Has anyone ever bought 3 cucumbers at once?

[T4tomo]

vis a vis various supermarkets imposing limits of 3 items on various bits of salad and fruit.

You cant stock pile salad anyway and who needs 3 cucumbers at once?

(no smutty jokes please)

pasta and bog rolls it is not.

Pretty sure Debbie who lived in an American city might have done according to legend

The problem is that the British public are essentially stupid and if someone tells them there is a shortage, a small but significant percentage will buy cucumbers even though they don’t need them.

She needs a wholesale supplier if she’s running a business.

There were plenty of cucumbers, broccoli & tomatoes in Tesco's Favell this morning. I didn't buy any..

Sainsbury's in New Barnet had plenty in stock this afternoon.
But now the news is saying there are shortages in some stores, the locusts may of descended and cleaned them out.

As a family of four, I think we'd struggle to get through one in a week in summer.

Human behaviour never fails to disappoint.

Yes... When they've been on sticker and I fancied making a few jars of pickle on the cheap

Otherwise cucumber isn't something I buy that much. Specially not in winter when it's too damn cold for salady stuff.

Cucumber is very nice in a stir fry , but to use three you'd need one hell of a wok.

Bit pointless buying two, let alone 3 if you don't normally, they just don't last, force grown and go soft quickly.

I know people who think like that, but I don't get it! I had 4 salads last week and have had 2 so far this week. I would eat very hot food on a blazing hot summer day too!

Now if you were talking about cyclists wearing shorts on freezing days, I would agree with you! (Or the people I have seen riding in winter kit on a blazing hot summer day...)

As for veg restrictions and shortages... I noticed that our local Aldi was out of a lot of things yesterday, including cucumbers. I will be going here again this evening and will see if they have restocked or introduced quotas.

We need to do this more often to get people eating five a day of fruit and veg…
