DD found a shopping list in Waitrose

[LemonDrizzle10]

No naice ham
Feet?

I used to love the shopping list threads on here years ago!

Anyone else remember el bog rollé?
It still appears on our shopping list to this day

I always have crumble mix in the cupboard! Why shouldn't we be lazy about some things? There's no moral superiority over mixing your own crumble mix you know.

Packet cheese sauce is disgusting though.

If the crumble mix is lazy what would you call someone who never made a pudding and only ever served shop-bought things?

Asking for a friend.

Yes of course crumble mix is acceptable I used to use when the kids were little on a Sunday , to give them a pudding . So where are the apples to add to the blackberry and apple crumble ?

<clutches pearls>

Still reeling from the crumble mix!

I can assure you there’s plenty of blackberries in cities! There’s no shortage of them in London and I wouldn’t pay for them either.

So much judgement over ready mixed crumble.
Some people have arthritic hands and can't do things they once could
It's very easy to judge

Nope plenty of blackberries in London. As long as you get there before the WI and their loppers.

Okay, you win at life. Everyone else is terrible 🙄

Obviously you get scratched to buggery which is why blackberries cost £££ to buy but rhubarb makes a good crumble too

Not the list I'd have expected from a Waitrose shopper. Surely they cook from scratch. Clutches pearls

My kind of person

I also used to buy tinned rhubarb to go with the pkt crumble 😮.

Yes. I don't understand why you'd pick up something someone has lost and then post it online to invite people to judge and mock them. It's unpleasant.

It's what I thought too.

Judgement is too strong a word, I don't think anything about this person's character. But I did think "crap cook". And clearly not keen on picking blackberries, although I guess you don't get them everywhere and some places will be picked clean.

Nothing exciting on that list that you would go to Waitrose for...

You don't have to be lazy to buy a pre-made crumble mix or cheese sauce! I wish I'd thought about looking for such things since an accident that left me unable to stir/hold pans etc. One working arm, and that doesn't always co-operate, however much time I have on my hands. I have the burns and a knackered shoulder/wrist due to my various attempts at acting like an able-bodied person. Why should I have to live on microwaved meals alone?

Feet? They were looking to buy Rachel's trifle from Friends.

I don't think it's to judge and mock. People like a nosy at others' lives. It's just idle curiosity, isn't it? Wonder what they are planning with these ingredients, etc.

OP can't be held responsible if others are agast that it's not full of organic spelt to be milled at home for bread. Which is all that my Waitrose list had this week, by the way. Also, clay, to fire my own crumble dish in, of course

Veet?

not my list but I buy crumble mix AND blackberries and I also pick blackberries but guess what I’m too busy to always be able to do this when I need them FFS the idea that people have endless time for things is a judgement

Feet - a treatment for her feet, eg moisturiser, heel cream, etc etc. it’s a pretty normal abbreviation to save writing it out in full and to prompt your memory as soon as you see it.

What makes you assume lazy?

My mother has terrible arthritis in her hands so she uses ready made mash potato. Does that make her lazy?

My friend is a nurse on long days and sometimes only has a short crossover period where she sees her husband before his shift. So she cuts corners like this to save precious time? Lazy? Or extremely hard working and deserves a flipping minute?

The snobbery is just too much!
🙄

I'm not judging anyone for buying blackberries, I'm just way too mean to pay for them myself!
