Do you have a shopping list when you go shopping?

Hello sblossom How are you doing today? I do have a shopping list that I make out every week before going shopping. I do this so that I don't forget the things that I need. You know stuff that you normallly don't have to buy every week.If I don't make a list I will forget what I really need. Here is my problem, I forget to take the list with me..LOL..

yes, we always have a shopping list when we buy groceries every weekend. we buy the next week's supply and we feel that we shouldn't miss on something because it is only once a week that we do shopping. it seems a routine already but we still need the shopping list to prevent missing out something.

we always have a list when we go grocery shopping just because we plan our meals ahead of time and therefore need special ingrediants for these meals. i also find that shopping with a list is cheaper than not because you are not tempted.

Hi sblossom. Sometimes I use a list, but for the most I don't. Especially if the things I'm getting are the things that I usually get on a regular basis. However, if there are things that I hardly ever get, but need to buy, then I may use a list for that. But I won't add the usual things that I get to it as it just clutters up the list and makes it more confusing to search through. LOL When my husband does the shopping, which is rare, he needs a list. If he didn't use one he'd never know what to get! LOL Happy mylotting!

I have to have a shopping list when ever I go for shopping. Otherwise It is for sure that I miss something I planned to buy. Even it is a three item list, I do make it and note in the phone. If it is an elaborate one like grocery shopping, I make a long list of what is need in what quantity and of which company or brand. It helps in saving time and also from not sulking after coming home ha ha

I'm the same as you, when we first got married we always made a list, but now I pretty much know what I need. Also, as you said, I tend to look what is on sale and buy that so the shopping is based around what is available that week to try and save money.

i never have a shopping list when i go shopping... but i have quite a good self control and i hardly make impulse buying... i did make impulse buying once in a while if i really like the item... but not really that often... i try to control myself as much as i can when it comes to money as i have a limited budget... take care and have a nice day...

We try very hard to write up a list several days before we do our shopping to make sure that we're actually getting the items that we planned on getting. It saves money and it helps save an extra trip to the store because we forgot something. I think we stick to the list pretty well. Sometimes we stray but I think the items that we do stray from the list and buy are useful and not wasteful.

Hi sblossom, of course I take a list as it's a long drive to the shops and I don't want to forget anything. It is the best way to be organised to and plan ahead. I buy extra of things I would normally buy as well which are non perishable but on offer. Also if I have a list I don't get distracted by other things and end up buying things I don't need.

Most of times I go shopping with my mom.. I just help her carrying the products, but she always take some kind of list with her :p I guess she is very organized.

i usually make a shopping list when i go shopping because it stops me from make unessecary buys, it helps me save money, i dont like to send to much and i am trying to save some money for christmas, so when i shop i just get what i need which is why i make a list before i even leave the store. i find that it just helps and stops you form getting side tracked.

hi blossom, yeah, i do prepare list before going to shopping, but, more than my list i purchase a lot hahaha... really i am shopping lover. my eyes will search the new things. i will plan for 1000rs. but i will spend for rs.3000 you know. most of the time i go alone, sometimes with my hubby. thanks for the nice topic, and hava a nice day too..

Hi sblossom, I usually prepare the list whenever i go for shopping, i keep buying the things even i see anything new in the market or if there is any offers on the products i buy even them also along with the list.

no!I am lazy,I usually what you need to buy when the re-bus!

my husband and i will sit down and do a shopping list as well.. but the day we go to the grocery store even though i have my list we dont even attempt to look at it.. we just do our shopping and grab what we need what we think we need and what we want.. most of the time it works in our favor.. if im not calucalting what our budget is we usually do pretty good we usally stay under the budget and get all but like a handful of things we need, plus a bunch of stuff we didnt.. sometimes its bad though we get rarely what was on the list and junk that we didnt even need. we get home and i fianally pull out the list and it will turn out we didnt need mayo we have 4 alrady in the cupboard we needed mustard or something silly like that!! LOL

I do not have patience to make a shopping list. The shops are nearby hence going again to the shops is also not a problem. Since I am in the kitchen, I know what I need.

Hi sblossom I usually do have a shopping list when I go shopping but that is just so that I don't forget the important stuff though a lot of it I do from memory. I go up and down every aisle anyway looking for inspiration and special offers as they wouldn't be on my list.

Well, I think we do alike. In my past, I used to hold shopping list while I was shopping, and apparently neglected every single offer the shop had. But in times, I started forgetting the shopping list and use my 'sense' and 'heart' to do shopping. It's not that necessary for us to hold shopping list as long as we know what to buy, and quite frankly, we sometimes buy the usual things so the use of shopping list can be neglected. =)

Seldom do I have a shopping list in my hand. I normally do some random shopping, to be exact, impulse shopping. The result is I often buy lots of things never used even once. But there is something to note, when you get down to buy something, let's say, a pair of loose pants, light grey, on a given shopping day, you might not lucky enough to find one you are thinking. As to some groceries, I can perform accoding to a list because they are always easy to find from the shelves.

Yes sblossom, when i go out for shopping, i never forfet to take shopping list, bcoz i can't remember what i will have to buy. So that i just listed all those things first, which are i will be going to buy.
