I am attempting to come up with a definitive list of all the things I need to buy to cook for Pesach. As I don't live someplace with a big Jewish grocery store, I am trying to fit all my shopping into 1 trip.

Can you please suggest any items that should go on my list? Thank you!

Try this.
One column is to write the quantity and the second column is to check off when you bought it.
Don't work too hard!

I can't open the spreadsheet but don't you need to decide what recipes you are making first and then make sure you have all the ingredients?

Some of us look at all the ingredients we have in the house and then decide what we can make with them. Like an invention. LOL

Not really a list, but I learned long ago not to rely too much on specialty Pesach foods. (I do buy some, but I keep it minimal.) Besides matza, I mostly rely on the basics: meat, fish, fruits and vegetables, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt.

This is an amazing work of art! Thank you so much. It's so easy to compare to my not-so-organized list, delete and insert things as needed. I'm keeping it. Thanks again.

Mah nishtana lecht are very long candles, like tapers, that will burn many hours, hopefully till the end of the seder.

Bedikas chometz set is a wooden spoon, a feather and a candle. Also usually comes with a sheet that has the brochos and kol chamira texts. They don't sell those in Israel?

Lol. It's just fluff I guess.
There seems to be an inyan to have the candles burn throughout the Seder. So these are just extra long candles. Kind of like the ones used at a candlelit dinner.
The Bedikas Chometz set is more of a chinuch thing. Comes with a shamesh like candle, large feather, and wooden spoon. The kids really get a kick out of us sweeping up the chometz with an actual feather and spoon.

Achdus, your list was an amazing help - THANK YOU!!!!

Shalhevet, we usually get from a tzedaka organization as bedikas chometz package (along with an envelope) which includes a wooden spoon, feather, and 10 little packets of bread cubes!
