Baby wipes
Kitchen roll
Hand soap
Milk
Zoflora Grin

longhouselisa · 07/06/2018 20:17

Shower gel. We switched to soap because it is harder to 'pour' too much at one time. Flipping expensive way of washing.

walkingwithmyeyeswideshut · 07/06/2018 20:17

Ah yeah zoflora here too

Seem to get through a ton of peanut butter considering only 2 of us eat it

Socks.

I know that every talks about odd sock fairies or goblins in the washing machine that eat them etc. But honestly. I discover every other month that I mysteriously have NO socks. And EVERY month I have to buy DD another 5pack. I honestly don't understand where they go. Every time we move furniture I expect to find a bunch of odds hiding there but I never do. Where do they go? I've had to stop myself thinking about it because it drive me insane.

Reeganboi · 07/06/2018 20:19

Babywipes and toilet roll - also surprisingly cheese!Confused

Dermymc · 07/06/2018 20:20

What do you all do with toilet rolls, a pack of 16 lasts 3 months here!

Otoh we get through an exponential amount of sweet potato and milk.

elQuintoConyo · 07/06/2018 20:20

A4 paper, 6yo loves drawing/writing.
Porridge, we all eat it.
Apples.

thenightsky · 07/06/2018 20:20

Milk. And I only have a dribble in my two cups of tea a day. I regularly open the fridge to find the 6 pinter I bought yesterday is more than half gone. I swear DH is raising veal calves in his shed Hmm

Pebblespony · 07/06/2018 20:21

Descaler. We have our own well and the water is extremely hard. Kettles etc have to be done at least every week.

BlueTrousers · 07/06/2018 20:23

Apples
About 4 bags a week, the 2 boys in the house eat them like they’re going out of fashion
And cereal bars Confused

gimmeShelterr · 07/06/2018 20:23

Toilet roll, diluting juice and crisps.

elQuintoConyo · 07/06/2018 20:23

Also teaspoons, but i think they get binned with the yoghurt pots.

It kinda balances out with when ds was a pickle, we'd be in a cafe or restaurant and he'd pick up a spoon or two to fiddle with. We'd find them later at home rattling around the pushchair Grin

None of our teaspoons match!

HmmGrey · 07/06/2018 20:26

Kitchen roll and chocolate

GrowThroughWhatYouGoThrough · 07/06/2018 20:27

Milk I swear when I had my first child I should have bought a cow!

CountFosco · 07/06/2018 20:27

Apples, grapes, pasta, dried fruit, peanut butter, honey. We don't even have teenagers yet!

Idontbelieveinthemoon · 07/06/2018 20:27

Printer paper

Kitchen roll

Biscuits

agentdaisy · 07/06/2018 20:28

There's 6 of us so we go through loads of everything but there are some things that we use loads of.

Toilet roll, we got through 16-20 a week. I'm sure ds2 eats it.

We go through a ridiculous amount of ketchup, a full 900ml bottle a week, and at least 2 x 1.5 litre bottle of double strength squash a week.

LtGreggs · 07/06/2018 20:29

Apples and croissants. I don't mind the apples.

Croissants have some kind of special law of physics - however many you buy, of whatever quality, they are eaten in a day. Especially if you were hoping to have one for breakfast tomorrow.

ragged · 07/06/2018 20:30

Teenage DD. Toilet roll. (sigh) Just say no more. + strange smellies, anti-acne treatments, moisturiser, shampoo, conditioner -- all DD.

Milk can be 4 pints a day. Porridge consumption is prodigious, too.

HyacinthsBucket70 · 07/06/2018 20:31

Toilet roll. Mayo. Salad stuff (DDs take for lunches). Spreadable butter. Milk. I swear someone bathes in it Hmm

HeyMicky · 07/06/2018 20:32

Grated cheese
Olive oil
Squeezy garlic

boringbertha · 07/06/2018 20:32

I came here to say Bog Roll but I see I am far from alone in this! I think my kids eat it.

MumofBoysx2 · 07/06/2018 20:33

Washing machine and Dishwasher (both at least twice a day), milk (5 pints a day), kitchen roll, bleach!
