Food delivery tomorrow, I have the main bits (I think!) but what am I forgetting?! Trying to think what we will need to best enjoy leftovers on Boxing Day too…

Bread. I completely forgot to order any last year (we all had Covid) and it wasn't fun when everyone wanted cold meat sandwiches on Boxing Day.

Dates
chutney
bin bags
something light eg salad for when it’s all too much

YES - all great, thank you, I am so glad I asked!

@Badger1970 - haha, I can imagine!

@NotDecemberYet - corn relish?! This is new to me, but sounds good, for the leftover sandwich I assume??

Most supermarkets are closed for 2 and who wants to go out and shop when they could be home stuffing their face

DelilahBucket · 20/12/2022 20:46

Cranberry sauce
Milk
Dips
Sauces for sandwiches
Salad

Shops are only shit for two days so as long as you've got the stuff for that, you can always nip out.

RitaSueandBobtwo · 20/12/2022 20:48

The way things are going in our house at the moment I would suggest stocking up on Lemsip, Paracetamol, lockets/strepsils, vaseline and lots of soft tissues.

WontLetThoseRobotsDefeatMe · 20/12/2022 20:49

My list to nip out and get is (thanks to you lovely remembering people!):
kitchen roll
medjool dates
prawn ring
normal bread
salad cream
eating crackers
lidl snack pack (those multi compartment assortments)

I won't plan to have or do any other shopping until 30th ish, we like to have a hibernation.
