Do you prepare list to buy when going to grocery?

I am also another one person who forget things very easily and i know it is very necessary for me to list down all the things to do and the things to buy. Otherwise, it's really easy for me to forget my things. However, up till now, I'm very lazy about doing it. Acutally, for me, it's not really considered lazy because i have tried writing things that i need. Somehow, before the day comes, that piece of paper gets lost. Either htat, or the list is not complete because i did not write it down immediately after it thought of it. I really need to be more determined to write down all my stuffs. I believe doing so would make me more productive.

I have a list on the items I'm going to purchase going shopping. It makes me stick to list and I know pretty well my expenses. It's good to keep a budget.

I like to prepare list of grocery when going to buy it. It will help us in buying all items in one visit.

I've been doing this for the last two years or so. I decide how many items I want to buy, usually a set of items. Say, if I want to buy 5 kinds of stuffs. If I have more than 5, I would have to decide which to buy for another trip. This is useful if you are on a budget. Also, if you don't bring your car, you don't have to carry so many things with your two hands.

I don't have a list when going to the grocery. But now, I guess I'll try to make some list because sometimes I forget. I didn't list because I only buy those that are needed in the house. But as I age, it seems that I'm already forgetting an item or two. Thanks for your discussion, I'll do what you are doing from now on.

We need a plan before we going to shop. If we didn't do it, we gonna buy unnecessary thing and waste our money. In some condition, I do make list before shopping ( usually when I gonna buy a lot of thing for monthly uses).

I do make lists when I have a specific meal plan for the week. Then I have to make sure I dont forget anything that will be needed so I dont have to run out later for anything. And if anyone has asked for anything special that they want to make or have for snacks. Now I sometimes forget to take the list!! But I have a photographic memory so I remember what I wrote usually. But when my husband goes, I need to send him with the list because he cant read my mind. LOL

i try not to go shopping without a list because if i dont, i always end up buying stuff that i really dont need!

I also need a list or else I will forget at least one or two items. So I make it a point to have a list with me. Sometimes when I forget to make a list, I surely have to go back again to get the forgotten items. This happens everytime, so even if my list is small I make it a point to make one.

i tend to make a list on my fridge as i get low on things...like coffee rice maccaroni....that way i remember to get it before i run out as the nearest store is a min of 15 minutes away....after 6pm its even farther cuz the ones in town close. Also then i know to watch for items on sale. I veer a little from my lists if i find something i know i use often on sale...or fresh produce i like is on sale or actually ready for the season. Sticking to a list exactly saves me money though!

Yes, you are right. We should shop strategically to save our time and money. If we list out whatever we want to buy, we can ensure to purchase everything we want in one trip. Besides, we shall be able to grab all of the necessary items with offer price too.

I do prepare a list and not just a list but also the sum total of it so that I can even make an adjustment once it goes up or down. And when you have a list, it is time saving because you know already where the items you needed are located and yes, you will not forget what you need to buy.

Yes I make a list and frequently I forget it when I go. My family goes shopping for me now.

hai friend forgeting things, it happened with me also while buying groceries, usually i use to prepare list to buy when going to grocery when the list is with more items, some times i wont prepare list, by monitoring i used to buy at that time forgetting things happens

I have a list started! All through th week I add to it and then Right before I go shopping I check what is on sale and see if I need to add more! I have a food and non food list. It makes shopping a breeze! I couldn't do it any other way. Like you, I would forget something.

I do usually because I'm always out of something so I make sure I write down what I'm out of and what is on sale. I also sometimes prioritize it's importance. So like if we were out of ranch dressing for the kids to eat chicken nuggets with, I'd skip it if I didn't have the funds because ketchup would do.

I will always write a list, because it helps me to stop forgetting about things and at the same time it also stops me from buying things that I don't actually need because I make myself just stick to the list and nothing else. I keep a sheet of paper on my fridge during the week and will write down any of the things that we run out of. I will go shopping at the weekend and then half way through the week as well, meaning that I will never be without the things that I need for all that long at all. Being organised with your shopping really does pay.

I always make a list when I am going shopping. If I didn't I would forget to buy half of the stuff I need. I look at the flier and go thru my coupons when I make my list to get the stuff for the best price.

hi:) yes before we do grocery shopping we list all the things that needed to be bought, because when we don't we usually forget what we need to buy or sometimes we bought too much that exceed to our monthly budget for groceries. have a good day friend!

:Yes and No, Previously i did not prepare any list before going to grocery :But now i prepare list but it is not of any use :Because the things which i have noted in the list i take it it is the advantage of the list :But there are some attractive things the are not present that also we purchase it :Eg:- if children is with us they like some thing we cannot avoid or tell them no for some thing to them which may be valid or invalid :Eg:- some women see good offer they wont see to their list just purchase it. So i think some time it is advantage and disadvantage of list For money save we should prepare list
