Another vote for milk - you'd think I would just drink it automatically when you consume as much tea as I do.. but apparently not! Also: teabags - the two main ingredients for a cup of tea! It's a good job water comes from the tap :)

Eggs, bread, butter, cat food and cat litter...and when I do remember there's miscommunication at home and we end up with 2 lots of everything.

Bin bags. Why?

It's the items we always buy in bulk and take for granted we always have - teabags, soap powder, pasta, flour, rice - all the necessities!

I've started storing toilet roll in the cupboard where the washing machine lives so that every day when I sort the laundry I can see how much is left

Stock cubes

They are small so easy to miss on the supermarket shelf, plus I usually forget which variety we have run out of!

It’s the things I only buy occasionally that I forget such as grease proof paper, tin foil, matches or tissues. I seem to blank out that aisle when I’m in the supermarket!

Usually things I assume I have like tinned tomatoes, tomato puree, pasta or toilet roll. I'm usually stocked up on them.

I usually forget the majority of my list but still somehow manage spending £100 🙄

But I have adhd so impulse control and short term memory are not in my favour anyway.

I usually forget to buy garlic and salt, which we use in every single meal prep!

Bin bags. We never seem to have enough. Luckily I usually have a few spare carrier bags which can be used until I can get to the shops.

Bin bags. Every. Single. Time.

Dishwasher tabs or washing powder!

Tomato ketchup
Vinegar
Tinned tomatoes
Washing up liquid
Cat biscuits.

Salt. Always the salt. Not that it's a regular purchase, but I suppose that's why it gets forgotten.

Recycling bags, light bulbs, floor cleaner

Always shoe polish- never know which part of the supermarket to find it in!

The one thing I’ve gone in for. Despite having bags crammed with stuff! Usually loo roll!

Always night time nappies for the potty trained toddler. Just in case!!!

gravy and sauces eg brown sauce, ketchup, mayo. I drive myself mad.

Salted popcorn for the microwave
Bananas because I can't keep up with their speed of consumption

Cereal, I dont eat it & the kids never let me know its run out until the day after delivery. It dosent matter how many times I tell them the house is not a hotel.

Household items that I don't buy every week, like bin liners, bleach and so on.

Bin bags
Pocket tissues

Another bin bag forgetter. Also, tin foil.

My mum used to say she used to forget things beginning with the letter S and yip me too 🙄
