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.)

Same, and I’m sure it’s more than 4 of each Blush

Also instant coffee, only DH drinks it, when at home he can clear a standard jar in 2 days, to be honest he doesn’t fare much better when doing 60+ Hour weeks

Just googled zoflora, I've never heard of it!

It’s vile stuff, smells cheap.

Eggs 😐 Two adults and two preschoolers, but we can blast through 30 a week with the ease. I've suggested hens but husband has vetoed the idea.

BerylStreep · 07/06/2018 23:59

Cheese (DD) loads of it
Cream (me) loads of it
Apples (DH)
Light olive oil (for home made mayo)
Cherry tomatoes (everyone)

@Scotinoz we go through 70 eggs a week. We have them for breakfast (4dcs, 2 adults) plus I make 2 quiches twice a week plus baking.

We go through crazy amounts of kitchen rolls and babybels. About 50 a week. My preschooler would love on nothing but babybels if I let himS

70 eggs is impressive! You're right though, baking wipes them out quickly.

I have a Babybel fan but she's strictly rationed on a cost basis. Bloody ludicrous price for tasteless cheese 😡

Wine

We are both what is politely called ‘wine enthusiasts’. Problem is, our enthusiasm knows no bounds....

Peachydream · 08/06/2018 00:13

Kitchen roll
Rice
Mushrooms (DP eats them raw)
Jam

Only 2 of us so shouldn't be a mystery, but seriously a jar of jam a week, I don't even eat it!

VanellopeVonSchweetz99 · 08/06/2018 00:14

1 roll a day does not sound bad for a family. I lived in a shared house with an annoying person who would go through more than 1 a day and rarely buy it

RockinHippy · 08/06/2018 00:57

Hair Conditioner. I know DD has nearly waist length hair, but I'm beginning to think she eats the bloody stuffConfused She can go through a bottle in 3 washes & she washes her hair every second day😣

TuTru · 08/06/2018 01:08

Milk 4 pints per day or more!

Jazzy11 · 08/06/2018 01:38

Wine .... I just don't know where it goes Hmm

halfwitpicker · 08/06/2018 02:03

Eggs. I have two per day, so that's 14, and DD has one per day, 7, so that's 21 eggs per week. Sometimes I do 5/6 hard boiled eggs to eat during the week too. Eggs-trordianary Grin

Toilet roll/kitchen roll/any kind of tissue
Bread
Apples
Frubes
Plain printing paper
Ice lollies (I bought a 20 pack cheapo Mr Freeze to test because they finish 8/10 packs in a day. They finished the Mr Freeze in a day too 😒)

mathanxiety · 08/06/2018 02:30

Socks here too.
Where. Are. They. All...

And fizzy water, though I know who the culprit is on this one - Blush

Aus84 · 08/06/2018 03:57

Milk. About 3 litres a day. And because we buy lactose free stuff it really adds up over the week.

user546425732 · 08/06/2018 05:06

Socks, clothes pegs and underwear.

MrsDilber · 08/06/2018 05:21
