Do you have a shopping list?  |
|
 Do you create a shopping list before you got to shop? I usually do because i am a person that will tend to over shop and end up buying things that i do not need but bought on impulse. Thus i create my own shopping list, withdraw the amount of money that i need to control myself from spending extra. I find that this method help my save quite alot.

1.  James72 (6942) | 1 year ago |  My wife and I always try to do a shopping list but nine out of ten times we end up getting to the supermarket and realize that neither of us have remembered to bring it! lol. It is definitely easier to be disciplined when you have a list.

| 3. nanayangel (4229) | 1 year ago |  Hi there Antzon!
Yes, I always make a shopping list before I shop because I have bad memory and if I don't, I am most likely to forget some things that I need to buy.

| Antzon (111) | 1 year ago | Thanks for sharing. And yes having a shopping list will help you remember things better as mostly when i go shopping i am drawn towards new stuffs, advertisments and most of the time it makes us forget what we are buying. However the more important thing is to bring the list with you. LOL | |

| 4. lemuelkoh (80) | 1 year ago |  Hey Antonio,
i am surprised you are using a grocery list to shop. Why not use electronics to assist you in spending money wisely? I know the iphone has a shopping list program to help you estimate your costs and reminds you to buy important goods. I would recommend you to go NTUC, a neighborhood shopping complex. They have discounted goods and if you buy in bulk they will give you more discounts then you can ever dream of. I know what you mean when you buy things on impulse. Once i walked past the shaver's corner and they were having a sale for every 5 pieces you buy, they will give you another 5 pieces free. Strangely, i bought 5 pieces and wondered why i needed so many shavers in the first place. It is not as if i had so much hair to shave. Well you could control your spending habits by shopping online, they will deliver your goods at a flat rate of around 10 bucks with an order not less than 150 dollars. The bad thing is that they always give you the oldest products, as in products which have been on the shelf longer than others. I know, they are sneaky little bas- turds.Another thing to take note of is that you cannot buy milk or any other diary product such as yakult. Why not ask a female to shop? Females are excellent shoppers and you can always trust a woman with finances. Have you ever seen michael jackson shopping? He just points at what his eyes like and his guys will bring everything back home. It is amazing how rich people shop like money is endless.Alright, finish liao. Knn chao chee bye. See you around antonio!

| Antzon (111) | 1 year ago | Wow, thx for your long and informative respond. Yea, normally those advertisers and promoters will try their best, create a really good deal and talk you into buying them however we normally does not need those products just like that example of the shavers you have gave. | |

| 5. madasp (457) | 1 year ago |  Its funny because as I'm reading your post I have my list in front of me. I'm going later today and I have to have a list or I forget everything and have to go back and I always end up buying junk I don't need if I don't have a list.
I use cash and bring only what I'll need plus maybe 10 dollars incase of a really good deal for something I can stock up on then I leave check,cards etc at home so I can't be tempted. I also eat before I leave and most importantly I NEVER bring hubby! He's an impulse buyer and my total is usually double when he's with LOL

|
| Antzon (111) | 1 year ago | Yea, cards are usually the problem that leads to buying junks as you cannot feel the pain when your money is being "deducted" because you cannot see it physically, however when you spend cash you usually see for yourself how much you have left and feel the "pain" if you spend too much and my wallet gets thin.:P Thx for sharing. | |

7.  Sam334 (114) | 1 year ago |  Well, I used to have a good list of items...
Cabbage, Meat, Potato, Carrot. Basically, chicken stew of the like, and one small bowl of rice in the soup... It's what I love to eat, when I have to cook myself or something.
Then again, once in awhile i use the tidbitZ list, with a chocolate, 2 potatochips and 1 or 2 litres of drink. Just so you know, these actually finished in a day or two before I even opened them. Heh.

| 8. sysco252 (25) | 1 year ago | to answer straight to ur problem statement, i will say that what is more important is to focus and solve the root of the problem. and financial planning is the medicine to the root of the problem. u have to plan ahead of what u will need and calculate the sum out. afterwhich u divide accordingly and make the necessary calculations and decide if you are able to spend more or just buy the necessary stuff that u need. if you are able to spend slightly more, then why not? therefore the medicine to the root of the problem is not a shopping list or an amount of withdrawal. but rather it is a beforehand financial calculation that draws u to the next step of shopping list and money withdrawal. financial calculation is also a measure of your spending freedom and restriction. | |

|
| Antzon (111) | 1 year ago | i believe a shopping list is a part of financial planning as you plan what you buy. Its a easier way to control how much you spend and a relatively good way to discipline yourself. Of course a good financial planning will be better in the long run.:D thx for sharing. | |
|
|
| sysco252 (25) | 1 year ago | well, i do agree with you. i would just like to commment that having a shopping list is a smaller scale of financial planning. while having a financial calculate over a period of time is on a larger scale basis. therefore, what is needed is to look at the larger scale before narrowing down to the smaller scale as mentioned in my 1st reply. to see the restriction of spending through calculation would induce a stronger disapline then just a shopping list as the shopping list may be a little lenient that you may think "nvm lah, just spend a bit more also ok one". | |

10.  benita2008 (100) | 1 year ago |  I scarcely create one. If I need something, I would go out for it. I almost don't buy too many things at a time, because I'm not rich so that I can just buy what I really need.
