1 tube of toothpaste weekly to fortnightly depending on if ds eats it or not other wize its every 3 days thats for kids adults use 1 every 3 weeks

About 6L of milk
3 loaves of bread
1 toilet roll every three-ish days
1 tube of toothpaste a month (I think... we all use different ones LOL!)
About 10 eggs a week
One large box of cereal a week (I think... we all eat different ones LOL )
500g of butter every fortnight
1kg of cheese a fortnight
lol in comparison we eat barely anything! Although DF doesn't eat breakfast, and rarely has lunch.
1-2 litres of milk
1/2 loaf of bread
Lucky to use 6 eggs in a month, depends if I bake anything or not.
Toilet paper- i don't keep count, but we dont buy it very often
Everything else we don't use much at all.
Probably the main thing we go through is junk food (DF)!
Milk 6-9litres - depends on baking and if DH is drinking a lot due to reflux
Bread - 2-3 homemade loves, plus 1 store bought (sometimes a pack of wraps)
Eggs - 1-2 dozen per week. Lots of baking here, plus we have our own chooks, so often eggs on toast for lunch
Toilet paper - 1 roll per day
Toothpaste - 1 every 3 weeks
Cheese - 500g per week, more if baking something that requires grated cheese
Cereal - 1 to 2 boxes per week. So dependent on what type and who is eating it
Milk - about 12 litres
Bread - about 1 loaf (but I might bake some too, eg, if we want crusty garlic bread with a meal)
Eggs - about a dozen a week
Toilet paper - no idea. Maybe 1 or 2 rolls a week? Both boys still in nappies.
Toothpaste - seems to last forever. I am very economical with my toothpaste.
Cheese - about 250g a week? That probably averages out over a month.
Cereal - a box a week or fortnight, depending on if I eat brekky or not.
The other things I find we go through are butter (for baking, cooking and spreading), apples (only food the boys are allowed to help themselves to), bananas (I buy about 5 a week when they're exy and when they're gone they're gone til the next week, when they're cheap we go nuts), and things like sugar, flour and cream. That is not sounding very waistline-healthy is it....
3-6L of milk a week depending on how much we let miss drink (seriously, 3 cups at bedtime?! Me thinks NOT child!!!!)
2-3 loaves of bread a week depending on if miss has toast for breaky
Cereal 1 a month because only miss eats it and she only eats wheetbix.
loo paper - 1 every 2 days? (remembering we're only home on weekends and DD and I are home Tuesdays)
Eggs - pft. 1 egg every blue moon?! We go through phases...
Cheese - lasts a maximum of 2 days here. Seriously! Have to sneak the stuff into the house or miss inhales it! Even if I stick it in the freezer she'll inhale it the second she sniffs it out!
Toothpaste - 1 a month for me and I clean twice a day. DD has her own.
Milk: a 3lt bottle a day, so 21lts a week.
Bread: 1 a day so 7 in a week.
Cereal: Depends on the box size, but usually a large box per fortnight. My older kids most eat toast.
Toilet Paper: We go through a 12pk in a week.
Eggs: Usually about 18 in a week... depends on how much baking I have been doing.
Cheese: We usually go through a 24pk of slices and a kg block in a week.
Toothpaste: 2 tubes per fortnight.
Cordial: 2 x 2lt bottles a week.
This is for me, DH, DS who is 15, DD who is 12 and DS who is 2.
2 adults, 1 child, although for the moment it's 1 adult, 1 child (DF is working away)
We use
MILK -1x 2 litre
BREAD - 4-6 loaves
TOILET PAPER - 7 rolls a week
TOOTHPASTE - 1 tube a month
EGGS - 1 tray a month
CEREAL - hardly eat it
MARGARINE - i tub a week
CHEESE - 24 pack of sliced cheese
CORDIAL - 1 bottle a month
WASHING - 1 packet of liquid (front loader), 1 sachet of fabric softener
FRUIT/VEG - 2 bunches of bananas, 4 packets of strawberries & 2 bags of grapes.
Milk- 2 litres of milk
Bread- 2 loaves of bread (sometimes we dont eat it at all)
Toothpaste- 1 tube a month
Toilet Paper- We get the double length so a 6 pack lasts us a fortnight
Dish washing detergent- a bottle a fortnight
Laundry powder- a box a month
Eggs- a 6 pack maybe a month if he wants brownies lol
Cereal- a box a fortnight (usually weetbix)
Cordial- a bottle a week (DP LOVES his cordial)
Coke- a bottle a day (2 litres and as above *rolls eyes*)
Margarine - a small tub a month (i dont eat it)
Cheese - a block every fortnight
Plus $100 of meat every fortnight and the same on fruit and vegies. We stock up on pantry fillers such as spaghetti, soups, taco stuff, pasta sauce, packet noodles. We get freezer stuff such as frozen vegies, frozen lasagne, wedges, chips, sometimes ice cream or icy poles and whatever else we feel like or is on special. (some of this stuff lasts us a month sometimes 2)
