You've booked your Airbnb. Your crew is locked in. You're counting down the days. Then the bachelorette grocery list becomes everyone's problem.
Nobody wants to spend the first hour of their bachelorette weekend hunting for mixers, snacks, and hydration in an unfamiliar city. That's where Girl About Town comes in
Why Fill the Fridge Is a Game-Changer
We've planned hundreds of bachelorette parties in Scottsdale, New Orleans, and Rocky Point. The best ones? Every single one starts the same way: someone needs to figure out the bachelorette grocery list. What to buy. How much. Where to shop. That's where Girl About Town comes in.
Our Fill the Fridge service handles it all. We shop to your specifications, deliver it to your Airbnb or hotel before you arrive, and stock everything exactly where you want it. You show up. The party starts immediately.
Whether you're handling your own bachelorette grocery list or letting us Fill the Fridge, here's exactly what you need...
Your Bachelorette Grocery List: What to Actually Buy
Hydration Essentials for Your Bachelorette
You're going to be out in the Scottsdale heat, New Orleans humidity, or Rocky Point sun. Dehydration is the enemy of a good time.
Stock up on:
Water (3-4 cases for groups 12+)
Soda (Diet Coke, Sprite, Dr. Pepper — the crowd-pleasers)
Electrolyte drinks (Gatorade, coconut water)
Poppi or Olipop (the cute, fizzy, functional drinks everyone actually wants to drink)
Coffee or cold brew (for the mornings after)
LaCroix or flavored sparkling water (for the health-conscious crew member)
Pro tip: Buy way more water than you think you need. Hangovers and dehydration go hand-in-hand, and water is your secret weapon for keeping everyone functional.
Alcohol for Your Bachelorette Party
This is where the party actually starts.
The foundation:
Hard seltzers (Truly, White Claw, Bud Light Seltzer) — they're light, they don't fill you up, and everyone has an opinion about which brand is best
Champagne or prosecco (minimum 2 bottles, realistically 3-4)
Wine (red and white, for the chill evenings)
Your crew's preferred liquor (vodka, tequila, rum — know your audience)
Beer (for those who prefer it)
Why this combo? Pre-drinks hit different in a rental with friends than they do at a bar. You control the vibe, the music, and the pace. Stock variety so nobody feels left out.
Mixers and Garnishes
A bottle of tequila is only as good as what you mix it with.
Grab these:
Cranberry juice
Orange juice
Lime and lemon juice (fresh, not bottled)
Fresh limes and lemons (for garnish and chasers)
Sprite or ginger ale
Margarita mix (if you're not making it from scratch)
Simple syrup or agave (because yes, homemade margaritas hit different)
Fresh fruit makes a difference. Your Instagram-worthy photos of perfectly garnished drinks? That's fresh citrus doing the work.
Snacks (Because Carbs Save Lives)
You'll be hitting up Scottsdale's Old Town restaurants, New Orleans' French Quarter spots, or Rocky Point's fresh seafood. But your crew will also get the munchies at 11 PM in your rental.
Have these on hand:
Breakfast items (bagels, cream cheese, eggs, bacon, yogurt) — the day-after breakfast is half the bachelorette experience
Charcuterie supplies (cheese, cured meats, crackers, olives) — feels bougie, minimal effort
Chips and dip (salsa, hummus, guacamole, queso)
Candy and chocolate
Cookies or brownies
Popsicles (seriously, frozen treats hit different when you're drinking)
Fruit (watermelon, grapes, berries)
The goal: easy, no-prep snacking that doesn't require anyone to cook.
Supplies, Sunscreen & Hangover Kits
Nobody wants to do dishes on a bachelorette weekend.
Grab:
Disposable plates, cups, and napkins (if your rental doesn't have them)
Plastic cups for drinking games
Straws and drink stirrers
Trash bags (you'll go through more than expected)
Ice (seriously, buy extra ice)
Sunscreen (SPF 50, reef-safe if you're hitting Rocky Point or pool parties) — sunburns are not the vibe, and sunscreen is the small thing that saves the photos
Our Hangover Kit add-on (electrolyte packets, pain relievers, B vitamins, peppermint oil, ginger chews) — optional, but game-changing for the morning after
The sunscreen especially: everyone forgets it, everyone regrets it. Make it part of the setup.
How Fill the Fridge Actually Works
Scottsdale & New Orleans
You tell us your budget, your preferences, and group size. We place a Safeway order online, pick it up, load it into your rental, stock everything exactly how you want it, and take out the trash. You arrive to a completely set-up fridge and a clean space. It's that simple.
No waiting in line. No decision fatigue. No "who's going to the store?" text thread. We handle logistics so you handle the celebration.
Rocky Point
Rocky Point is different — there's no Safeway, and the local grocery stores aren't always near the beach rentals. We do the shopping for you at local markets, load your fridge, and everything is ready when you arrive. We know which vendors have the fresh seafood, which stores have the best prices, and how to navigate a market you've never been to. That's the whole point. You're there to relax on the beach, not hunt for groceries in an unfamiliar city.
Why Choose Fill the Fridge?
Here's what we've learned: the best bachelorette parties don't have anyone thinking about groceries. They're thinking about the bride, the crew, and the memories being made.
That's why we created Fill the Fridge. You tell us your preferences, your budget, and your group size. We handle the shopping, the delivery, the setup, and the cleanup. You walk into your rental and everything you need is waiting for you.
Available in Scottsdale, New Orleans, and Rocky Point.
