Diet Coke cans - I know I drink tons, but never seem to buy enough in advance!
Loo roll - I swear somebody here eats it, it just disappears
Ready sliced cheese - so easy to get through a packet without realising

Ketchup
Oil
Soya sauce
Vinegar

Also batteries and lightbulbs!

Ketchup and soy sauce - I always have a stash of McDonald’s sachets in the drawer just in case but who knows how old they are?! Nothing so disappointing as getting a lovely Chinese takeaway and then realising the bottle in the cupboard is Worcestershire sauce not soy!

Rice/pasta/cous cous.
Always only have half a dinner!!
I can buy everything else in bulk but seem to have a blind spot with carbs.

Onions. It's actually quite scary how often I allow myself to run out of onions.

Milk is also an issue because of the randomised cereal habits of teenage boys - we either have gallons or literally a thimbleful 🤬

Non foods generally - cleaning products, toiletries etc

for some reason, it's mainly light bulbs, I don't walk down that particular aisle so I always forget, even though we would've been banging (literally) about in a dark room. Also toiletries I don't use so much, cotton buds, razor heads, shaving foam, I should really send my partner or son shopping!

Bin liners

Olive oil is another. We always seem to run out before we buy more, never remember to buy it before we run out

Dog food and milk

Cat litter and cat food, every time!

Bin bags , foil, avocado , eggs

Boxed tissues - I always forget them and lately when I do remember they seem to be out of stock!

milk, I always assume it's there and never remember it until I get home and go to make a cup of tea!

Lasagne
Ketchup
Dishwasher tablets
Fabric conditioner
Sandwich bags

Bin liners, foil, compost bags, butter......the list goes on, could be anything tbh as I do the food shop at the end of a working week and I'm always knackered

I always forget snacks and washing up liquid.

I always forget to buy kitchen roll and a box of tissue.. it’s an important part of my shopping list but it’s always at the bottom of the list
I only realise when I need it..

Onions. I always think we have plenty.

Always, always washing up liquid and loo roll

Wraps! my youngest son is addicted to them with Nutella and we're always running out.

Usually toiletries as when they run out in the bath, phone is never handy to write it down so I just forget

Cling film and tea bags

Replacement light bulbs
Food caddy bags

The things that lurk in the uninspiring aisles of inedibles!

Usually forget sugar , I don't take it in my hot drinks but everyone else does and it isn't something I think of. The other thing I usually forget is yoghurts and I eat them . Doh
