Stay-in room shopping list: radiation warning, 2 adults
UK advice is go in, stay in, tune in. This list stocks one inner room for two adults for a few days.
About these links: they are plain links to ordinary retailer pages. We may earn from some links in future; we don't now. If that changes, links will be marked * and this note will say "Ad". We haven't tested these products and we don't rank them. Prices are the ones we read on the date shown and will change. How we make money
This is a shopping list, not a kit we sell. Prices are the ones we read on 1 Nov 2026 (3 Nov 2026 for the St John Ambulance first aid kit) and will change; the total leaves out things you probably already own. Tick what you have (saved on this device only).
