What do you never have at home, that most people would always have?

[Hairymaery]

I'll go first, we never have margarine, I just hate it, even though DH thinks it's the best! (sorry dh)

Takeaway

Alcohol (not tee total just don't drink at home\much at all)

Fish - cannot stand taste or smell. If I'm away for a few days my husband will buy and cook it 😁

Bread. We just never eat it. DC has lunch from the school canteen so never takes sandwiches, I usually have soup/crackers and cheese for lunch. We have cereal or porridge, or yogurt and fruit for breakfast.

Less smugness than a lot of people on this thread

Never have margarine either - I don't see the point. Butter all the way!
We also don't have:
Toaster
Bath
Car

And...
A husband

Plus no ring doorbell, CCTV, security lighting etc.

True

I don’t know, there’s the odd smug post but most are interesting and a few are sad. I didn’t realise margarine was so unpopular - I always keep some Olivio in for my friend who is allergic to dairy!

Interesting it’s so much about food.

A dog.

Butter substitutes is the newer name for margarine. They just renamed them to try and sell margarine to people who don't want margarine.

Eggs

Salt
Oil

But no irony.

Love a bit of Clover ... perfect for my cheap white toast 🤭

Proper butter annoys me though ! It's either too runny if left out or you can't spread it out of the fridge or you need to soften it up in the microwave first or something.
It is better than the spreads taste wise , but it's a bit more faffing about.
My mum always bought anchor!
