time for shopping. And baked beans. Surely one should never run out of those!!

Pixie2015 · 12/02/2021 21:41

Literally everything on your list is on our weekly shop which came today !
