We don’t have cucumber or hummus.

DariaMorgendorffer · 12/02/2021 22:09

We have everything on that list

BreatheAndFocus · 12/02/2021 22:10

All of them except the hummus because I only buy it occasionally.

I’d say they were all staples apart from the hummus and cucumber. I’d also add chocolate though. I’m never without some and it’s most definitely a staple!

Katie1784 · 12/02/2021 22:10

I have all of these in. Loads and loads of the things we use a lot of eg cheese, flour, peas.
I have been making a real effort to keep really well stocked ever since the pandemic started, partly because of Brexit worries but mainly in case of having to quarantine.

Gliblet · 12/02/2021 22:11

Eggs - 8
Cheese - half a block
Bread - a loaf and a half
Apples - none
Cucumber - half
Frozen peas - about 1/3 of a bag
Flour - 1/4 bag of plain, 1/2 bag of SR, 3/4 bag of wholemeal
Hummus - none
Wine - none
Crisps - about a dozen bags

Why?

All of them except hummus and crisps.

ChonkyChook · 12/02/2021 22:13

No wine.
We do have crisps but it's a sharing pack of Doritos that's been there weeks. Not a staple.

StealthRoast · 12/02/2021 22:13

No hummous or wine as nobody likes the former and we don’t really drink anymore.

Actually, just realised we have no cucumber either but going food shopping tomorrow.

Some of those items are definitely not what I would class as staples!

Ritascornershop · 12/02/2021 22:14

No wine, no crisps, no hummus, no apples. We always have tinned chickpeas though, and lots of fruit, just not often apples.

Where’s your carbs besides flour? What about pasta and rice? Tea and coffee?

SionnachRua · 12/02/2021 22:15
