From the pantry - teabags, coffee, rice, pasta, tinned tomatoes, tomato purée, any other tinned goods (partial to a beans on toast here, or a Heinz broth), stock cubes, dilutable drinks, flour, condiments.
Dog and cat food, treats and Dreamies from their pantry of course)

I don’t include shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the monthly shopping. We use separate budget for those.

I include washing powder/dishwasher tablets/cleaning products/toilet roll/kitchen roll and bin bags.

We don’t do a monthly shop and would buy all those types of things as and when required. So when running low or if we are ran out.

We barely do a weekly shop these days other than essentials for lunches. Everything else is as and when and it really helps us reduce food waste and save a bit more money. Luckily live 2 minute drive from supermarket

I don’t do a monthly shop per se, but do shop for cleaning products / toiletries when on offer, which in fairness is a lot of the time . Plus dog food ( raw fed so 2 freezers ) usually do a bulk order every 3 months .
