All kinds of beans, chickpeas, tomatoes, sardines, tuna, anchovies.

Butter beans, haricot beans, tomatoes, soup ( standby), mushy peas.

I know this isn't the question but frozen mixed fruit is very nice and cheap too.

No not really. Tinned tomatoes for cooking and baked beans.

Baked beans, black beans, prunes, pears, pilchards, evaporated milk, mamade (to make marmalade).

Also have tins of tuna and tomatoes, but not bought these for ages.

Baked beans, sweetcorn, butter beans and red kidney beans. I am vegetarian and I don't like tinned fruit so that's about it.

Beans of all kinds, marrow fat peas, tuna, sweetcorn, soups, tomatoes, sardines. I also have a penchant for tinned sliced peaches, though I eat mainly fresh fruit this is something I loved as a child, tinned peaches with evaporated milk or custard.

Lots of tinned fruit. Condensed chicken soup. Tomatoes. Tuna. Pilchards if I can find them.

I was reading an online article earlier that said tinned food has fallen out of favour nowadays compared to years back.

I still buy a fair bit, even though I buy a lot of fresh food too.

Tinned tomatoes, canned tuna and mackerel, baked beans, canned mushy peas and tinned fruit for example.

What about you?
