Does anyone have a shopping list from previous years they can share? Trying to compile a shopping list so I can do all my shopping at once. I know I'm missing things. Please share the items you bought perishable, non perishable, paper goods, etc. Gebrocks. Tia

I think the list that ra_mom put together looks good. Motzei pesach I always make a list of “have” and “need” for the following year. If you’re putting away anything for next year, write it down in the “have” column. If you need something or just a number of how much you used, write it on the “need” column

Ball jars for compotes/soups/borschts/beet salads/cucumber salads or if you use disposable plastic ones are fine too but those can't stay out of fridge

Make sure to have enough knives & peelers

I didn't realize some people use a specific candle for holidays that start motzei shabbos! That's really interesting. We just use the holiday licht already lit for havdalah (edit: Chabad holds this way).

It's one candle with two wicks in it. Small because you can't put out the candle.
I don't know if you can use shabbos/yom tov lights for other purposes
It's also another way to make money

Make a menu first so you can figure out what ingredients you need & for how many people

I like to buy butternut squash to make soup
Spaghetti squash to make low carb yerushalmi type of kugel
Kolrabi you can use for fries or instead of cabbage if you use only peeled like for cabbage/noodles or cole slaw

Klp sweeteners instead of sugar
Hot cocoa packets
Chammomile/Senna teas
Klp tums/mylanta
Klp tylenol/benadryl

I have an Excel spreadsheet.

First page is who's coming when so I know how many ppl each meal.

One page for butcher order. One page for produce. One page for grocery.
Also notes how much wine, grape juice & matza we bought, for how many adults & how many children, and if it was too much or too little.

One page for things to replace e.g. usually I buy a new Teflon frying pan or the like for Pesach & then make it chometzdik. Need another washing cup. Or another tablecloth.

Try to look at that list early (is it still early?) so I can shop around for a sale...

On one page I draw a calendar with weeks and what I hope to accomplish each day. Always including some catch-up days of course.

My goals is always to turn over the Motzai Shabbos before (because of not using the hot water over Shabbos) unless YT is very early in the week in which case maybe a week early. (We made two brissin a day or two before Pesach, one a son and one a grandson.)

But we're not big chometz eaters at all so we don't mind. I like to cook at my leisure, not under pressure. Though it often doesn't work.
