Who's with me on this?....re: shopping

[Jace]

I like making lists..
and then I leave them on the kitchen counter and
have to guess what's on the list
while I'm at the store (s).

Anyone else?

 

[Betty Boop]

I have done that many of times.

 

[mrstime]

DH writes the list, so I stick in my purse as soon as he is finished with it.

All the time....

Have done that so many times that I now enter grocery and other shopping lists on my phone. Google Keep. I also have a running inventory (and non-sale price) on Keep for foods that are spendy when not on sale. This is for items I use regularly or seasonally and can be held in the pantry or freezer for months. Butter, extracts, and various nuts, for instance. When they go on sale I check my stock and make a decision.

I keep my lists on my phone in the notepad app, which has a check off feature. I never go anywhere without my phone, well except once about a year ago...on the way to Costcos no less!, So I no longer leave my lists at home.

After forgetting to bring lists & buying what I already have too much of, I now tape the list to the front door so I can't miss it.

Same basic thing, Diva. Yet another area of similarity!

When I need to take things with me but worry about forgetting them, I place them (or a related reminder like a cooler if it's for a refrigerated or frozen item) in front of the front door so I can't possibly miss them on my way out.

Good ideal......I'm going to try that!

 

[Alligatorob]

I make no lists, and usually end up buying half of what I need, and a bunch of stuff I don't...

 

[oldaunt]

Since I usually have the list in my hand reviewing to make sure I have everything just before leaving, I rarely forget it.

Sorry, i have a very visual memory so once i've actually written a list i can usually picture it in my mind if i forget it at home.

 

[officerripley]

This darn iPhone won't save a grocery list in the Notes app; got all my usual groceries entered in but it won't save it, everything's gone if I leave the app and get back in, sigh. So paper it is, I guess.

I'm lucky that way too ... if the list isn't too long.

 

[Lewkat]

I usually manage to take the list with me and promptly lose it in the supermarket. Ding dong.

Even with a list, I forget some items.

 

[Remy]

I saw a lady at WINCO Foods and she seemed to have some sort of printed out spread sheet for shopping.

I do make lists or I will forget items especially when I'm buying staple items or going to walmart. I keep the list next to my purse so I don't forget it. Because if I forget the list, I'll forget items.

 

[Gaer]

hahaha! All the time!

 

[Judycat]

Don't need no stinking lists. But yesterday I drove to the gas station and parked at the pump. That's when I noticed I forgot my purse.

Thats where I keep my list, and I still manage to lose it every now and then.

 

[Oldntired]

Gosh, I love to make lists and usually have them on the kitchen table, in my purse, in the car….everywhere! But, I guarantee you I’ll forget to take or use coupons every single time I’m going to or at the store. Every time!!

 

[jujube]

Yes, yes, yes. I'd put the list in my phone, but I forget the phone all too often.

Are you using the note app that came with the phone? Is it possible to download another note app from the app store?

 

[Kika]

I have done all of the above, with varying degrees of success. Only recently have I noticed that if I tell Alexa to add something to my shopping list, the list appears in the Alexa app on my phone! As I buy it, I tap the item and it's gone.
Or I can leave it there, if it is something I always buy.
