@thismumcooks: Let's Normalise doing a food shop BEFORE you go on holiday. So many people talk about clearing out the fridge and stocking up the freezer to reduce food waste but forget how many food items have long dates on them. Cheese, Bacon, Eggs all tend to have good dates, make sure you have plenty of rice, pasta and tins in. Froze Veg and tinned fruit and fresh or long life milk. There is nothing worse than arriving back at home with mounds of dirty laundry and having to head back into work and knowing you also have the food shop to do. Why not cook up a couple of meals and pop them in the freezer for when you get home as well to stop that reach for the takeaway menu. #holidays #shopping #summershop #postholidayblues #aldi
I have Tesco delivery to caravan park it’s been a game changer obviously if u go in uk 🥰

another idea for those worried about electricity cutting out etc is to book an online order to come when you get home with everything you'll need

We clear out fridge and freezer before we go, there has been times we’ve came home and the fridge has turned off so long that it’s warm

Nope! Our routine the past couple of years is get the washing done on holidays in a local laundrette. Cost us €17.50 this year for 10 days worth of washing & we packed clean suitcases with a couple of days stuff. So one load & it was all done & we unpacked clean clothes. Then had a Tesco delivery booked for 10am the next day (we arrived home at 1am) with everything we needed for the week in it.

I've been saying this for ages!! 😆👌 also, if the hotel has a laundry service, who says you can't ask then to wash ALL of your clothes before you come home?...
