Anyone got one of stuff they do not want to run put of over christmas? I hate busy shops and am trying to lay in stocks where possible. So far I've got:
Nappies wipes bread milk loo roll. Umm, what else is crucial when shops are mayhem.we do have a zombie box but trying to keep this separate.

Milk - we have a 24 hour 7 day a week shop within spitting distance. The only day it's closed is Christmas day and one year we ran out of milk :(

Milk because my Xmas visitors use way, way more than we normally do.
Tonic
Gin

oreocrumbs · 23/10/2012 15:00

I buy loads of those part baked bread buns.

I never know what to do about bread at christmas - leave it out and it goes off before you eat it, no room to freeze it because the freezer is full of nicer things!

So I buy loads of the part baked breads, they have a good month or so on the use by date and you can just put them in the cupboard. Fresh bread when you need it.

Cat litter
Loo roll

And did I say gin? Grin

Lemonylemon · 23/10/2012 15:40

If you don't mind the taste, long life milk is a good one to stock up on.

Jar of sliced lemons.... for that gin!

Sellotape
