Essentials
Basic needs - shampoo, milk, butter, etc. My kids only eat the bread here: "Superbrød" - it's constantly sold out, but if you get your hands on it, it's healthy, moist, great tasting bread that you and kids will love. Two choices: the one with root vegetables or the other normal high fiber one. But believe me, you wouldn't know/taste the healthy ingredients, what you taste is moist good bread.
