2 x pears (aged, no hope that anyone will eat)
1 x kiwi (starting to wrinkle)
1 x banana - perfect
3 x satsumas
1 x plum (do people even eat plums at this time of year?)
1 x cycling helmet
1 x woolly hat
1 x asthma inhaler

Thank you to DH for the latter three items.

Some reduced pears I got from M&S yesterday, Tesco is coming later though so it will be overflowing with apples, bananas, grapes hopefully.

Theoldwoman · 30/11/2021 06:56

2 x mangoes
4 x apples
Bunch bananas
1 x orange

Won't be long until nectarines and peaches! My fav!

Blueberries, strawberries, grapes, mangos, half a dragon fruit and an old passion fruit in the fridge. Apples, satsumas, a pineapple and an old banana in the fruit bowl. We eat a lot of fruit!

@TheProvincialLady No it doesn't; even though you would sensibly think it would.
It doesn't smell at all (just checked) until you peel it.

TheProvincialLady · 30/11/2021 12:07

Thanks @Lottieskeeper, I will think about keeping garlic in the fruit bowl (if DH can make room) as it always goes a bit damp in the fridge.

This made me think, do people have vegetable racks? Ours are kept on a plate on the counter or just on the counter, the spuds are in the corner ... it's a mess!!

Oh and lemons in varying degrees of edible/usefulness
