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

[drspouse]

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.

They have it on amazon

Lemsip - my lot are going down like flies.

Candles, lighter/matches
streaky bacon for roasting once rolled
cloves for bread sauce

So glad you posted this! Completely forgot tin foil on my shopping list and I used the last if mine at the weekend! Thank you, you have just saved my Christmas Turkey!

Fruit.

Definitely need clementines! Apples coming in the veg box.

Ice cream, a couple of years ago I took a pudding course to daughter's house and forgot to get the ice cream out of the freezer, a drive round saw me paying about £7 for a tub the size of Ben and Jerry. It would probably have been faster and cheaper to run home to get it!
Things I've needed last minute, foil, cling film, hash browns for breakfast and of course Alka Seltzer or similar.

I don’t bother with the constraints of a list. I prefer to just get to the shops, immediately panic and start frantically throwing huge quantities of absolutely everything into the trolley, “just in case”. I’ll also try to ensure that all 2 litres of double cream I buy will go off before NYE just to make sure that I have to throw it out.

Goose fat for the best roast potatoes.

Stollen. As long as you have butter you don't really need anything else 😊

Tin foil ? Have you plenty ?

Orange juice for a breakfast mimosa and peach schnapps as an alternative?

A nice chutney for boxing day leftover
Pickled onions. Some nice cordial for non drinkers

Perhaps writing a daily menu plan will help jog the memory?

I’ve just got to buy fruit for a pavlova (southern hemisphere resident). Picked up extra packets of jelly flavours the other day and a big bottle of cream (we whip it with a bit of icing sugar to sweeten). I do fruit jelly cups with leftover small fruit from the pav decorating.

apart from those, if there’s any decent specials on, I will top up on Monday and avoid the town where I shop after that…

A biscuit selection box and a box of heroes , Ferrero rocher etc.
cream crackers

We never have enough ice, lemon, limes.
DH always has to go out on Xmas eve for cream / butter / oils / foil/ ice cream / lemonade.

Mince pies & clotted cream

we went to Lidl yesterday to do our shopping and they didn’t have any of the cheap veg in and all the small oranges were rotten!
So now I have to try to go one night after work which is a nightmare as working for the next 4 days!

We have this too but never considered it niche.
Pulling Crackers and more fizz.

Lots of coleslaw and chutneys to go with all the leftovers! I have frozen pastries in for breakfast too with fresh berries and Buck’s Fizz!

Ice
Lemons
Butter
Champagne
TV Times magazine

Aldi have it too

Following!

I’ve forgotten the Mayo! Luckily there seems to be plenty of shopping days to go

Canapés/nibbles for guests plus vegetarian options? Good luck. It sounds like you're covered.

I walked round not with a shopping list but a list of what I hope to eat each day until January 1st, and the things I had forgotten but now have are: Batteries; horseradish sauce (to go with smoked fish); readymade custard for lazy trifle.

I was already intending to get salad stuff and clementines.

Mostly sorted now, (I hope).
