I love shoping and love to walk down in the great malls and see what offers they have got, then start to shoping.
I never use a list of what I want and that is wrong as all people say that you must have a list of your needs to buy only what you need.
Do you ever put your needs in a list the go shoping?

I make a list and then forget it or am unable to find it when I get to the store. If I do happen to get to use it when I shop, it is always missing key items. Most times I just forget the whole thing and go for what I know. If I miss something, I just go back.

I usually go to grocery. I don't list the things that I need to buy. I just usually think of what are the things that we need at home. And always I'm exceeding thr budget.

I usually shop by memory, most of the time I can remember what I need, sometimes I forget one or two things.
Whenever I make a list, I wind up buying things that are not even on the list.
I do not go down each aisle either, when my husband goes with me, we go down each aisle and I wind up buying much more than I intended to.

I always make a list bc if i don't i won't get home w/everything i intended to buy. Even tho i make a list tho i don't just stick to my list. i always wind up buying quite a few things that wasn't on there. I enjoy shopping tho. The ever increasing prices are a bit depressing but that's not gonna change lol.

I don't usually write liss, I just remember what I need, and then get i when I get to the store. I have a fantastic memory, and it's not very often that I need a list in order to remind me of something. My husband, on he other hand, has a habit of sticking pos-it-notes on almost everything to remind him of various things.

Dear friend,
If there are more than few things to buy I would list it in a piece of paper. May be in case I may forget it I could get look into it for clarifying if any more to buy. More over I would be much relaxed without much confusion as I had already prepared a list which is accurate and no more to scratch my brain or head for remember anything that I had forgotten.

I do not like shopping a lot,but I do enjoy doing it from time to time,and usually when me and my fiance go shopping we are either with my mom or doing some shopping for my mom,and we always take a list with us because as high as food and stuff are getting these days,it is better to only buy the things you need and worry about the things you want later on.

never did i list the things that i would like to buy..usually i have only one thing on mind before i go shopping and after going at it i find myself with more than one thing hehehe...that is why i am avoiding it if i dont have money coz just like others i am a impulsive shopper...

Yes that what we have say before shopping without list will make you buy things you don't need.
Thank you.

i love to do shopping especially with my friends but not usually my shopping list s that much big so i dont have to make up alist to make things easy but yeah thtats a good idea for regular shoppers who want to do shopping in bulk and are mainly engaged in hard work like computer engineeres and software enginners etc.......

Well to we make a list of what all things have to be bought when going shopping. it makes things a lot easier because you know what all things are to be bought and you can go to the respective shelfs and pick up the stuff. it helps in saving a lot of time and getting everything in order.

That was a good explanation for this way for shopping.

If I'm going the mall, I wouldn't make a list since I mainly just go there to shop for clothes. Haha. But sometimes if I'm going to the grocery store and I'm making something in particular, I would make a list to make sure that I get everything I needed.

It depends. When I have many things to shop, then I do make a list of priorities. But when I have very few to shop, then I just remember it by heart and get them through window shopping itself.

Yes I do sometimes because when I'm on shopping I sometimes forgot what to but. And worst I will buy things that is not what I'm going to... hehehe

Yes. I often have a shopping list though sometimes I don't write them down on a paper I have them in my mind. I seldom buy what I don't need just because they are cheap or the sellsperson tricks me into. I know money is hard to earn but easy to spend, so I seldom spend money without plans. This habit helps me a lot especially when now the prices are so high and the inflation just keeps going worse.

I don't. In fact, I always forget to list. I have a list on my mind, but I tend to forget some items. I just stroll around the grocery from isle to isle.
