What are your once a month purchases?
Tea(redbush and black, tetley), Nutella, Honey, Multipack crisps, 100g bar of dark dairy free chocolate, cayenne pepper, porridge oats(daily breakfast), some red meat, hobnobs, 5 litres vinegar

Razor blades(double edged safety razor), bog roll, roll on deodorant, shampoo and conditioner(i just use soap), soap, toothpaste, new toothbrushes, washing up liquid, washing machine stuff
