What food do you purposely not buy?

[Helpmechooseausername]

Is there a food that you purposely don't buy because if it's in the house you'll scoff the lot?!

For me it's crunchy nut cornflakes. OMG I could eat an entire packet in a day, easy! It's like they call out to me "eat me"!!

So I very rarely buy them. What's yours?

Bread. Specifically warburtons thick toastie bread. I think I could eat a whole lot in one go. I sometimes treat myself to a loaf 😂

But lurpak is the worst of all the butters!!

Crunchy nut cornflakes with double cream instead of milk 😬.....also everything everyone else has mentioned.

They sound gorgeous! Where can I buy some?

Crikey! Isn't it too thick?!

I like mine with ice cold semi skimmed milk, but you have to eat them quickly before they go soggy. So then you have to have a small bowl so you can eat them when they're crunchy. And then because it was only a small bowl, you can have another. And another. And perhaps another....

Reading "Crunchy Nut Cornflakes" so many times suddenly reminded me that I bought a bag of Cadbury Crunchie Rocks a few days ago (cruising the corner shop while hungry after work)...forgot all about them, but have just now found them, ripped open the bag and eaten half in 2 minutes. Thanks for that 😂

Petit Beurre biscuits. It's the sweet, salty, and butter combo. I know if I buy a pack I can eat the whole lot in one go.

Anything sweet but mostly ice cream.😩

Scottish plain loaf toasted with lurpak butter. I would eat the whole loaf!

Crisps! Not because I scoff them, but the kids do

Salt and vinegar McCoys and biscuits of any kind.

Cheese. Any delicious 50% fat cheese.

Unless like tonight I have a project on, in which case I will buy it and drown the calories in red wine till completion.

Sliced white bread. I'll just mainline it as toast oozing with butter.

Jaffa cakes
Original Alpen with cold cold full fat milk

They come round in vans in the north but I don’t think they do the south, 8 send my MIL (in Kent) a hamper twice a year.

And yes, they are gorgeous as are the ginger biscuits and the milk chocolate mallows, and I haven’t just eaten two of those either. No sired I didn’t do that.

Chorizo.
TV, tray, chorizo, paring knife, some dark dark mustard. Don't phone me, I'm busy with this.

I could take or leave chocolate, but I could inhale a family sized bag of dry roasted peanuts.
Also, pringles. I can't have just a few, so I never buy them.

All crisps. When I used to buy them I often had two packets a day. Weirdly, I don't miss them anymore (about 6 months after stopping).

Just about everything mentioned so far, except marmite which I keep forgetting to buy, and good high cocoa chocolate. (and peas😂)

Gold bars. If I buy them, I'm drifting to the cupboard eating them all day till they're gone.

Crisps, biscuits, anything yummy basically! I am restricting myself to one ‘fun size’ chocolate (from my Halloween stash) a day. And avoiding Lidl (bakery section right up front).

Fortunately considered seasonal, but After Eights. They are only wafer thin, so it’s easy to eat loads!

Cinnamon buns. Especially the new ones on special offer in Waitrose at the moment.
I add them to my online order, take them off, add them again...

The Co-op extra special salt and vinegar crisps. Sharing bag, my arse!!

Also, when the mood takes me I will happily settle myself on the settee with a tin of condensed milk and a teaspoon. Heaven!

Biscuits!

Me either…if they are there I’ll eat them. My son has been known to eat full packets of anything we buy in just 1-2 days too 🫣 I have zero clue how he stays so thin
