What Item(s) That Is Always On Your Shopping List?

[Ayaya]

Do you have anything that you always have to buy whenever you go shopping? Maybe a snack that you always buy, a cleaning product that you trust, or something else? This topic is not to discuss what you have on your shopping list (cause that can be pretty long) but something that you buy often on every shopping trip.

As for me, I like to eat instant food so I always buy a pack of frozen chicken nuggets and some local instant noodles/ramen. I know they're unhealthy but they're so easy to cook when you're hungry and you need something fast ;_; I also buy Pringles for snack because of the portion (it doesn't lie like a bag of chips!) and because I don't eat snacks often so Pringles is enough for me.

I almost always buy candy ;3; usually Sour Patch Kids!

 

[Shimmer]

Frozen juice. I try to drink more water but juice will always be my favourite.

I go to the store regularly either because I forgot something or because I simply can't fit much in the fridge.
Without fail I always get 3 things:

- Cheese : Because I go through it really quickly. I put it on practically everything.

- 2ltr bottle of Iron Bru. It's not my favorite drink (that's Dr.Pepper) but it's only 50p, so it's quickly become what I pick up since it's dirt cheap.

- a packet of Bourbon biscuits. I don't often eat junk food or sweet things...But I just really like these.


As far as I'm aware they're not really a 'big thing' in other countries (I expect other countries have Iron Bru and cheese), so this is what a bourbon is:

Iced coffee! It's so good. It's either that or vanilla yogurt.

Milk. I go through milk like crazy.

Also, I usually can't help but getting some frozen cheese sticks. Mmmmm :d

I always buy popsicles and juice. Usually if there is a box of popsicles lets say, 10 pieces, I would eat 8 in 2 days and my family will eat the other 2. Yeah...

Tea~ whenever it's on sale.
I don't like drinking water because I can 'taste' it. (I usually compare water to the water I have in my house/state, and people find it really weird when I say a certain country's water is saltier, bitter, bland, mucus-like, metallic, etc.)

Coffee Creamer.... constantly running out

 

[Heartcore]

I always get deodorant when I go to the store..or stuff for my teeth. Also skin care stuff is a huge thing I always look at. And don't get me started on when I go to a drug store, I always end up going to the make up and spending hours just looking at everything.

I get basically the same exact list of stuff every time I go shopping since we tend to get it done all at the beginning of the month and do little "restocks" if we run out of anything (like milk, despite my intense hatred of milk, lol) once a week or so. Every so often we change things up a little, but the staples are the staples, you know? You gotta have bread, milk, peanut butter, tuna, mayo, pasta, canned pasta sauce... lol, this is such a stereotypical poor person's shopping list, but hey, it is what it is haha - don't even get me started on the frozen foods and what a travesty it is that soda is priced cheaper than juice and water around here, I'll go on for hours if you let me.

Seriously though, I could type up my entire shopping list and 99% of it would count as a thing I get every single time I go. At least on grocery runs, anyway. My partner has to actually steer me away from the candy and sweets aisles though because my sweet tooth is insane. Every tooth in my mouth is a damn sweet tooth, I'd say and then we'll be at checkout and I'll just be staring at the candy. We have a running joke about me always wanting Butterfingers because I was on a Butterfinger kick for a while... I will NEVER complain about somebody picking up a Butterfinger for little ol' me. Partner always needs to have those pre-packaged honeybun things so he, too, fails to defeat his own sweet tooth to some degree.

When we do little orders from amazon or something, I always try to stuff some extra thing in there to get free shipping - which is a little more of a pain in the arse now that you have to spend 35 instead of 25 to qualify for it - and my go-to item used to be these little multicolored puff-ball toys for my cat. She LOVES them, but the company won't friggin respond to me about whether they're discontinued or not; they've been up on the site for months listed as unavailable and last I heard they were supposed to get a shipment in December. Now they just don't answer my e-mails anymore. I'm the crazy puffball lady I guess.

Innocent Apple juice, I really like it but the small bottles are ?1.50 at work (or ?1.35 once you take of the staff discount.) but you can get the 900ml bottles for ?1.50 at Sainsburys (normally ?2.00 when they go off this offer) so I just refill an old, small juice bottle from the larger bottles before I go to work I normally buy the small bottles 4 times a week, so that is ?6 each week but I buy the large bottles twice a week, so that is ?3/?4 but one will do 3 and a bit servings so two large bottles will cover nearly two weeks of shifts at work

When I go out, I always seem to buy mentos. I didn't used to like them, but I do now so I buy the packs of four. I like the mint ones more than the fruit flavoured ones.

Other than that, there's not much I always buy since my parents do most of the shopping. We do get through coffee pretty quickly.

 

[Boosh]

I seem to always be buying onions? Oddly haha. Nail polish... I'm obsessed.

 

[n64king]

Freakin corn, I dunno why it seems to appear so often. Or bread.

...That is the cutest name for apple juice I've ever heard. I'm kinda sad we don't have that stuff where I'm at, I'd be all over it.
