Herbs and spices.
Keep meaning to do a top up and forgetting

always forget the thing i go for

butter , toilet roll and mouthwash are my most forgotten and often send me back out haha

Bin bags and cleaning supplies, usually washing powder and washing up liquid.

My eldest has a lot of issues around food, so will not make do with whatever is in the cupboard if i forget one of his safe foods. Inevitably, I don't realise I've run out of his cereal or bread or rice cakes till we're back home, so annoying!

Washing up liquid and loo roll 🤣. End up going to the corner shop for them 😂

Descaler! Always need it, always forget it.

Flushable toilet wipes for my toddler who's being potty trained

@mayflower21 you should remember them next time

Thinking back over my last few shops-

Sweet potatoes.
Condiments and herbs/spices- mint sauce, mustard, dill...

Bin bags, double cream, eggs, sauces e.g. Worcestershire, dog treats.

coffee pods and milk I always run out faster than l think

In our household it seems to be milk, juice and bread!

Always something that is for me
... so 9/10 it's Tampax 🙈
It's just me and DD 9 so it's not like I can borrow one either 🙈🙈🙈

Mine was biscuits and I did it again after going back to get them, third times a charm!

I usually get the main ingredients then remember I've run out of olive oil or a particular herb or spice.

I always forget to buy olive oil or rapeseed oil. That or onions.- just the two basics I need for the majority of my cooking!

I don't know why, but I regularly forget teabags, even though I use them very very regularly. It's a very sad start to a morning to discover there's only 1 teabag left for me and my husband to fight over.

Also herbs and spices, I remember we have run out of one of them but often forget which one so end up duplicating paprika and having no cumin for weeks (for example!)

Batteries ! I’ve returned again today without the specific one I need for a new toy.

Sandwich/freezer bags. Batteries. And I can never remember whether it’s cling film or foil that I’m almost out of - it’s always the alternate one to the one that I pick up !

It's the small things, for instance I have been out of mixed herbs and oregano for WEEKS but just never remember to put them in my basket. I could understand this if I was physically going to the supermarket - these things are small and easy to miss - but I shop online, they're in my favourites list and yet still I forget them!

I think it's because they are things I don't buy that often so my eyes just skip over them in my list. I'm going to write them on a post-it not and stick it somewhere prominent and hope I actually remember them this week for once.

I can never remember which herbs and spices I’ve run out of. I end up buying the wrong ones and forget to pick up the ones I need.

Me neither - that’s why I have a zillion peppercorns and chilli packets!

Used to be toilet roll but now we buy them in bulk from uk.whogivesacrap.org/

Cheese, milk, butter, onions, kitchen towel and cleaning wipes. I'm as likely to forget the basics as anything else (because I think I'll automatically remember them so focus more on not forgetting the obscure items I need!)
