Do you need a note when grocery shopping?

Question

or can you remember everything you need..
I use to but if I don't take a note now
I won't come back with anything I needed..lol

Answer 1

I'm pretty anal when it comes to my grocery list. I have it written out according to the order of the aisles at the store. I have all my coupons paper clipped to the list so I don't have to dig around for them at the checkstand.

Of course, I always manage to forget one thing on the list, and it's usually the one item that I needed the most!

Answer 2

I need a note. That way I get all the stuff that I need and I know I didn't forget anything. But I leave with twice as much because while I'm going to get everything on my list, I always grab things I want on the way by...

Answer 3

I can usually remember everything without a note, but I go from one end of the store to the other and then back because I forget the order.

Answer 4

I try to limit my grocery shopping to once every 2-3 weeks , so I
have a large shopping list and have to write everything down.
I still catch myself every once in a while I skipped one of the
aisles or forget something. I do not save any money not going
every week but grocery shopping is not my favorite thing to do.
I can' t afford it or I would hire someone to do it.

Answer 5

If it's for a whole week's groceries, I gotta have a list. if it's just for a few things I need in between, I can remember. But then I always get more stuff anyway than i meant to ! LOL

Answer 6

well, i guess if you remember what you need to get, you wouldnt need to take a note with you, but just as a reminder it would be necessary to have a note of all the things you need to get in case you forget something. i know sometimes with me that if i dont have a note of all the things i need, i would forget a couple of items and find myself having to go back to get them, which then more time is wasted.

Answer 7

I definitely take a list with me, preferably written in the order of the way the supermarket aisles are, otherwise I'll get all lost and distracted finding what i need, and then I'm sure to buy something i don't need while I'm trying to find what i do need.

Yep, i need a list:)

Answer 8

The only time I need a list is if I am preparing something that uses specific ingrediants, like the curry chicken I am preparing to cook in the crock pot.

Answer 9

When my mother makes out a grocery list, it is laid out exactly the way the store is laid out, so that you can go from one side to the other, and just follow the list. She has always used lists.
