What have we forgotten from the Christmas food order?

[RowersDelight]

Hopefully this thread can act as a reminder for everyone finishing off food orders etc.

I’ll start, bread sauce. Ocado don’t have any left, so fingers crossed DH can find some when he is out on Friday because I’m not making any from scratch.

Sellotape
Stamps
Toilet roll
Trifle sponges
Goose fat

(Eclectic list!)

It would be quicker to make bread sauce than trail round the shops. You can tell your DH to make it.

I haven't started yet. I do have sainsbury booked for tue though. Haven't actually thought about what we're going to eat yet.

@ProfessorRedshoeblueshoeyou are most likely right, but as the only vegan in the family, I’m happy to cook everything else meat and dairy, but for some reason I just can’t be dealing with this. Tbf DH is great and does more than his fair share of the Christmas prep and cooking, but he is happy to go shopping on Friday 😉

Oh sellotape is a good one. I will check our store now. Thanks @TheMousePipes

Fresh cranberries. We make our own sauce and I use them in my Christmas flower arrangement.

Bin bags
pet food and litter
bottled water and fruit juices
batteries
extra kitchen roll
loo roll
dishwasher tablets
extra boxes of posh chocolates for emergency presents
paracetamol and ibuprofen
Turkey foil

Toothpaste
soap
ice cream
something plain for when all the excess is too much
teabags

All based on so much emphasis put on the ‘special’ food that the basics get left behind.

Bucks Fizz

Cheese and crumpets.
Chutney and grapes.

Gaviscon!!!

Do not underestimate the amount of butter you can go through in a couple of days at Christmas too.

And I'll never forget the year I forgot to buy onions, so now I always end up with bags of them.
