What might I have forgotten on my Christmas food shop list?

[confusedlots]

Completely drowning in present buying, wrapping, house cleaning and preparing to host family on Christmas Day. Managed to do a good chunk of the big food shop today and am making a list for my early morning dash around the shops on Monday morning to get the remaining stuff. I can't even think straight so I'm sure I'll have forgotten something that is key to the day! What could it be?

But don't worry too much, I have wine, I made sure I stocked up on that today 🤣🤣

Still got to get salad bits
Mixers like diet coke,lemonade
Stuffing

Breakfast stuff like Croissants
Part baked rolls
Butter

Water and sink unblocker!

If you're anything like me - Imodium 🙄

STs/Tampons

Got blinis in Tesco today, they are by the prawns and smoked salmon if you are looking for them.

They're all in my bottom cupboard

Ɓacon
Cranburry sauce

B&M!! I got ours there along with after eights

Sage, onions, cloves. Bread to make into breadcrumbs for stuffing and bread sauce.
Crackers for cheese (and lots of cheese,)
Sherry for gravy
Brandy to set light to

Couple of selection boxes in case you have last minute kids to buy for

Cash for gifting purposes & in case there's a banking blip over Xmas & contactless payments aren't accepted

Check your car tyres, oil & top up with petrol

Bin bags

Spare wrapping paper, gift bags & sellotape

Food bags/foil/grease proof paper

Gin
Vodka
Beer
Every colour of wine
Baileys
Rum
Cider
All the cheese

Pet food
Cat litter
Paracetamols
Prescription meds - get your request in by early Monday and they might just have it done for you and with the pharmacist before closing time on Tuesday
Radio Times/TV listings magazines (assuming you still get them and don't look programme times up on the apps)
Toilet rolls
Firelighter in case the ignition on your gas hob or oven goes kaput
Baby supplies

We have just noted what we need to get. DS1 has volunteered to brave the supermarket again tomorrow.

Apples
Fresh basil (for bruschetta)
Celery (for cheese board and crudités)
Bread (for bruschetta)
Cocktail sausages
Posh chicken stock
Whole grain mustard (for the cocktail sausages, along with honey which we do have)

Reading through for similar reasons as OP...fresh herbs for beef!!

Thank you!

Don’t forget the four horsemen of the Xmas apocalypse: loo roll, bin bags, washing up liquid, extra milk. It’s always the boring things that get overlooked.

Tea bags
Nice beverages for those that dont drink alcohol
Extra washing up liquid
Potatoes
Bubblebath for you, when its all over!

Are there any drinks, condiments or anything which particular visitors "have" to have?
What are you cooking things in? Do you need any of those disposable foil trays?

Yes, I have the delivery saver thing and got a slot fairly easily. I’ll do a top up anyway at a different store for different stuff!

We tend to forget what goes with things so if we have honey carrots sure we would have plenty of carrots but no honey type things

B&M is your friend.

This answer can be used for just about anything.

Melon and other fruit
Pate
Desserts
Bread rolls for turkey rolls on Boxing day
Buffet food
Biscotti

Dinner candles

I spent £400 today and forgot stuffing and bacon to go on the turkey.

As long as you have pigs in blankets then Xmas is saved.
