I forgot swede and washing up liquid.

I'm not venturing anywhere near another shop now though. I'm so done!

Bring on Christmas!

Not forgotten but they didn't have: strawberries.

We almost forgot prawns for the prawn cocktail but DH remembered just as we were headed to the till.

£412 later :o

Ouch! How many are you hosting this year?

VintedoreBay

I get a good discount and make myself not go ott because I learned the error of my way after working in a bookstore and regularly spending my earnings 😅

MumChp · 23/12/2024 20:57

Kitchen rolls. We might survieve.

BotterMon · 23/12/2024 20:57

Philadelphia for the smoked salmon blinis. Luckily local shop had one.

AllTangledUpInTinselAndTiaras · 23/12/2024 20:58

Nothing!! I've made so many lists over the past few weeks.

I don't plan to go into another shop for days.

Maple syrup for Christmas Day breakfast waffles. Hubby nipped out this evening to pick some up from a lovely quiet shop.

Not as many as it would seem: 6 adults and 2 kids!!
And the butcher order was another £130.

I actually panicked when the total was at £100 after the first few items omg. That was the booze 🤣

PetuniaK · 23/12/2024 21:04

Teabags!! And hand wash refill. I’ll pop back to Tesco tomorrow. I actually really like the crowds and chaos 😂

monicagellerbing · 23/12/2024 21:04

Tinfoil 😩

Enko · 23/12/2024 21:06

Foil. Though dh is adamant we have some.. he hasn't produced it yet.
Garlic we have half so might be ok.

Triple A batteries (the tv remote warning light is flashing red, so a very real risk it will die at a critical viewing moment!), wine stoppers (just realised both the red and the white have corks this year and we only own one), and some cough medicine (for me!). DH will venture out tomorrow, the last minute Xmas Eve run is his area. He will also no doubt return with a ton of yellow stickered M&S stuff we don't need and have no room in the freezer for.

Dips for the pringles.
Pringles won't be the same without dips :(
Christmas is ruined I tell you, ruined!

Coop sell them rather than facing the big supermarket again!

We're going to my parents so didn't have to do a massive food shop. I'm making a couple of sides though and I couldn't get normal double cream, only Elmlea but it's for a smoked fish pate so I don't think it'll be noticeable at least. Couldn't get caster sugar for my meringue either but our local shop should have some so not too bad.

Swede is a hideous veg...so it's probably for the best!

Lol I agree, the same with cauliflower

Beautifulweeds · 23/12/2024 21:25

Actually for the first time ever nothing! X

Our Christmas lunch is ruined without mashed swede in butter and black pepper 😂

I just realised reading this ^ that I forgot black pepper…

Justmuddlingalong · 23/12/2024 21:26

I nipped down to lidl about an hour ago for the forgotten crisps and ice cream. It was deserted.

Fizzygoo · 23/12/2024 21:31

Toilet roll 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

and I bought fill your own crackers by mistake ffs

BlackCatsAreBrilliant · 23/12/2024 21:33

I didn't forget it, but have just discovered the butter tub is much emptier than I expected. So I'll need to nip to the shops tomorrow after all

Giggorata · 23/12/2024 21:35

Hell’s bells! Tomatoes coleslaw and cucumber. I think DH will go and get some tomorrow..

You've reminded me I forgot the crackers (to pull). So another trip tomorrow

HellofromJohnCraven · 23/12/2024 21:55

Custard.
We can live without. Went to Tesco about 6pm. No busier than a busy weekend tbf. Had everything
£270 later ( not to mention the £100 spent elsewhere).

TeaMistress · 23/12/2024 21:57

Crackers for cheese and some pringles. Also some mustard for the gammon glaze. Not a problem. I will pop somewhere in the morning to pick up some.
