Bedrest grocery list?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

 I found out today that I'm going to be on bedrest for the next 3 weeks at least. Possibly longer. We will have dinner taken care of a few nights a week but I'm trying to think of what we need for the duration. We'll need at least breakfast and lunch items, snacks and paper products. We don't have a ton of freezer space but we have two fridges that are fairly largewith freeze space of course. So far I have:

Paper Plates and cups
TP
Paper Towels
Cereal
Chips
Pretzels
Protein Bars
Bread
Peanut Butter
Jelly
Pimento Cheese
Trash Bags
Eggs
Butter

I'd love more input here. We winged it last time I was on bedrest and that was rough. DH ended up going to the store more than he would have liked to. I'd love to do one BIG trip then have him only pick up bread, milk and produce once a week for the next month. Thanks for suggestions!

Your list looks good.

 

Not sure if this is an option in your area, but I was on bed rest for a long time - partly at home.  While at home, I had a grocery store deliver to our house once/week - I ordered online.   Although my husband is more than capable of going to the store and our pantry was stocked with non-perishables, he was working really long hours at the time and it was one less thing for him to do.  They brought the groceries into the house and would put cold/frozen items into the fridge or a cooler - whichever I preferred.  The delivery fee was nominal and they picked out beautiful produce.  (I tipped but they seemed shocked so maybe that wasn't the norm or expected.)  None of the stores near my house deliver; this store was ~40 minutes away and came to my area once/week.  (Not too many people even knew they did this.  I just happened to call around.)
