Marmite.

250 g jar every 10 days or so. We're all obsessed.

Conditioner - me and two DDs. We must get through a bottle a week. Two of us have very long, very thick hair.

Did someone say 16 loo rolls in 3 months?! Wow!

My additions (alongside said loo roll) are coffee (Nescafé Azera) and razor blades.

And why, whhhhhhhhhhhy are they both so fucking expensive?!! I stockpile Azera when it's on offer- I'm sooooo not ready for the zombie apocalypse- and fume quietly to myself whenever I buy blades.

They are sister cats, from the same litter, one is long hair and one short hair, but otherwise identical

Clarebobacus · 07/06/2018 22:04

Yup, we are hit by the sock munching machine every load, I swear that there is a black sock hole built in

Thingywhatsit · 07/06/2018 22:05

Milk - it's bonkers how much we get through. On average we go through 4 litres a day 😮😮😮😮. It's my biggest outlay I think from my weekly budget!!!!

bimbobaggins · 07/06/2018 22:05

Mine are loo roll, milk and chocolate

SilentBob · 07/06/2018 22:05

I can't use zoflora because it gave my cats throat infections! They lost their voices and it was hilarious (for me, probably not so much for them! Fear not, I took them to the vet and all was sorted with no lasting effects!) I do like the smell of some of them though!

Amyerda · 07/06/2018 22:06

Bog roll, diluting juice, wine

OohMavis · 07/06/2018 22:08

Food in general. My kids are 18mo, 4 and 8 and they're like sentient black holes. All healthy stuff (and they're healthy weights!), but SO MUCH OF IT. Mainly fruit. I buy fruit every day. Good lord it's expensive.

Sea glass is glass (from old dumps at Sea, from shipwrecks, and such) that gets broken and tumbled over time.
The waves wash it back and forth and eventually the sharp sharp pieces become smooth and frosted.
They can be used for jewellery or crafts

Milk and fizzy water. Oh and beer. No beer is safe in this house.

Gin Blush Wink

(Someone had to say it!)

Cakecrumbsinmybra · 07/06/2018 22:15

Was wondering when someone would mention gin! DH has stopped drinking so I rarely open wine now, have G&T instead. Still seems to go quite quickly though 😳

Other than that:
Honey
Baked beans
Bagels etc
Large bags of crisps at the weekend

fitbitbore · 07/06/2018 22:15

Weetabix
Cornflakes
Cordial
Milk
Corona 😃

Cakecrumbsinmybra · 07/06/2018 22:15

northendgal I like your cats and your beach glass art!

expatinscotland · 07/06/2018 22:16

'I collect sea glass and just rinse it under the tap. A bottle of bleach lasts about two months here.'

I collect it, too, but I wash it in hot, soapy water with a bit of lavender oil.

DollyDayScream · 07/06/2018 22:18

Apples
Squash
Zoflora
Fig rolls

Sophisticatedsarcasm · 07/06/2018 22:18

Toilet rolls
Eggs
Milk
Cheese and bacon 🥓😊

Aridane · 07/06/2018 22:19

Wine
Cat litter (80 litres Catsan a month)
Salad cream, Mayo, Ketchup and Sweet Chilli sauce. DH has them with practically all meals (I don’t). Am forever buying it.
Bottled water (but we are stopping that shortly and going back to filtered to reduce plastic waste).
German salami and sliced Emmental. We seem to live on it!

Petalflowers · 07/06/2018 22:25

Kitchen roll
shreddies (or supermarket own equivalent)

My mum used to organise Brownie pack holidays, and used to cater one toilet roll per person per week, so for a family of four, you would use four toilet rolls per week.

Therefore, a packet of sixteen should last the average family of four a month.

clatteringhooves · 07/06/2018 22:25

wine
mayonnaise
coffee
although all three of those may be down to me Blush

MumofBoysx2 · 07/06/2018 22:26

How can a bottle of bleach last two months?? We go through a few bottles a week, sometimes more than one a day.
