Do you shop with or without a grocery list?

  • The store sales papers come on Wednesdays and I always make a list of stuff I need. Always been a habit so I don't forget stuff.

    Hi Rooster~  Then do you go today or did you go yesterday?  I wonder how many post office delivery people know they have such power over when people shop and don't shop?! :) :)

  • I make a list. Keep a pad of paper on my table and when I think of something I need, I write it down! Otherwise, I'll forget something.

  • We create a list for things we don't typically buy every trip. The things we need every trip, like milk, we remember.

  • Usually with. To go without generally means something, usually something important, gets forgotten.

    You are the man! I could not do this unless it was under three items, which is what I am going to say as soon as I make my way down there :) :)

  • I go with general idea but then wing it based on specials and sales.

    I'm pretty good at not impulse buying.  I do on occasion but I try to keep it to a minimum.  I've never really had enough money to just go out a blow.  So, if there is a special and sales, I do the same with the coupon (if I remember to bring it!  Ahhh! ;)) NOoo,  I do remember that if I am going to buy something special. :)

  • I make a list on my smartphone and go to the shop on Sunday morning. If it ain't on the list we don't need it and it don't get bought. 

    (It's OK, Randy, I meant to say it like that.)

    Hi Zack~ Absolutely!  If it's over 3 items, I must write it down.  The problem I have is remembering or finding my list.  1/2 the time I have to call home and ask Don if he has seen it or if he remembers what we needed.  Sad, but true! This post was edited by Merlin at March 2, 2017 7:59 PM MST

    mostly with a list if there are a bunch of things I really need,
    otherwise I forget the most important.

    Always a list on my phone. Then always end up getting other things I see that I forgot to list.

    I create beautiful shopping lists and then go shopping without them.  I'm wondering if there is a med for this.
