Shopping List when staying at a Villa

[JudeB]

The Dibb villa we stay in provides tea towels and there are toilet rolls, bin bags and a couple of dishwasher tablets to do us for the first couple of days. We do bring anti-bac wipes with us, as well as tea bags but that's about it. As others have said, Dollar Tree for clothes and dishwasher powder and Walmart/Target/Publix for toilet rolls, shampoo, handwash, etc etc.

Usually take a few tea bags and that's it. Buy everything there, as others have said doller tree is great for washing and cleaning stuff,I love a visit there 😂

Another vote for Dollar tree. We only really found out about Dollar tree on our last visit and it is great for all the cleaning essentials. Also have hydrocortisone cream, antibiotic gel, all that type of stuff.

Some villas we have stayed in have only had toilet rolls and a little bar of soap, nothing else, others have had bin bags, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, kitchen roll supplied so no harm in asking. We always take tea bags as they are quite expensive to buy and I also take filter coffee as this also seems expensive in comparison to here.

We buy everything from Dollar Tree, they stock smaller quantities and cheaper than Walmart/Target

Here's my little villa shopping list which I keep in my purse:-
Milk/Coffee Mate/Coffee
Bread/Butter/Chicken/Fruit/Cereal/Onion
Ham/Cheese/Bacon/Beans/Tomatoes
Crisps/Biscuits/Vinegar/Frozen Crinkle Cut Chips/Tomato Sauce
Orange Juice/Drinks/Water
Washing Powder/Dishwasher Detergent
Cloths/ Lilo/Toilet Rolls/
Frozen Biscuits with bacon/sausage patty/
Krispy Kreme/ English Toasting Bread – Walmart Bakery/Crusty Cobs to Freeze.
We like to take rolls out with us if we are going to a water park, or if we are staying at the villa we'll make cheese/ham and onion toasties. We buy lots of cans of pop and take them out with us in a cool box to drink once we've finished at the parks.

Walmart do packs of dishwasher tabs that have 16 in them, they are less than $3. Kitchen roll is 50c for a single big roll. I also bought perfectly good washing linguists from there for a dollar, just lasted me 3 weeks, perfect size. Bin bags are 98c a box.

What's cheeky? You are asking a perfectly reasonable question!

We give each guest 4 dishwasher tablets, a small bottle of washing detergent, 2 bin bags (in addition to those in the bins) [but, you're not staying at ours!]

Then under the sink you'll find sponges, dishwashing detergent, more dishwasher tablets. In the cupboard you'll find a box full of new tea towels (in addition to the six-ish open ones in the kitchen drawer), cling film, foil, napkins, often sandwich bags, British tea bags, coffee...and loads more. Wouldn't expect any guest to TAKE any of these things, but you might need to buy more depending how much you eat in (and hence use the dishwasher) or how much clothes washing you do.

For smaller packs Dollar Tree are good, but choices are more limited - you'll never get a tiny pack of anything in Walmart!

We tend to provide more than most, but I'm amazed how many folks take this stuff with them. I really couldn't be bothered when I know I'll be going to Walmart on arrival anyway. Life's too short and bags are heavy enough

I'd say the one at Posner Park (exit 55 of the I4, then just south on the 27). Championsgate is at exit 58.
