Mark Albrighton Posted August 8, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2019 Yeah ketchup lives in the fridge. Chocolate too, if there’s any. I dilute squash and keep that refrigerated too, much prefer it chilled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I've never heard of people putting sauces in the fridge, I don't like them to begin with, but can imagine them tasting even worse if you were to pour them chilled on hot food. Same with marmalade and jam. Not so long back people didn't have refrigerators so just had to get on with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Refrigerators are for foods that need refrigerating. You wouldn't take Insulin for reasons other than it's intended use. Besides who said anything about anyone refusing to use a fridge, some people might not be able to afford one, so have to rely on fresh produce every day.

useless Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Well I don't like Ketchup, or anything like it, it's safer to not eat it, than it cacao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted August 8, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2019 Yeah this conversation has resulted in me looking at the storage directions on condiments, jams, etc. All say keep refrigerated once opened. Probably not necessary, but I don’t think it’s incorrect to store them in the fridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) I know that this isn't boring, but I was actually thinking the other day that surely they can invent milk bottles or whatever that after you've opened them, can be resealed as if they were never opened in the first place. I guess it's a form of planned obsolescence, and they want you to have to keep buying stuff before it goes bad.

Mandy Lifeboats Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Always keep Stilton in the fridge. It might get mouldy if you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Decided to flog my CD collection rather than shift it to Germany, got just over a thousand, can't be bothered with ebay I haven't got the time, I've got maybe a half day slot in September to do it Currently formatting an excel spreadsheet where I'm searching through my Spotify and my memory to list out what I've got, then having to use HMV or discogs for the barcode then putting that in to ziffit, music magpie and momox to see who gives me the best price (and the range can be mental) Its a grind... Can't imagine the sorting scanning and boxing of them to be much fun either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) I don't want to sell it, but I've got a 12 cd boxset, and had a look on music magpie to see how much they'd pay for it out of curiosity, and they quoted me 24p. At the moment the cheapest copy on discogs is £140. Edited August 10, 2019 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've done so far I would say ziffit are the best, momox if they want something can offer a lot more, music magpie are shit prices but they take everything I've priced 147 of them music magpie are £10 off ziffit, if I'm clever and split it across the 3 websites I can get £30 more than sending them all to ziffit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
