All of them!

Moominmama5 · 12/02/2021 21:42

No cheese (finished yesterday), crisps (because I just eat them all) or hummus (threw out of date pot out today).

cookiemonster5 · 12/02/2021 21:42

No cucumber (I'm the only one who would eat it so it's a waste as it goes bad before I finish it)
No hummus either. The texture looks weird to me and I can't stand to try it.

The rest is basics except maybe the wine but I bought in for Xmas and then we got locked down so no one was here to drink it and I feel a bit sad drinking on my own too often lol.

Interested in this thread?

No hummus, apples or wine. We don't drink, apples don't get eaten unless fed to the small furries but I do have the ingredients for hummus.

Thedot90 · 12/02/2021 21:43

I’m with you OP - shocked by how few people consider hummus a staple! We restock at least once a week (big tub)

MiaMc · 12/02/2021 21:43

Everything if I include a half-eaten past it’s use by date pot of hummus and the wrinkly end of a cucumber (shopping day tomorrow!)

justjuggling · 12/02/2021 21:43

ClinkyMonkey · 12/02/2021 21:44

All of those except the hummus. But I have chickpeas, tahini paste, olive oil, lemon and garlic to make my ownGrinGrin Just haven't been arsed for a while. But the crisps ... I have a LOT of crisps!

MrsPernicious · 12/02/2021 21:44

Quite low on wine Blush

Never have wine or hummus

delilahbucket · 12/02/2021 21:47

No cucumber, apples (never buy these) or hummus (we make our own). We have all the others though and usually do. It's the day before the shopping is due as well.

pallisers · 12/02/2021 21:47

Everything except hummus and cucumbers (would often have both though)

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 12/02/2021 21:47

@yearinyearout

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.

Agreed. Pop egg (in shell) in jug of water, only if it floats is it off. Or crack and smell. Eggs last for ages!
vampirethriller · 12/02/2021 21:48

No cucumber, hummus, wine or crisps.

truthlemon · 12/02/2021 21:49
