the whole kit and caboodle

All of it

The whole kit and caboodle means everything—the entire collection or group, with nothing left out.

Kit and caboodle are near-synonyms (both meaning a set of things), so the phrase is deliberately redundant for emphasis: When they moved, they took the whole kit and caboodle.

Sometimes shortened to the whole caboodle.
