Sometimes I leave my grocery list on the dining room table. ThereĀ“s always at least an item I forget..

I tend not to use shopping lists for that very reason. I'll either forget I have it or forget it at home. Neither does me any good. So I rely on my memory and for the most part it does me well. I do forget things and if they aren't important they can wait until the next shopping trip. There's always a next time.

Yes, there is always a next time. I have been saved from a multitude of baking experiences by forgetting ingredients.

@GardenGerty I was just briefly in a grocery store today and forgot to look at molasses like I was going to.

@GardenGerty That's beneficial to your waistline.

I have left behind the shopping list given to me by a client. Now that is what I call a challenge. Sometimes I manage to get everything they wanted. Other times, it is hit and miss.

@GardenGerty It has only happened a couple of times. The only time I begin to panic is when it is a new client.

I think that tops anything I might have done.

Poor Princess. Has to depend on humans to get her treats. A grocery list doesn't do ya a bit of good left in the purse. I have done that several times.

Yes, if she could shop on her own she would. I think it is really common to not carry the list we write.

@GardenGerty ....I'm sure she would. It is among Murphy's Laws I suspect.

I recycle papers and cut them into quarters or smaller. Actually I tear them.

You are right, it does not do much good if we don't look at it but it does help the memory as you only forgot a couple of things. But how could you forget treats for Princess?

While the weather was hot she did not want them. It is just now getting cold so I am out of the habit of buying them.

I do that too. I imagine writing the list does help me remember, though.

I made one, and then left it on my desk. I did ok, couldnt find 2 things, and forgot one.

I get frustrated when I cannot find something I really want. More so even than when I forget them.

We seem to have run out of things today too. Luckily Vince is going to town tomorrow so he will be able to stock up.

I am pretty sure I could go without shopping if I needed to, but might get very bored.

That is just the problem. Hubby "found" a new top for me last night.

I had to really stick closely to the list when I was young. I spelled out how many dollars I could spend on meat, and how much milk I needed to buy. How many cans of soup I should get.

I don't usually make a list, but when I do...I never get all the things on it.

We put a list in our phone-but forget to check it, so something is always forgotten.

Why write in the list. You can write in your notes in phone. I do it frequently. Lol

I always write a list when I go shopping. I hold it in my hand at the store, and faithfully forget the key ingredients for dinner, every. single. time. I think it's because I get side-tracked when I hit the craft section, and bakery section of the store. :)
