List of going to the store

I actually list down the things that we need to get in the grocery. For me, I list it down because it's a priority so it means that it's a must. I am budgeting all our expenses and I have to list the things that are of high priority.

Sweetie, i have tried the list. Either i miss something on that list or i get something that is not on the list. Why bother? I do my shopping without one these days. TATA

We always make a list, it helps us remember all we need, but it doesn't help us from buying things we don't need. Guess that's just part of life, buying things ya don't necessrily need, but do want. Though I am sure there are a lot of people who can withstand and not impulse buy.

I have tried this way but I can never stick to the list and now I buy my can goods at the 99 cent store which is much cheaper than the grocery store I can get two cans of corn or peas for 2 for 99 or sometimes two for 79 cents and then I will go to the grocery store for other things like meat and tissue and things like that but I always end up forgetting something every time.

I make a list and stick to it. My husband knows that if he wants something it must go on the list or it does not get bought. He was not used to this. When his mom went shopping she just knew what to buy she never had a list. I remember the first time my husband and I went shopping. He wanted me to buy him a bag of chips well it was not on my grocery list and he forgot to write it down. Well, when I came home with the groceries he asked me where are my chips and I told him sitting on the shelf at the store. We go grocery shopping every Saturday and I make a list every Monday and it sits on the fridge. He knows that if he wants something he needs to take the list off of the fridge and write it down. This taught him a lesson and now he writes down what he wants.

I have been to Canada, and found it breath taking. I would much rather live there than the UK. There is nowhere near the corruption level and the banking greed that there is here.

I always use a paper list. I go shopping once a week.if I don't write down what I need , I will forget what to buy. But I only list non food items and some foods that are on sale or I Know I want that week. But I don't list All the food I buy. at the end, after I got all the items on my list, then I decide In the store what I Want to eat that week. So half my items are listed and the other half isn't

The list is in my head. The only time I take a paper list is if I'm getting ingredients for something I'm making that I wouldn't normally buy. Once in a while I forget something, but usually not...

i also do not make a list of things to buy when i go shopping. maybe because i, or we, me and my wife usually go shopping on regular basis and so we only buy little things and do not need to make a list. sometimes we do make a list if we shop for a lot of things. i think it saves time in shopping aside from saving money.

i don't. usually i make a list if i have forget the thing after going shopping twice. so i have to list it so i don't forget it. i know this is bad, i cant save money just like u do. i have tried to make list before but unfortunately, it did not work

Hello my friend....... My mom also made us shop to local store with list when we are child. We have to buy all stated in that list if not we go to others store to find the rest. I remember its always fun to go shop because I can use the exchange money to buy candy or snack. Today I make list list because we have to buy so many thing in our monthly grocery. List made us more organised and faster in collecting thing. but we always buy something not in the list for specific reason like special price or its new in the market.

Yeah I know of a few people who do this, I have tried, but I find it easier to go and walk round to get the things I need. Plus the other thing is that when I write a list like for grocery shopping I tend to forget the order in which the isles are in the supermarket, so if I follow a list in the order that I write it, I end up walking up and down the isles and it takes me longer. If I could write a list based on where things are in the shop I would be laughing and would get my shopping done in no time, and probably spend a lot less too.

Hello ET28LV thanks for adding me to your friends list. yes this method is very popular here in my city or in my own country too. i think it is very common method in all over the world. i live in Pakistan and i have seen that here in Pakistan they do this. when we go out and we write all the things on the paper so we may not forget any thing otherwise we will have to go again and buy them. take care

I mark off what we have used at home, so that we know what we have to buy by virtue of the list of our used items. Simples!

Hi, ET. I use a paper list to help me remember the things I want to be sure to get. That list is the main reason that I went to the store in the first place. If I see other things that I want or need, it is OK. I buy them if my budget permits it and if I have the time to shop. I am older now, so the list helps to keep me on the straight and narrow so I don't come home with everything but what I went out to get. Also, by making a list, I get to take inventory at home. That way I do not buy doubles of what I already have.

I only go to maarket once a week and so I have a list that we have put together whenever we have found we need something. This is my guide in the market and keeps me from spending on unneeded items.

Yes I absolutely must have a list when I do my grocery shopping and the rule is that I am not to buy anything that is not on the list! There are two reasons why I do not shop without a list, the first one is that I would inevitably forget a lot of the things I need and the second one is to save money by not purchasing unnecessary items. So, yes a list is a must for me!

Going to the store with a shopping list is a great tool to use when you are trying to watch your budget. When we did a complete overhaul of our finances last year, this was one of the things that we did to help us save money. I will start off when I am shopping I will go to the store that has the cheapest prices and also the most limited selection. Then, I will go across the street to WalMart and fill in the rest of the shopping list. I don't make nearly as many impulse purchases as I used to make.

Hi ET28LV! I am actually not doing that listing things really... but that is also good, in that way surely you will not forget anything at all... What I always do since I am the one deciding what to buy really, I just go to all the sides and aisles of the grocery store, in that way i wont miss anything... I would be reminded when i see the items on display...

I hate shopping to begin with, so my husband does it all for me. I check out the flyers, whats on sale and then make a list. We do save money this way as he wont buy anything thats not on my list.
