Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Just been foraging in the cupboard. Found three packets of golden vegetable rice, one of which I know was bought last week.

(Tea ended up as a bit past BBE veggie burgers (from dry mix) and also past BBE microwave rice. Just the ditto falafel mix to use then. And some dates.)

During lockdown I started buying or trying to buy a replacement as soon as I started the last of something

I think this is why I have multiples

I had 3 unopened tubes of tomato paste at one point

Ness
For Mr Ness, recently it's been tinned salmon. He noticed in Asda, there was a pricing anomaly. The big tin of red salmon that they stock was cheaper than a small tin so he picked up 3 tins, thinking some store manager will spot that and put the price up soon. The next week, the price hadn't changed so he did the same again. Another 3 tins in the trolley. At which point I spotted all the tins in the cupboard. Why? I asked. Because I forgot I'd bought them the week before, he said! 🤣

I tend to forget that we're a household of two old people, not a household of two middle aged endurance athletes and a load of unfillable teenagers.

We've just moved into the unfillable teenage boy stage and there is NEVER enough food in the house. Or rather, never enough snacks.

Child 2 and Mr IM will only eat Waitrose wholenut peanut butter (FFS) but it's the only thing I ever buy from Waitrose so I go in and clear them out of the green-top peanut butter every 3 months or so and then put it out of my head - because we have an entire cupboard full of it - and nobody ever thinks to tell me when they open the last jar.

Jars of Hellman's mayonnaise - I opened one of three this weekend.
Green scouring pads - that got to the stage where I had to write a Do Not Buy list :-0
In lockdown 1 I tidied up my tinned foods cupboard. 24 tins of tuna in various iterations. We're a household of two, and OH is not keen on tuna anyway.

I have three jars apiece of sushi ginger and pickled lemons but I keep forgetting to buy caraway seeds and lemongrass paste. Which all sounds very Overheard In Waitrose but they're just flavourings for carbohydrate.
