Most recently? Cereal.

I did remember the milk though so we had more milk than would fit in the fridge door but no cereal.

Obviously, I had gone to buy cereal ....

Salt and sandwich bags

Eggs, for some reason I rarely see them in the supermarket and usually have to remember to seek them out.

It’s part of the supermarket design to essentially hide the eggs so you have to walk around looking for them, passing other items as you go. It’s not you. It’s clever marketing design.

Herbs and loo roll - always

Toothpaste! Don't know why!

I've been meaning to buy a cheap plastic whistle from the toy section( for dog walks )for about eight months now.

Dishwasher rinse aid at the same time as washing up liquid, just guarantees all my dishes look dull for a week.

I always forget cling film, kitchen roll and surface cleaner (method or similar). I always remember chocolate

Bog roll, milk & pads😂

You know that chocolate sauce for ice cream that sets when you put it on? Crackin? Crackling? Whatever it is, we’ve been without it for a month and it’s driving me daft because it’s (sadly) my real guilty pleasure among my current healthy eating plan!

Always seem to forget deodorant! Not got when you've got a house full of teens. Also often forget things like salami that my son loves but being veggie myself, it isn't top of mind so I'm never very popular with him when I've forgotten to get him all his fave sandwich fillings.

Minor ingredients that rarely need replaced, like herbs and spices.

Cooking oil.
Cleaning products

Keep forgetting to buy nappy bags. I somehow always forget to include it on my shopping list yet manage to come back with a full bag of snacks that weren't even on the list!

Toothpaste usually. Never forgotten loo rolls - I grew up in a house where we often had squares of cut up kitchen paper towel

Coffee pods, sugar, salt

Interdental cleaning brushes - every time!

Kitchen roll
Washing up liquid
Bin bags

Gravy granules
Matches
Vinegar

Always bagels for some reason. The kids love them but I seem to have a mental block!

Bin bags
Tea bags
Washing up liquid

Bin bags and kitchen roll.

Tampons, tinned tomatoes and jelly beans.

I always underestimate how many jellybeans I'm going to need.

Lemons and garlic

Cat litter
Loo roll
Kitchen roll
Bleach
Butter

Cereal, always. We go through a ridiculous amount of it and I am guilty of thinking "I'm sure we have some, it's fine". It is usually NOT fine.
