Specific foods the children ask for that I've promised I will remember to buy, because they like to ask when I'm busy in the middle of doing something.

Bin bags. Always bin bags!

Kitchen roll, bread, toothpaste, stock cubes and herbs/spices.

Toothpaste and shampoo/conditioner. As there is just two of us it takes a while to get through so it’s not on my regular list

Olive oil!
I always forget it when I need it that night for a recipe as I've ran out. I've been known to go to the local shop for it and come back with wine and no oil.

Conditioner because the bottles are the same size as shampoo but you just use more conditioner…

Usually non-food things like kitchen foil, toothpaste, shampoo - I use a shampoo bar, but no one lets me know the shampoo is running out until it’s actually gone and then it’s usually three trips to the shops before it’s remembered.

Usually basics like salt or olive oil. Or things I would buy in bulk that last a long time such as tinned lentils and chickpeas that I don’t realise are gone until I go to get the back ups from the garage and the shelf is bare.

Olive oil! Have made some interesting recipes trying to make do with whatever random flavoured oil we have in the house

My mum was a war child - therefore she always had enough provisions in the house to get us all through a nuclear winter. I have inherited that so generally have cans of coffee, sack of rice, tonnes of pasta and long life milk… of course it means that I find some very old things at the back of cupboards.

Little things that you don't use very often but are essential for certain recipes like particular spices, vanilla essence or baking powder.

Or the practical stuff like bars of soap and toothpaste .

Sandwiches

rubbish bin liners. There is always plenty, and all of a sudden I'm marrooned and out of it!

Agree re herbs and spices, had a clear out recently and now there are no best before 2017 jars in there but many haven't been replaced.
The right kind of flour or sugar for a recipe.
Plus I either have loads of cheese or hardly any!

I’ve just remembered another thing I always forget and have to go back for, (see what I did there?). Batteries.
