Empty House!

Hi there,

Tomorrow is the big day I finally move house! :j I have been trying hard over the last couple of months to use up everything I had in my freezer and cupboards, to save having to move it all to another house! The result of this is that I have very little left.

I live on a small island off the coast of Scotland which only has a Co-Op supermarket, and every so often I take my car across on the ferry (£60 for the ticket! :eek:) and do a really big shop at Asda or Tesco.

I will have a lot more storage space in my new house, enabling me to buy more bulk items etc, and a chest freezer to fill.

So my question here is - what would you all recommend I buy on my next big shop on the mainland? I'm looking for the items that you feel are indispensible to have in your cupboard/freezer etc. This includes both food and cleaning/bathroom products.

I'll get my pen ready, and start writing my list!

Thanks,

Jo x
