I always thinks it is better to make list of things we want to buy to avoid increasing the expenses. Do you make list of things you want to buy?

Sometimes I will write down a shopping list before I go shopping. So I won't miss anything. And perhaps I won't buy unnecessary things because of the shopping list. I can buy what I want and then leave. I love China

It is always great to write the things we want to buy. I have missed lots of things I wanted to buy without a shopping list. Now a days I try to make a shopping list when I go for monthly shopping and tries to buy things that in the list only because this helps me to budget the things I need.

Often times I will make a list before going shopping. Especially if there is more that two or three items that I am needing to buy. I find this not only helps me to avoid increasing the expenses but also cuts down on time where I may otherwise wander as I try to remember what it was that I needed. I love to make a list. For many things other than just shopping. Errands especially but also gardening. Keeps things in order and I love checking off the tasks completed.

I do the same thing as long as the stuff I am going to get are over a certain limit. I do not overspend very easily (I think). I find that listing items also saves time and energy and I am able to get somethings I might have otherwise forgotten.

It is always great to make a small list in quick time of what things to be brought.

I often list down the things to buy, to remind me. Without a list, I would probably end up buying things I don't need, and forget to bring back the things that I've run out of stock!

Well I do make a list of what I have to buy wehn I go for shopping but however there is always something that I would forget to include and I would think of buying when I see it while shopping. It does not work for me unless I am short of time and ned to rush then I would not spend much time looking around. But I agree with you, listing down beofre going shopping saves lots of money.

I think it is better to sit and make a list and buy things. I also has a tendency to forget the things I need to buy. Now a days I make a list of things that I need to buy so that I am also able to save money on things that I do not need and is able to buy things I need.

Before I used to make a list of the things that I want to buy.. its not a shopping list for me anymore it is more of a list of the things that I want to buy or save for. Its like the list of my goal.. Goal to buy in the future.. but right now I am more of the impulsive buyer type. I just roam around the mall and if I really love something I cant let it go anymore and my tendency is to buy it already.. :) sometimes its just hard to control yourself but its a good thing I know how to save.. :)
