Do you buy much tinned food?

Surely, it's not so much what we buy as how often.

I have the tins i mentioned 'in stock' but wouldn't buy any of then every week.

Beans - every type I can find
Fish - as above
Tomatoes - Cherry, Plum, whole, chopped and puree
Lentils, chickpeas and creamed coconut for quick curries
Corned Beef and Pate
Sweetcorn, Mushy Peas and broad beans
Pineapple chunks/rings are the only fruit I rarely buy fresh

StripeyGran, some "fresh foods" really aren't that fresh by the time they have been transported, sorted, shelved and sold. Then they often sit in the purchaser's fridge for a while before use.
Tinned goods are usually tinned and sealed very soon after harvesting, retaining more nutritional value until the moment the tin is opened for use. Strange but true.

Tinned tomatoes, tuna and salmon and hot dog sausages but not really anything else

Another bonus with tins is they last years .

I added some tin tomatoes to a curry, two years out of date- fine 👍🏻

Yep all that too. Especially chick peas, I cook a lot with those.

All types of beans, chickpeas, mushy peas, sweetcorn, tomatoes, tuna in spring water, sardines in tomato sauce, M&S tomato soup, fruit (only in juice not syrup).

There are some tins I like to have ‘in stock’ - chickpeas, baked beans and tomatoes - and use all of these regularly.

Tinned pineapple is usually on hand as the retro pineapple and cheese on a cocktail stick is a favourite of all the GCs.

Salmon for fish cakes, sardines for my treat when it’s just me, apricots and pears for emergency puds.
I do have to remember to check the dates from time to time.

I listened to a podcast that pointed out that people buy fresh fruit and vegetables but actually tinned and frozen are fresher. I’m still working through my pandemic tin stockpile.

Sorry Maybee, Am I being dim? How can a preserved product be fresher than a fresh one?

Tomatoes, coconut milk.

I cook beans and lentils, may be cheaper.

Tinned tomatoes,baked beans,assorted mixed beans,sweetcorn,sardines,tuna, soup,mushy peas. Always handy for emergencies.

Not really , baked beans , kidney beans, chickpeas, tomatoes and tuna . I’ve never been a fan of tinned fruit.

Similar to others: beans, lentils, tuna, tomatoes, some fruit.

How often do I open a tin? Once or twice a week, so I am not using a lot of tinned food.

baked beans, tomatoes, soup, sweet corn

Baked beans, chilli beans, tomatoes, tuna, drinking chocolate, coffee, pineapple rings, and coconut milk on occasion when making a favourite soup recipe.
They are heavy to carry so frozen fruit and veg (or fresh) may be favoured by people who don’t drive.

Sardines, kidney beans, baked beans and chopped tomatoes.

baked beans, black beans, tomatoes, fruit,tomato soup,creamed rice.

Yes always stocked up. Beans, tuna tomatoes. Sometimes when I can't be bothered cooking beans on toast does me for dinner.

A reasonable amount.

Some tinned fruit, tuna, sardines, baked beans, tomatoes, coconut milk. DH keeps buying tinned soup although I make soup. Oh, and he buys Ambrosia custard.

Nobody mentioned chopped ham and pork aka Spam a favourite of my dh.

I like to keep a reasonable stock of tinned food, especially during the winter months - usually have things like various types of beans, fish such as tuna, mackerel or sardines, coconut milk and tinned tomatoes.

Baked beans, tomatoes, tuna, mackerel, and sardines. Other things are dried, fresh or frozen.

Not really much at all. Tinned tomatoes, tuna, anchovies, sweet corn and baked beans. Oh and corned beef for DH.
