Nothing. I have it all delivered by Sainsbury’s, and can add forgotten items up until the night before. They also issue reminders if any regular items seem to be missing.

Tin foil

I have recently swapped from spread to real butter and for some reason we run out much faster.

We always run out of bananas between shops. It's not because I forget to buy them, it's just because sometimes 6 bananas can disappear in 5 minutes.

Tomato puree. I need to buy them 6 at a time to stand a chance of having some when I need it.

Milk and Eggs

The kind of chocolate that I like (and hide)

Loo rolls
Kitchen rolls
Fig rolls

Foil
Washing up sponges

Dishwasher tabs, cat food,
Bin bags.

Milk - always milk! We get through gallons of the stuff, I always joke we should buy a cow

Peas… it’s the only veg item we get from the frozen aisle and forget it every time! Luckily the corner shop stocks them

Olive oil
Batteries
Butter

Those important herbs and spices.
Utilities or bin bags because they are either our of the way of the main shop in a corner or on a different section in every shop.
Baking stuff because unless specifically shopping for it I would miss that isle

Things I always think we have loads of and then suddenly we don't have any:
Tinned tomatoes
Bin bags
Batteries

I never run out of milk (milkman) or loorolls, tissues and kitchen roll (on subscription)

Matches and tin foil. Random things that only get bought once in a while and are usually on aisles I don't visit usually... Hence forgetting them!

Light bulbs
Batteries
Binbags

An onion. Always forget it.

Ginger and lemongrass. Can't have my tea without it.

Mouth wash!

I've been into the supermarket at least 5 times since we ran out and I STILL forget

To be fair, it's in a really weird place at my local supermarket so you really have to go out of your way on a normal weekly shop to find it.

Dishwasher rinse aid, tonic water, crisps

Kitchen Foil - and I always only realise this when I’m halfway through a complicated recipe.

Tomato purée
Bin liners
Bleach
Ice cream

Kitchen foil. Every. Single. Time.

Bin liners
Dishwasher rinse aid
Dishwasher Tablets
Washing up liquid
Washing powder
Fabric conditioner
