Do you make a list when you go out on errands? shopping?

It depends on the things I need to accomplish or buy. If there are only less than five, I don't make a list because I won't be needing them but if it's already beyond, I'll make it. I never trust my memory with longer items.

hello there kiran. before i do wrote list on things i would do or buy but now i often forgot to do it. that is why i sometimes i over expense. and i notice that when i don't have a list i i buy things that i don't need.i often mistaken my wants to my needs. so i would suggest to others to have their own list. this is one way of having a nice budget. i will also go back to this routine of mime. thank you for reminding me of this. nice topic.... have a nice day...

Hello,
I always make myself a list cuz I am a very forgetful person, so list is the best for me. everyday I have to write down who should I pay today and what should I need today... It will help me move fast than without a list.

I dont make a list for errands....that is a good idea though....and I dont make a list when i just go shopping...but I always make a list for the grocery store....whenever I go without a list I come home with all kinds of stuff mostly that I didnt even need.....so I always go by a list for groceries....lol...a couple days ago I ran out of paper towels...so I left for the dollar store to get paper towels...They didnt have any I liked but I bought a bunch of stuff there...then I decided to stop at food lion for the paper towels....an hour later I got home and was unloading all the groceries and remembered I was supposed to get paper towels.....lol....lists are good!

i have to have an outline of what im supposed to purchase then i have the list& again i have to carry some extra cash for petty items..after which i have to do the shopping as per my list after which i will get some petty items afterwards..

I try to make lists when I go shopping - if I don't I spend a lot more money.

I do make a list in fact i keep a running list going all the time. I hate it when i forget my list which i do sometimes. I always get things that are not on my list but at least with the list i get essentials. I try not to go to the store too often & that keeps me from spending too much money.The more often i go the more i spend. I use coupons when i have them, buy markdown meat & freeze it & look out for the bargains if there is such a thing anymore.

I also make lists but somehow lately I always leave something and have to go back. It´s usually the kind of things you don´t buy every day. But as I love to cook, I have to have some special spices and ingredients. I use them in small quantities so it´s not that expensive and adds the touch of class to the dish.
As for shopping for other things, thats easy: I don´t. I have clothes for 40 years and some new ones that are only 5 years old. But don´t think I dress like a pauper: it´s like cooking: a matter of style
I´m retired so that makes things easier. I write at home, do myloting, earn some money online for my vacations, fight with my dog. Everything is done frugally around here.
Happy posting!

I like to manage everything. Shopping is not exclusive. Now I usually go shopping weekly,so it’s very important to me to shop everything I want in one time.
Because our shop store is fixed and almost our food is fixed too, so I make a file on internet and I print a copy what I should shop. So every week before we go to shopping I just click the items we need then everything is done.
I know it’s a little boring but it’s effective. So now I just use less than 1 hour to finish weekly shopping.
