All of the above

Everything except the cucumber and hummus. None of us really like hummus and I'm the only person who eats cucumber so we rarely have it in the house. We always have other salad ingredients like lettuce and tomato though as I know they'll be eaten.

We only have frozen peas to use for injuries too. None of us like them and we got them in a Co-op £5 meal deal thing a while ago. They've lasted well as an ice pack. Grin

DramaAlpaca · 13/02/2021 02:06

All of them

Tavannach · 13/02/2021 02:11

All of them except maybe the crisps - there might be a packet or two of Pom bears at the back of the top shelf.

Gingerkittykat · 13/02/2021 02:33

Eggs 6 or so, I was given a 12 pack substituted for a 6 pack in my last shop.
Cheese 1/2 pack feta, unopened pack cheddar, opened Philadelphia and chocolate Philadelphia.
Bread About half a loaf.
Apples...4.
Cucumber...0.
Frozen peas...0.
Flour...1/2 packet of plain, no self-raising.
Hummus...0.
Wine...1 bottle which was gifted and I don't drink.
Crisps...I think there's some hula hoops.

RavingAnnie · 13/02/2021 03:19

No crisps, no houmous.

RavingAnnie · 13/02/2021 03:20

Oh and no cucumbers.

RavingAnnie · 13/02/2021 03:21

Or apples, no apples. Always have bananas though. They are a staple in this house rather than apples which we have periodically rather than all the time.

RavingAnnie · 13/02/2021 03:23

Rarely buy houmous these days as garlic triggers my IBS.

Crisps are a treat so only bought rarely.

HerRoyalNotness · 13/02/2021 03:49

All except Hummus

H had to go to the store earlier because we’re having an adverse weather event and it seemed people were most interested in buying milk, toilet paper again and Swiss miss hot chocolate

Insertfunnyname · 13/02/2021 04:19

Everything except the wine as we don’t drink

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 13/02/2021 06:29
