Shopping List

Yes, I use Reminders on my iPhone. I don't think it's very necessary because I can usually remember everything I need to get but sometimes it's nice to have in case I forget something.

Well I have a small note book in the shelves near dining table, my wife and others are instructed to note down the grocery requirements there, every Monday i call my supplier, read out the list, he delivers every thing at door step lol Thanks for sharing

I do sometimes but I need to do it all the time because I am very forgetful when it comes to shopping. It takes one distraction to get my mind off of what I am getting. I can get a phone call from home telling me to not forget something and instead I actually forget what I went in the store for.

Zoe, same like you i only write shopping list whenever i do grocery shopping. If i go shopping for clothes, i don't do any listing at all. Because it is depending on my choice of pattern and sizes. If i can't found the same like what i want, then i won't buy any clothes at that time. I tried not to waste any of my money into any unwanted thing.

I make a menu for the week and then I shop by the menu. Actually, what I do is ask Mom and the kids what ideas they might have for dinner for the following week (we eat no meat, so that is never on the shopping list). After I get their input, I check the cupboards to see what we have in the pantry and then I proceed to make the menu. Sometimes I have to replace dried goods like beans because I like to make sure we always have all kinds of dried beans on hand. If anything happens that we can't get to the store for a couple of weeks, at least we'll have some beans to eat. Once I have the menu, I will look it over and see what foods we need to get from the store. It works out really well. I've been doing this for a month, and although I don't have the food budget quite where I want it yet, we are getting there. It is getting better and I'm becoming better at making the menu. Yes, it helps a lot to have a list when I go shopping. Today I only picked up two things not on the list (borax and yogurt for my Mom) I like making menus and shopping from the list and trying to save money. Soon I will have this down and will still have money leftover at the end of the month for the food budget.

I am not fond of shopping,but when I must go, I make a list so that I can get into the shop and get out as quick as possible. It helps saving money too if you know what to get inside.

I do manage a shopping list if I feel that I would be forgetting on things that I have planned to buy. but then, this doesn't happen very often as I do not go shopping much. But then, the list works best when I am going for the grocery shopping with my mom. When the list is big, we tend to leave out a few things here and there, so the list certainly works well for me in such situations.

Hi friend, i am also in your sort, i like to write the list before shopping. My wife always prepare the shopping list before going to the super market, it is good to prepare the list to avoid the last minute tension

Yes I do that when I do shopping for grocery and during christmas. It helps. :-)
