Firelighters and kindling. Every time, even though I have a shopping list. Also tinned tomatoes despite them being a staple.

[haggistramp]

poop bags for the dog. Cue scrambling about the house 3 times a day hunting for a couple and mentally adding them to the shopping list but then forgotting. Its cause we always buy the fragranced nappy bags for poo bags but we dont have any babies in the house so tend not to go down the baby aisle, so dont see it to jog our memory into picking it up.

[SausagePourHomme]

I used to forget boring staples; bread, milk, packed lunch stuff.
I never forget anymore as i use google shopping list and i can just shout at my phone through the week "hey google add loo rolls to shopping list" as i think of it. Magic!

I would love to be able to get staples and snacks drlivered, provided i feel like the delivery staff are getting a fair wage. It it's the main thing that puts me off delivery services if i feel the staff are being exploited

[SilverHairedCat]

Milk. Cat food. Dog food. Dentastix. Cat litter.

All things I don't realise have gone until I need them.

I live in Cornwall - I note this is only available in London, Bristol, Manchester and Cambridge. Is this likely to be rolled out further in the UK?

[HopingForMyRainbowBaby]

Toilet rolls
Bin liners
Kitchen rolls
Condiments
Softener
Soap powder
Bleach

[Nadjahomesoil]

It's always things that aren't the main ingredient but important, like baking powder or suet.

Somehow always remember wine.

[SuperLoudPoppingAction]

Bin bags because they're always hard to find.

Milk because we often have some in the fridge that is gently mouldering past its natural life span, but visually when I check the fridge in a rush to make a list, it's there.

[BigGreyEagle]

For us its lunchbox items like raisins, yogurt sticks, crisps.
A quick look in the cupboard before we go shopping and it looks like we have plenty but with 4 kids we go through 20 of each item a week so we are always running out.

[Jammallama]

Dog treats and things in the cleaning aisle! I have to remember to go down there or clean out my cleaning cupboard so I know what's in there!

[Indoorcamping]

Milk, i always think we have enough in already. We never do.

Cat litter.

Salt, been meaning to pick up some for weeks. Onto the stash of McDonalds sachets in the drawer now.

[LovelyLupins]

Binliners and macaroni. Don’t know why, but always these 2 things, even if they’re on my list!

[Twinstudy]

Bin bags, always sodding bin bags. On the rare occasion I do remember I seem to get the wrong size!

[DoucheCanoe]

Herbs and spices - I never realise I'm out until I go to grab a tub from the tin. I then make a mental note to put it on the shopping list and ultimately forget which ones I need in the store 🤦‍♀️

[WithASpider]

Batteries - always bloody batteries!

Usually forgotten just as all the wireless mice in the house die.

[OldTinHat]

Matches. Constantly. I love lighting candles and incense to relax and wind down and end up angry and wound up instead when I've forgotten to buy matches again!

[Ginisatonic]

Salt, pepper and spices. Really annoying because they make such a difference and so need another trip to the shops.

[SweetFelicityArkright]

Usually whatever I went in for!

But mainly -

Toilet Roll
Bin bags
Tea bags
Fabric conditioner

[coastergirl]

Tinfoil, bin bags and washing powder.

I never forget the wine!

[BangingOn]

Clingfilm, olive oil, chopped tomatoes.

[Shanda5]

Kitchen roll every time.

If I do manage to remember DH uses it all in about 12 hours, mopping up spills, drying the sides etc 🤦‍♀️

[Skyeheather]

Sauces & side dishes, always remember the main elements of the dishes I'm cooking but often forget things like mango chutney, dipping sauce, naan breads etc.

[WaterBottle2]

We forget batteries, nappy sacks and bleach

[SilenceOfThePrams]

Loo roll. Just got back and yet again I’ve come back without it.

Kitchen roll, bin bags, dishwasher salt and rinse aid.

Basically, everything we don’t buy every shop.

[Newchallenge]

Milk. We use 16 pints a week, how do I manage to forget it so often?

[CELEBRATION67]

Herbs and spices
Tomato ketchup and mayo
