Apples, deffo. (Hmmm, if so many people are eating larger-than-usual amounts of apples, are those amounts really larger than usual?)
“Balsamic” vinegar.
Canned artichoke hearts. Love them things.
Honey. Local raw honey. Two pots of tea per day, with a tablespoon of honey per pot, makes the honey disappear surprisingly fast.
I bet anybody’s choice of routine everyday meal item—like, if you have a can of tuna, or a can of tomato soup, for lunch almost every day, just because that’s your default lunch choice—will end up having an above-average consumption level, based on consumption patterns for that item in the general population.
Rolled oats. I eat a double-serving for breakfast 6 days a week. Occasionally I make three servings when my wife wants some for breakfast. Been eating oatmeal for breakfast for decades now. From recent news, I see that I am probably infertile but at this point in my life, that’s a good thing.
Hard to know what the “usual” amount is of mixed nuts, but we buy them at Costco every time we go. That’s a Costco-size container about once a month for me, basically, as I’m the only one who eats them. (Mixed with raisins and pumpkin seeds, they are my go-to weekday breakfast or lunch.)
Paper towels. My wife uses them as napkins for our family meals, and the cats puke a lot. My 14 yo daughter is on barf duty and she uses like 5 sheets for each pile.
Avocados, And possibly flower and sugar as I do all my own cooking and baking. I seldom go out and nothing I buys is prepared. I go through a dozen avocados a week.
A truly obscene amount of baby carrots. It’s a little embarrassing at the grocery store, not gonna lie. Three or four 48 oz. bags every time we go. And that doesn’t include the frozen carrots I like for cooking and the carrot chips for salad and the matchstick carrots for the birds. . . Just today we did a big shop and carrots were not on the list. I couldn’t bring myself to walk past, and picked up one 48 oz bag just in case.
It used to be yogurt. And three of us had different favorite brands. So pulling up the grocery cart and setting them all on the counter was quite the spectacle. We’re talking a dozen each of three different brands. People stared, and one lady even started asking me questions like I was some sort of yogurt expert. Maybe I am by now, I dunno; I was able to answer all of her questions.
Gotta ask, are the blue vases and power tool consumption somehow related? Do you blow through drill motors making holes for lamp cords in the vases or something?
For me it is olive oil. Five liter bottles last about three weeks.
And artichokes, in season. Just love them. I also preserve a lot of them myself (confit in olive oil, of course).
Beer, probably. And whisky.
I see a nice recipe if you add some coconut milk, thai curry and make a side of basmati rice. More vegetables, and fish or duck or chicken would work too, I believe.
Special doggie ice cream. The dogs get a treat almost every night. I nuke it so it’s not rock hard.
I do most of the cooking, and thought working from home I would cook more. Not true. I don’t drive by the grocery store twice a day. Now I have to make a special trip. And it’s a 30 minute drive each way. It’s a bit of a problem because I’m away on at least half of the weekends taking care of a death in the family. So when home, I have other things to take care of.
That reminds me. My wife buys a huge amount of fresh cut flowers. I don’t know how to quantify it, but we always have fresh flowers in at least three locations. All year.
I buy big bags of them. I make the cat and dog treats from them. The grocery store guy has to go back and get me a bag when we buy them. I’m not sure how many lbs. But it costs $21.
It turns out to be a small amount of trouble to produce but way way cheaper than commercial cat and dog treats. And I control the salt and sugar.
(None and none)
I used to make jerky for the dogs. But that has gotten too pricey and a bunch more time consuming to do.
