A cooker. Takes up more space than my microwave, bread maker, steamer, toaster and slow cooker, all of which I do use, and uses more elecricity than if I ran all the others at the same time! The only use I have for it is storing baking/cake/loaf tins...:D0

No1 and No3 are actually factually Wrong.
1-Spices tend to be ground and if so, they last only a short period of time before they lose their Umph! Unless you buy whole spices and a spice grinder (coffee grinder) then a soice mix can be cheaper than buying 5 bottles of different spices that will lose their flavor before you use them.
3-Frozen vegetables are actually higher in quality and vitamins than many fresh veggies as they have been processed and frozen w/in hours form harbest whereas some 'fresh' veg can be weeks (or on the case of carrots etc) months old. I still buy fresh veg mostly, apart from peas which unless fresh out of the garden taste like cardboard.
The only time I ever buy bottled water is when being forced to in aiports as you can't bring your own anymore. Then I re use that bottle for weeks afterwards.0 -

The dirt on potatoes helps them to 'keep' longer.I suppose the same applies to carrots.
I prefer organic,as they are free of pesticides.0 -
