When you go grocery shopping; did you ever forget that one little item after you paid for everything else?

Question

I go to ShopRite and occasionally forget to purchase shampoo or other personal items.

Answer 1

I'll go into the grocery store, and tell myself, do NOT forget to get such and such.

I'll remember as I drive away, OMG! I can't believe I forgot to get such and such

Answer 2

Haha, only all the time! Actually, I found that making a list before I go really does help. But I have to scour the apartment, look in the fridge, the pantry, etc. to make sure I don't miss something! Also my hubby helps with that too, when you live with someone it makes it a little easier. But it does still happen, just a fact of life I guess. : )

Answer 3

That just happened to me last night! I didn't realize it till after I left the store. I ended up going to a different store later on.

Answer 4

I have. Somethimes I can wait until the next time. Sometimes I take my stuff out to the car and come back. I TRY to make a list, but...

Answer 5

Yes, I have. That is why you need to make a list and then bring a pen to cross off items as you put them in your cart.
