Batteries, coffee

Things for my OWN packed lunch. Everyone else gets their favourites: fish for pescatarian DD; spicy stuff and chilli for DH; DS gets his weird cheeses and olive oil.

But I always forget the tubs of soup or pots of salad I want for work, leading to a mad lunch time dash so I can get back to my classroom in time.

I don't tend to forget the regular stuff. It's the occasional buys that I really don't like to be without I'll forget - like laundry powder, sesame oil, bin bags or peanut butter.

Batteries
Good quality cat food (easy to find the cheap yucky stuff at the news agent but I'd rather feed them human food than that!)
new note books

Bin bags, matches, peppercorns, stock cubes, cooking salt and dishwasher salt

Eggs! Because they’re always hard to find. Also basic but not frequent purchases like kitchen roll, batteries, foil, baking paper, toilet roll, bin liners, baking powder

Pitta bread and wraps. Sometimes I remember as I'm getting the dips or fillings to go with them and have to make a detour back round the supermarket.

Kitchen paper towels
Dishwasher salt
Teabags
Bin bags

For me it's things I don't buy weekly meaning I don't go down those aisles on a weekly basis, which leads to me forgetting about them as I don't go past the aisle they're on.

Drives me bonkers.

bin liners and toothpaste!
At the moment we really need dishwasher salt but I keep forgetting it!

Dishwasher tablets! I’ve run out again today 😞

@OldTinHat I used to be the same but then I bought a rechargeable candle lighter on Amazon so no more forgetting matches

@MojoJojo71 OMG is there such a thing?!! My life is about to change...*heads off to Amazon waving pompoms and wearing a 'I ❤ Mojo' tshirt...

I could forget anything besides food.
That's why I keep a shopping list on my phone so I can update it all the time. It's really helpful.

Washing up liquid
Eggs
Tampons
Oxo's
Spring onoions

milk- don't touch the stuff myself so never think to check if we need it.

Dishwasher salt / rinse aid.
Bin bags.

Usually whats really needed like bread, milk but don't bother writing down with all the non essential stuff😬

Porridge oats - my husband has a big bowl of porridge every day
Milk
Bread

Matches.

Bin bags.

Washing up liquid - you take it for granted - but miss it when you've run out - (shampoo was a substitute one week)

Toothpaste is one item I've forgotten - but it's amazing how much you can squeeze out when you curl it up and the end and roll - then open the tube and get out the remainder.

Onions!
Every. Single. Time we need onions I always forget them

Dog food (he was not best pleased when given cat biscuits for a day)
Baby wipes - when you think you have a spare pack in your changing box and don't
Tomato ketchup - when your OH brings fish and chips home - and there bottle has 1cm in
Bun cases - when your DD's want to make cup cakes and there's 3 left.

Fuse wire - when your fuse blows !

Batteries - to power your torch to try and find fuse wire.

Paracetamol - when you've got everyone to bed in the dark

Tampons - and you only have sanitary towels in. Toothpaste, toilet roll, bin liners - and your kitchen bin needs emptying,
...... and gin

Yorkshire pudding mix (yes I know it's lazy but it's the only guaranteed way I know mine will rise) Particularly when the MIL is coming for Sunday lunch,
