[Closed] Can anyone tell why my wife has bought the worlds supply of kidney beans?

Home delivery? Did she order 4 thinking it was 4 tins but it was 4 packs of 4?

Pregnancy?

Don't they contain ricin? I'd be worried... 😉

It is for your new fad diet that you didn't know you were going on.

No, they make chilli, then you put the ricin

Eh? Eh?

Mmm, could be a slimming world thing :/

The world cannot have enough kidney beans. Yum.

I did once buy eight apples but it turned out I bought eight bags of apples – maybe she made a similar mistake.

Come round our house, you can have these bastards!

How many tins?

Lots of beans?

if its anything like my house - its because you canget them in aldi - along with tinned tomatos.....

if its not the 2 weeks a year when aldi has heinz soup or beans (because the corale ones are rank rotten) then you can bet your bottom dollar that unless i did the shopping and popped by tesco on the way home..... there will be none of those in the house....

You wouldn't believe the stockpile of dove soap my wife has amassed

The inlaws are the same they have apocalyptic stocks of baked beans, skimmed milk and like Spam stuff

there's probably only about a dozen tins but it's more she's bought more even though the back of the cupboard is already well supplied with them. Ah well, got tin of mushroom from the post office so all is well again.

The evils of Aldi.

MOAB is that a Caravaggio?

At the moment we have a rather large collection of tinned tuna - mainly because it continues to be very cheap (around £2 for a 4 pack) and one of my 6 yr olds loves the stuff.

Eh? Eh?

Bravo!

Possibly, I ordered 2 olives to shorten my brakes hoses just before Xmas, CRC sent me 2 bags of 10 - why couldn't have they sent me 20 bikes or something?!?*

Which I would have returned obviously...

We have almost managed to work our way through the 9L (yes, that's NINE LITRES) of bright yellow American mustard that my other half managed to buy a few (8) years ago. We occasionally use it on BBQ food in the summer.

It was the result of two closely-spaced trips to Costco where, on the second trip, he thought that we'd run out so bought a second multi-pack of 2x2L bottles. I yelled at him because I thought there was no way that we'd ever get through that much mustard, plus it was a colossal waste of money.

The yelling must have made a big impression on him because, the following week, he did a quick trip to the local supermarket and picked up another litre of the stuff. His excuse was that he knew there was something important to remember about American mustard, but he couldn't recall what, so he thought we must have run out and wanted to make sure there was some in the cupboard.

We're down to the last litre now - it's 4 years out of date. He's threatening to go back to Costco...

How can mustard go out of date? What on earth is going to grow in it?

She's having an affair with iDave

I don't know what code word you have for it in your house, so I guess it could be?

In ours it'd be called a little tommy squeaker.

To be fair, it's luminous yellow, so I doubt it will ever go out of date. It tastes the same as the decade we bought it and I'm not throwing it in the bin after it has survived two house moves!

My wife does online ordering and mostly just repeats the order from the week before so we have excess stock of various items then I get shouty and that item is removed from the recurring order This happens for different products at differing times, we currently have piles of baked beans, both liquid and solid soap - BTW I don't get the point of liquid soap....

My OH made me chuck out a perfectly good bottle of siracha sauce, just because it was a couple of years out of date. The fumes can strip paint, what kind of microbes could survive in that?

Is she planning a trip to rural Oregon ?

Is it because North Korea have the hydrogen bomb?

I have twelve tins of chopped tomatoes in case any one is running low

I buy chopped tomatoes from Approved Food by the case – we get through loads of them and they are often on offer for around £1.99 for a case of 12.

Maybe she meant to buy raw kidney beans.

Thankfully cooked kidneys beans will work (but take longer). I hope she enjoys her new life in some far off tropical country.

PS

Ask her if all the life insurance and payments up to date.

We get a bit carried away at CostCo sometimes, I have enough original Mint Source shampoo to keep my family clean for generations to come.
