I only have a tiny handful of peas but they're in the order due on Tuesday.

I bought hummus yesterday for the first time in ages (and pate) as i was in naice local deli.

Hate cucumber, all of us (but I have a courgette as I like that).

Have everything else.

BiddyPop · 12/02/2021 23:15

And I use all regularly

Gotheeunicorns · 12/02/2021 23:16

Everything except bread as we make our own. We don't drink wine but I always have some in just incase.

Hummus, erm nope.

Muchtoomuchtodo · 12/02/2021 23:19

Not rtt..........

All of those are staples in our house, and care in in stock.

Due to shop on Sunday

DenisetheMenace · 12/02/2021 23:20

All of them except hummus and crisps.
Lack of crisps is an oversight though, tbf Grin

icelollycraving · 12/02/2021 23:21

All of them. Next shop due tomorrow Blush
I have a real worry if running out of stuff, perhaps from times when money was v tight. Dh teases me about the stash of essentials.

CherryBlossomTree7 · 12/02/2021 23:23

All of them.

mootymoo · 12/02/2021 23:23

No apples, cucumber or hummus here, but have chickpeas, lemon juice and tahini

YummyInMyTummy · 12/02/2021 23:23

All apart from the hummus and crisps (which, along with the cucumber, I don’t consider to be “essential”). I do have tahini and chickpeas etc so guess I could make my own hummus!

nordica · 12/02/2021 23:23

No flour, eggs or cucumber here.

HollyBen · 12/02/2021 23:23

All except hummus though I am not sure there is enough flour to actually make anything

Begonias · 12/02/2021 23:24

I have everything on that list OP. They get ordered every week for delivery on a Wednesday. They definitely are a staple in our house.

mootymoo · 12/02/2021 23:26

Ps we normally eat hummus with crisps but I bought aioli this week

BeastOfBODMAS · 12/02/2021 23:26

No cucumber, not a fan but have other salad ingredients.
No apples, I prefer a nice pear! Plenty of those
Everything else yep - deconstructed hummus as chickpeas/tahini/lemon juice/garlic are cupboard lurkers

MojoJojo71 · 12/02/2021 23:35

Everything except wine and crisps, I rarely buy either

bellsbuss · 12/02/2021 23:37

All of them.

chipsandgin · 12/02/2021 23:41

All of them. The wine won’t be on the list much longer though, quite possibly the crisps too. It’s been a long week.

passtheorange · 12/02/2021 23:47

@Norugratsatall

Everything but the hummus.
Likewise.
Umbongoumbongo999 · 12/02/2021 23:49

All of them, I've just picked up my shopping this afternoon.

I thought for a moment you were asking how many eggs, cheeses etc 😂

If that's the question, I have 13 eggs 1 tub hummus, 3 bottles of wine ( well 2.5!) Half a dozen assorted cheeses.

IggyAce · 12/02/2021 23:52

Everything but the hummus.

DietrichandDiMaggio · 13/02/2021 00:02

All but the hummus.

namechange63524 · 13/02/2021 00:02

All of them but we got our shop yesterday.

Kitkat151 · 13/02/2021 00:03

Cheese , bread and wine

UntamedShrew · 13/02/2021 00:04

All of them! How did you guess?
