Whats NEVER on your list?

When you do a food shop, what food(s) would never ever make it to your trolley?

I have never and will never buy bell peppers, just the smell makes me heave and they have no place in any of my dinners. Pineapple too.

Things i automatically pick up without having to think.. olives, spinach and red leicester cheese.

Avocado
Mushrooms
Chinese food
Shellfish 🤢🤢🤢

If it was just me I had to shop for the things that would never be on my list are:

Milk
Butter
Bread
Teabags/Tea
Fish and any other Seafood
Microwave Meals
Spaghetti

There's only adult DD and me here, and we only buy the things we like anyway, but the items above would never make it into my trolley!

Processed "meat" vegan products
Spirits
Anything fat-free

Mushrooms!

I think I've bought them for my boyfriend twice in the past 8 years and even then they aren't allowed in the trolly, he has to carry them.

Celery - crunchy, piss-flavoured water with hair in it.
Coriander - tastes of soap.

N*stle products. Boycut them for 24 years and don't plan on stopping.

I will eat most foods and those I'm not keen on dh or adult children will eat so really not got anything else that "never" goes into the trolley.

RomeoMcFlourish · 14/05/2024 12:30

Same, it's one of the worst cheeses.

The worst apple is golden delicious, you'll never find those in my trolley.

Blackcountryexile · 14/05/2024 12:38

Jam, ready made sauces,margarine

Watchkeys · 14/05/2024 12:39

'Coriander slander' :) Love it!

MotherWol · 14/05/2024 12:39

Fruit juice - spikes my blood sugar
Ready meals
Shellfish/seafood - I actually really like it, but rarely cook it at home

Our weekly staples are veg, meat/tofu, coffee, peanut butter and AF beer.

Pascha · 14/05/2024 12:39

Bananas
Yoghurt
Lamb
Pork except sausages
Cous cous

I'll consider almost anything else.

truthbombtime · 14/05/2024 12:39

Any sort of fish

loropianalover · 14/05/2024 12:40

Fish (I like it but hate cooking it at home due to the smell it leaves)
Sweet potato

lovemycbf · 14/05/2024 12:40

Any seafood I just can't stand the look of it 🤢

Justcallmebebes · 14/05/2024 12:42

Offal, anything ultra processed, chocolate, sweets, pastries, cakes etc

jlox · 14/05/2024 12:43

Out of interest, what cheeses are you all buying since red leicester is waxy crap?😭 id like to add a red apple and whisky to my list of never have / never will buy.

That really made me laugh about celery - very accurate description! But it does make bolognese/stews/pies/soups etc much nicer.

Prepared sauces (apart from pesto) and ready meals are the ones I'd exclude.

And Wensleydale. Horrible, dry stuff.
