Do you suffer from Grocery List Syndrome?

Question

You make your list, you even take it to the store with you, and then you don't even look at it, causing you to leave the store without stuff you really needed.

Answer 1

Yes, I do this all the time. Not only do I leave the store without the stuff I really needed, I end up with stuff that I didn't really need. I used to cut coupons and then never bother taking them too.

Answer 2

No. I make a great list and I stick to it pretty faithfully. I work in the store where I shop so I also know where almost everything is and that helps. Once in awhile I forget something but I can just pick it up the next day that I work.

Answer 3

Yeah that's happened to me before and that's pretty bad because we live in a small town and I go into the larger town about 20+miles away once a week for major grocery shopping. We have a little store here BUT it is very expensive.

Answer 4

oh yes this is a clever marketing ploy by the big companies ,they lure you in show you all the nice shiny things spray aromas around the store to arouse your senses tempt you with buy one get one free even if its something you dont normally use then finally you think that you can remember everything you want after all your memory is as good as it was isnt it .then the killer you get home start to put it away and dang yes you forgot that vital thing you wanted either for tonights meal or for your kids school lunches next day ! ah well back to the shop only going to pick up exactly what i need.?

Answer 5

I make the list, take it to the store, look at it, and STILL forget to get the stuff I really needed.

Answer 6

Yes. Best to not go hungry or during busy shopping hours.
Walk into the store with list in hand. Grab the items right away then go back to where you started, walk thru to pick you the additonal items you may need.

Answer 7

I write my list on a big post it note and stick it to the handle of the buggy. I even try to arrange it so that I get everything in order of how the store is set up That way, I don't have to keep going back and forth from aisle to aisle!

Answer 8

No I usually follow the list ....but I hate going to the grocery store !! lol ♥

Answer 9

Even worse I make a list my hubby goes shopping when he leaves I then realize all that I had forgotten, he hates when I call to add more on , so one time I forgot butter which he already knew we needed so rather then remind him directly I called him an asked if the shopping was going smooth as butter? He said I already got it ,It was funny

Answer 10

Sometimes, but I usually try to stick to the list.
