Supermarket run on Monday - what isn't on my list yet?

Planning to dash to Lidl followed by Booths fairly early Monday. My list is very short so I'm sure I've forgotten something!
It's just us 4, with maybe 4 or 5 neighbours coming over on Tues afternoon. Turkey is coming from the butcher on Tues and a veg box on Weds.
So far I have
A few oven bits for Tues afternoon
Puff pastry (for a Christmas tree tear and share - already have mincemeat)
Fake Bailey's
Cheese
Stuffing
Pigs in blankets
Crisps
Fancy gravy
Fancy custard.

Already have a gingerbread house kit for after Christmas, brandy butter, Christmas pudding.

Fruit, salad bits are you having a starter?
More cheese, crackers, eating and banging.
Twiglets for my sil.

I had to read your comment twice before I realised what you meant. At the first reading of 'eating and banging', I wondered what goes on in your house at Christmas!

drspouse · 19/12/2025 15:38

Lemons! Also pate, and I will check if we have Christmas crackers.

I have at least 2 Christmas H boxes squirrelled away so I think we will manage without After Eights.

What are you having on Boxing Day? Won't you need something to go with the cold cuts of turkey? What about more booze, apart from the Bailey's rip off.

DilemmaDelilah · 19/12/2025 18:27

Cranberry sauce! Lots of cranberry sauce.

Chinsupmeloves · 19/12/2025 18:32

Alcohol?

IndigoIsMyFavouriteColour · 19/12/2025 18:34

We forgot to get extra oil. Make sure you have enough oil.

There's been mention of goose fat for potatoes but you haven't actually got potatoes on your list. You may get some in your veg box but they're often not big enough to use for roasties.
I think somebody else has said cheese biscuits, but some good bread would be nice. And DH says Twiglets!

I'm planning a turkey pasta bake for later in the week but we're up to our ears in pasta and tinned tomatoes. Then I'm out with DD (we're seeing Six, ssh it's a surprise!) and then probably a pub tea as we're going to see a country house lights display.
I have the Christmas eve tea sorted but I'll check the menu for Monday. After that I think we'll cope with going shopping again!

We have sliced leeks in our pasta bake.

Trotula · 19/12/2025 18:47

Indigestion tablets?
paracetamol?

horseplay12 · 19/12/2025 18:53

Yorkshire puddings
bread sauce
milk
biscuits/crackers for cheese
grapes

We're having a turkey pasta bake and we have all the other ingredients.
Booze all bought!

Cat/dog food?

MiddleAgedDread · 19/12/2025 19:04

Wine, beer and prosecco and soft drinks

ToadRage · 19/12/2025 19:07

We went shopping this afternoon and i just said to my husband 'we forgot to buy Christmas crackers!'

OneOfEachPlease · 19/12/2025 19:08

More fucking wrapping paper! (That’s what’s on my list)

Bookaholic73 · 19/12/2025 19:09

Do you have enough milk, eggs, flour and oil to make Yorkshire puddings?

clarehhh · 19/12/2025 19:10

Cranberry sauce ingredients, bread sauce ingredients, bacon, pigs in blankets, brandy butter ingredients.

Bookaholic73 · 19/12/2025 19:10

Also, Christmas is the only time of year I use the foil disposable roasting trays that you can just throw away once you’ve cooked your roast.

ChocolateCinderToffee · 19/12/2025 19:22

Pears and red wine to go with the cheese.

Cornflowers35 · 19/12/2025 19:26

Bake at home bread / baguettes

I'll be checking my shopping list and adding some of the ideas on here

Pigs in blankets
apples
cranberry juice
sparkling water

I wrapped my presents today and I think DD has done hers. Plenty left but if there isn't DH can sort it!
