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..

lol roll
Kitchen roll
Ice cubes - all year round I’m addicted to them despite taking iron supplements
Milk

BlooBagoo · 07/06/2018 20:59

Bread and breakfast cereal. Neither of which I tend to eat and no-one tells me when they finish them so I'll usually find out in the morning when they're moaning that there's nothing for breakfast. Hmm

We also seem to have a ghost in the house who finishes food, then puts the empty packet or box back in the cupboard or fridge since no-one takes the blame for that constantly happening.

CatLadyToddlerMother · 07/06/2018 20:59

Baby wipes. There's only me, DD (aged 2.11) and the cat but I get through a pack a week. That's 64 wipes or 9 wipes a day on average Shock

GeekyWombat · 07/06/2018 21:01

Milk and blueberries.

I dread to think how much I've spent on out of season blueberries since DD started weaning four years ago :S

Cellardoor23 · 07/06/2018 21:02

I was just thinking about this today. I swear we must have used an entire loo roll today and I think it's mainly by me Blush

Kitchen roll
Nappies
Body wash - I go through a lot more than my dp, but he doesn't wash any less than me.
Shampoo
Anti-bac spray
Fruit in general.

bushtailadventures · 07/06/2018 21:03

Milk, we get through 6, 6 pint cartons a week, also UHT milk, 10 litres a week (in the yoghurt maker)

Cheese, some days it's all toddler dgd will eat.

Used to be bread, but I'm not allowed it now so our consumption has gone down a lot.

Should add, there are 5 adults here, plus dgd, so it's probably not that bad really, or thats what I tell myself.

Cellardoor23 · 07/06/2018 21:04

GeekyWombat My DS is the same with blueberries. He would eat an entire packet in one go if I'd let him.

ohtheholidays · 07/06/2018 21:04

Loo roll,there's 7 of us and we go through at least 2 a day.
Washing powder,the machine is on every day.
Milk,we go through at least 3-4 pints a day.
Fresh fruit and vegetables,we have 3 fruit bowls and they need refilling every second day.

Semster · 07/06/2018 21:04

It is a little indecent how fast we get through Galaxy bars.

MrsKoala · 07/06/2018 21:05

Sausages and bread. We go thru a loaf and 5-6 sausages per day. I am always at the shop buying more fucking sausages and bread.

Toasting waffles, crumpets and scotch pancakes. Just an inordinate amount of dry bready crap really.

Eggs - we eat between 4 and 9 a day

Also Lurpak.

Keepingupwiththejonesys · 07/06/2018 21:16

Crackers don't last long here, I have about 2 a week so its not me but the DC and dh eat lots. If I ever buy things like brioche, croissants etc they don't last more than a few days. Smoothies don't last the week either

LeighaJ · 07/06/2018 21:20
