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.

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

Bread, milk and bog roll

Flour

A friend was here for coffee when my shopping was delivered last week and watched me unpack over 10kg of flour of varying types with this face Confused it wasn’t even a big shop.

Miladamermalada · 07/06/2018 21:49

Milk-4 pints a day and a loaf of bread.

furandchandeliers · 07/06/2018 21:50

Oh yeah eggs, must get though at least a dozen a day, we all love them for breakfast and I do a fair bit of baking too. We've got 6 chickens arriving next week Smile

Vimto Blush

-CLR cleaner (I use it to clean my sea glass) I use a jug a week

-Bleach- I use a gallon a week- again, for the sea glass

-Kitty treats - my cats insist on them, and will wake me during the night if they get a craving. They will paw gently on my cheek, just until the second I open my eyes , and then they jump down and start singing at the foot of my bed.

Fresh ham. 10 slices every other day.
Diet Coke Blush
Chocolate digestives.

UnimaginativeUsername · 07/06/2018 21:54

Lime juice.

expatinscotland · 07/06/2018 21:54

Handwash and soap - DS has autism and likes to wash his hands a lot! Loo roll because he uses it to handle things. And Aveeno colloidal oatmeal lotion because his hands are a mess.

Squash, you look in our pantry and it looks like we're hoarding it.
Nuts, DP will eat packets and packets. Peanuts, Monkey Nuts, Cashews, Pistachios... I think he's part chimp!

Why are people going through so many baby wipes in the home though! You have cloths and a tap, so much cheaper (and better for the environment) to just wipe and rinse i'll go shove my halo up my arse now for being a pretentious twat

NorthEndGal

Your cats look like a before and after advert for frizeeze! They're adorable!

Dionysa · 07/06/2018 21:56

Clean towels. Teenage DD uses every single towel we possess. Then leaves them in various sodden heaps. WTF does any normal person need to use 10 towels for a bath and a shower (arguably one of these is unnecessary) and a hair-wash?

PaintBySticker · 07/06/2018 21:58

Cereal. I don’t even eat it. Husband and two children (but they’re only 7 and 2).

Zoflorabore · 07/06/2018 21:58

Shower gel for ds (15) he usually goes through 2-3 bottles a weekBlush

Fabric conditioner/washing powder
Cans of Diet Coke
Bottles of water ( ds again )
Chicken ( bloody ds )
Toilet roll
Kitchen rolls ( approx 10 per week )
Wax melts and candles
Red milk (28 pints a week, be cheaper to have a cow)
Zoflora of course Grin

ManchesterGin · 07/06/2018 21:58

Honey. It’s ridiculous. I don’t even like it.

Diet Coke - this is completely my fault.

Cordial - I don’t know where it goes.

PaintBySticker · 07/06/2018 21:59

@NorthEndGal - what’s sea glass?

dementedma · 07/06/2018 21:59

a gallon of bleach a week? Bloody hell!
I collect sea glass and just rinse it under the tap. A bottle of bleach lasts about two months here.

Candyflip · 07/06/2018 22:00

Avocados, toilet paper and washing up liquid. I don’t know where that goes as everything goes in the dishwasher.

PaintBySticker · 07/06/2018 22:00

Oh and apples. So many apples. My son leaves the stalks everywhere

eagleflies · 07/06/2018 22:00

EspressoPatronum · 07/06/2018 22:01
