Do you often run out of ingredients in between shopping and have to go to shops again?

I seem to do this often, and I get really annoyed as I shop online and pick it up each week.

For some reason I always seem to run out of important things like milk and have to go again to the shops.

When I actually go into a supermarket I buy all sorts of things that I did not go in for, and hence I am better off shopping online -I should not really run out as I do the order as soon as I need something, but I do run out or need something for a recipe.

Finy, I like the photo you used for this question.! I buy the 1 litre 'long life' milks, & keeps 3 or 4 of them in the pantry for an emergency.. Very handy. They last for ages.

I do not really run out of thiongs,but I do go to the shops more than once a week as I love to buy my fruit in small fresh amounts often!!

No, don't 'run out'!
Have my 'shopping list' & stick to it. Items required are 'written up' immediately I go to use last one!

Yes, I'll *high five* you there. I keep a magnetic pad on the fridge and things get written up as soon as they get near empty.

Hi Rice Paper.........we're both just too well organised! Lol!

Not usually, but we shop twice a week.

Nope, I do a comprehensive meal plan for the week and buy all the ingredients I need in one go. I also shop online and have it delivered to my door, which is heaven so far as I'm concerned.

22year old men, don't stay out of kitchens OK ...lol.

No I usually have a shopping list with me with things I need for the week.

I run out of things by the end of the week - but I just wait until I do my weekly shop. I rarely to to the shops more than once a week

Not often, no.

Ha! Worse than that . . . I am quite apt to forget the one thing I really needed. I stick to lists these days.

I do sometimes need a 2nd loaf of bread. Now I keep a spare in the freezer. It's not me who needs to go shopping more than once a week; it's my husband who likes to go & look at 'what's on special' (Yes we do pick up the 'special's' catalog every week!!!)
(Only at Aldi's) I try & go only every 7 days!
