Okay friends, I need your help … TODAY!!! Don’t sit this one out. Time is short and the water rises. Help me think!
It has been decades since I have had to furnish a place from scratch. Yes, the rental I’m getting is furnished (thankfully!) and I have Charli’s needs firmly in mind and squared away/fulfilled. The place has pots and pans, so that’s not an issue either. Toothpaste, deodorant, and other hygiene items , I’m squared away there, too!
But I’m trying to create a list of basic essentials that I’ll use often, since I couldn’t fly everything down that I’ll need when I moved. Here’s what my brain has delivered so far, and I know it’s entirely inadequate. I need to expand it so that when I go shopping (I will need to Uber as I have no vehicle, unless stores deliver) I can get the items I need without getting back home and realizing, “Oh, crap! And I needed to get _____ and _____ and ____, too!”
Toilet paper
Broom, mop for tile floors, dust pan
aluminum foil, saran wrap
spoons
small plastic recycle bins, waste baskets
furniture polish
crock pot
What else??? Help me expand this list!
Groceries:
milk, juice
salad dressing
lettuce
bread
lunch meat
veg/beef/chicken broth
water chestnuts for crockpot meals
corn, peas, carrots
rice
plantains
beans
olive oil
What else? Help me expand this list! (I’m not much of a cook/baker, so don’t go crazy here mentioning spices, herbs, etc.)
I KNOW there are other things that have slipped my mind. Your help to recall them is much appreciated!!! Respond via Facebook comments, WhatsApp (my number for that is 506 6017 1951) or email me at kristinemsmith@msn.com. Right now getting to my kris@wordwhisperer.net address is a PITA, or I’d have you use that one instead.
THANK YOU!
Again, it’s important that I get as complete a list as possible because I don’t have a vehicle so multiple trips into Grecia to shop would NOT be my first choice!
I look forward to hearing back from you! SOON!!! I move no later than this coming Saturday!
