Planning a bachelorette weekend is exciting, but it’s also a lot. Between coordinating outfits, booking the perfect Airbnb, and planning brunch reservations, it’s easy to forget one not-so-glamorous but super important task: buying groceries.
Whether you're the maid of honor, the bride, or just the most Type A in the group, a well-planned bachelorette party grocery list can make or break your weekend. Think easy breakfasts, snacks by the pool, cocktail essentials, and hydration.
And if you're planning a bachelor party grocery list, don't worry, we’ve got you too. This guide breaks down exactly what you’ll actually eat, drink, and need, so you don’t overspend or underprepare.
Let’s jump into the only grocery list for a bachelorette weekend you’ll ever need.
Before we dive into the list, here’s a little secret: You don’t actually have to do this yourself. With our Fridge Stocking Service, you place a grocery pickup order, and we handle the rest. We’ll pick it up, deliver it, and stock it beautifully in your Airbnb before you arrive. Cold drinks, organized snacks, and zero stress.
Here’s a realistic, tried-and-true bachelorette grocery list that covers all the essentials, from breakfast to booze.
We’ve broken it down by category to make it super easy to copy, screenshot, or send to the group chat.
You’ll want easy, no-cook options that work for early risers and hungover queens alike.
Bagels or English muffins
Cream cheese and butter
Eggs (for the one girl who insists on cooking)
Pre-cooked bacon or sausage
Yogurt cups or Greek yogurt tub
Granola
Fresh fruit (bananas, berries, oranges)
Cold brew or iced coffee
Coffee creamer and sugar
Bottled juices (orange, cranberry, pineapple)
Tip: If you're staying in Scottsdale, the morning sun hits differently. Cold brew and fresh fruit = lifesavers.
Cocktails are cute, but hydration is hot. Make sure your bachelorette party grocery list includes the right balance of fun and functional drinks.
Bottled water (lots of it!)
Sparkling water (La Croix, Spindrift, etc.)
Gatorade or Liquid I.V.
Coffee and tea
Soft drinks (Coke, Sprite, etc.)
Club soda and tonic water
Ginger beer and cola (for mules + whiskey drinks)
Pineapple, cranberry, and orange juice (for mimosas and mixers)
Fresh limes and lemons
Wine, champagne, tequila, vodka, seltzers
Reminder: Alcohol should be purchased separately by someone over 21 with a valid ID when placing your store order.
Poolside snacks, late-night munchies, and grazing boards need simple, crowd-pleasing options.
Chips and salsa
Guacamole or avocado cups
Hummus and pita chips
Charcuterie board ingredients (cheese, salami, crackers, olives)
Trail mix or snack mix
Popcorn
Mini candy bars or chocolate
Fruit snacks or granola bars
Pretzels and dips
Frozen pizza or bagel bites (for late-night cravings)
Snack tip: Buy more than you think. Bachelorettes get snacky.
Most groups eat out for dinner, but lunch is usually a quick bite at home or by the pool. Keep it simple.
Pre-made salad kits
Deli meat and cheese
Bread or wraps
PB&J supplies
Chicken salad or tuna salad
Fresh veggies and dip
Pasta salad or cold noodles
Rotisserie chicken
Chips or pita on the side
Make sure to grab napkins, paper plates, and utensils if your Airbnb doesn’t supply them.
These are the items you’ll wish you had if they’re not there — and thank yourself for buying when you need them.
Bottled water (yes, again — you’ll run out)
Ice (check if your Airbnb has an ice maker)
Aluminum foil and Ziploc bags
Paper towels and napkins
Solo cups and straws
Dish soap or sponges
Trash bags
Coffee filters (if not included)
Pro tip: Ice melts fast here in Scottsdale, especially poolside. Grab an extra bag for drinks.
Because this isn’t just any weekend, it’s the bride’s big celebration.
Champagne for toasts
Cake or cupcakes
Fun straws or drink markers
Themed cocktail napkins
Custom cookies or treats
Sparkling rosé or wine
Mini bottles for games or favors
Confetti or party poppers (optional but fun)

If you're planning for the groom squad, the grocery list for bachelor weekends is a little different, but still important! You’ll want protein-packed snacks, easy meals, and plenty of drinks.
Here’s a solid bachelor party grocery list to follow:
Grilled meats (hot dogs, burgers, chicken)
Buns, condiments, and cheese
Eggs, bacon, and pancake mix
Frozen pizza or burritos
Chips, queso, salsa
Jerky and trail mix
Energy drinks + coffee
Beer, whiskey, tequila
Gatorade and water
Solo cups and paper towels
Here’s what you don’t need on your bachelorette grocery list unless your group is super specific:
Too many perishable items (especially dairy or produce you won’t finish)
Obscure cocktail ingredients you’ll only use once
Complicated breakfast plans (no one wants to cook at 9 a.m)
Five different kinds of milk or juice
Overbuying snacks you never open
Stick to the essentials, and if you’re unsure, less is more.
