I can't bring myself to not flush the loo (to water save) if its yellow (iyswim). It must be flushed after use.

I have a water butt and a bucket of water is just as efficient at flushing the loo and is 'free'. Also used to water the garden and pots.

I can't pluck things. We get a fair few free birds from my parents and I can't bear the sensation of pulling the feathers out. Husband likes to pluck as long as I do the cooking afterwards

I would never ever buy cheap meat. I will only buy it from the more expensive supermarket ranges and preferably from a local farm. I don't even eat meat but buy it sometimes for my suffering boyfriend! Def. rather ve veggie than buy meat from mistreated animals

I can't stand using vinegar to clean with. The smell does linger and it stinks!

i cann't and will not ever boil up bones and carcus to make stock. EEewwww the jelly gunk just turns my tummy and as for bones. don't get me started.

i have only in last coupe of years been able to cook a whole chicken and not use just the breast's. i can now take all meat off. but i leave it at that. i really struggle with anything on a bone. no idea why, but i just can't do it.

I can't abide supermarket eggs ,I have to buy decent free range eggs or not at all.I tried once with some from tesco's and they were awful,the yolks were pale lemom and disgusting to look at, and tasted even worse.My local butcher sells gorgeous eggs at £2.20 a doz and they are big,usually brown and have a deep orange yolk ,brilliant for 'chooky eggs and soldiers' for both my DGS's and myself

Another offal rejecter here ...:o

I won't buy reduced price meat that has started to turn colour. I know it doesn't show when it's cooked, but..... _pale_

And porridge - no matter how it's cooked the texture alone makes me heave.

Polyester clothing - no doubt it's [STRIKE]cheap[/STRIKE] good value & easy to wash, but it feels dreadful & is sweaty. Natural fibres please!

DH grew up having to wear the same pants & socks two days running :eek: MiL has odd ideas about being 'thrifty' (her words, not mine, I called it something far more to the point ). Now it's clean on every day & I don't care that it 'doubles the washing'!

OMG I could not wear knickers two days running :eek: I would sooner wear none
