Ours is loo roll.
Omg. We go through one a day! I swear dp and ds eat it lol
Bearing in mind dp at work till six. DS at school till 3. I'm generally out most days with family and friends with the baby or groups.
I know certainly I don't use loads lol

The other thing washing powder! That's down to me tho and my excessive need to wash everything all the time..

Milk. I buy 16 pints for the week for 2 adults and 2 Preschool DC and we run out before weekly shop day. Seems a lot, I can't bring myself to buy 20 pints Confused

LtGreggs · 07/06/2018 20:33

Oh I forgot about the salad stuff. DS ate 2 red peppers and most of a cucumber this evening, absentmindedly while doing his homework. I guess this will balance the croissant consumption.

Rice cakes.

LtGreggs · 07/06/2018 20:35

Seamus go for it - we're a 20 pint household, or 24 pints in a big week 😁

BoogleMcGroogle · 07/06/2018 20:35

Literally all of the above. And printer ink. And shrubs, as we have a very high annual death toll ( opposite of green fingers here).

The sandwich toaster.

Laundry stuff. (I’m obsessed with clean clothes. So most washes I use Ace laundry bleach, detergent and softener. I have at least 4 different types of each thing as I like certain products for certain items of laundry.)

Zoflora - nuff said.

Method - for cleaning stuff I don’t use zoflora on.

Wax melts - nice smells.

I’m sure you can see a theme.....

Icklepickle101 · 07/06/2018 20:37

Bourbons and squash Grin

puglife15 · 07/06/2018 20:39

Bananas. Can't buy enough of the fuckers. And milk too, we buy expensive non dairy milk and spent about £30 a week on it.

Youvealwaysbeenthecaretaker · 07/06/2018 20:39

Another one for milk and bog roll. Yeah and definitely socks. Like a pp, I've found once lost they rarely reappear. So where are they all. Pairs and pairs just gone, every year. It makes me nervous.

Gas and electric! My utilities bill horrifies me (£250 per month)

That's fucked up. Your clothes must reek (of product, I mean).

furandchandeliers · 07/06/2018 20:42

Toilet roll, we get through 16 a week too, 7 kids me and Dh.

Peanut butter and jam, bread and milk, and washing powder and zoflora!

Lovemusic33 · 07/06/2018 20:42

Ketchup
Shower gel
Cheese

fruityb · 07/06/2018 20:43

How do 16 rolls last three months?? I got through more than that when I lived on my own! Do you use both sides??

Washing up liquid here. Seems to go so bloody quick. So happy we’re moving to a house with a dishwasher!

Uniquack · 07/06/2018 20:45

I agree on the loo roll! It's only me and DTDs. It's not me using to much - I honestly think the DC think it grows on trees.

Also, peanut butter, spinach, radishes, tomatoes (my DC love veg), and of course fruit. I have to refill the fruit bowl a number of times a week.

Uniquack · 07/06/2018 20:46

Oh yes, and cheese - we all love cheese just a bit too much Grin.

Sevendown · 07/06/2018 20:47

Bananas our record was 48 in one week!

iamyourequal · 07/06/2018 20:48

Crisps, Nutella, bottled beer (em, perhaps time to get healthier), strawberries and bubble bath..

Oddcat · 07/06/2018 20:50

Milk, I live alone ( well DD should live here but she's gone awol -sigh) I get through about 8pints a week. Marmalade , I love marmalade , and honey .

SoftSheen · 07/06/2018 20:50

Milk and fruit- especially berries.

champagneplanet · 07/06/2018 20:52

Milk, more blue top than green top. DH drinks it by the pint.

Bananas, I don't seem to be able to buy enough either, there's never a brown banana in this house!

Yoghurts, kids ones, adult ones, don't know where they go...

Missm00 · 07/06/2018 20:55

Handsoap
Loo roll
Socks

Whilst I am glad that both my dc have mastered washing their hands (ages 4&5) I often wish that they learn to be less enthusiastic with the soap..

littlepooch · 07/06/2018 20:58

Milk
Kitchen roll
Toilet paper
Fabric softener.

I feel like no matter how carefully i try not to waste these i always need to but more.

And fruit. Omg my kids eat fruit like its going out of fashion. Particularly strawberries and raspberrries. And those little fromage frais pots.

UpstartCrow · 07/06/2018 20:58

Teaspoons. No one uses them to eat yogurt so they don't end up in the bin.
