tomorrow is my day for shopping and grocery. i always list all the things i needed to buy. most of the time i forget what to buy. that's why i do list all the things before going to the grocery store. i find it easier when i do my list. it also save my time coz i already know what i want. do you do your shoppinf list before going to the mall or store?

Sometimes I do especially if I would buy things I don't normally buy. Otherwise I just to to the grocery and then visit every section and put on the card just about all the things I normally need at home. I have not much patience in making a shopping list because sometimes even if I make one, I am not even reading it while shopping.

I make a basic list of what I'm going to buy, like for example if I need shoe, I just say I need shoes and go into any shoe store and look for something I like. It makes shopping a little more fun, but a little more tiring too. :P You see new things out, and also you get to look around more. If you have a strict shopping list, then you go to just the stores you need and you get what you want, but you don't know what's new and things like that. You never know while looking around and you find something new, that might be the next fashion and you might be the one to start it.

The night before we plan to go shopping, my husband and I do an inventory of the fridge and pantry, and write down all the things that we need. I print it all out on the computer, to make sure we can both read it. LOL We both have such lousy handwriting that we can't even read our own, let alone eachother's. LOL

Hmmm..not really, I do have a mental list, but when I go to the grocery...that list would be either forgotten or a lot of things will be added in there. lol. Not good budget wise.

Before going on vacation i try to start a list as the weeks come to an end before i leave so therefor i know what i need at the last minute before leaving so i have everything i need and not forgetting things. Now going to the grocery store we make a list at the week goes on and either it stays on the fridge for the week or the counter. Sometimes during the week we have two grocery lists one for the weekend and one for the middle of the week. If we don't write down a list we forget things and then have to run back to the store which is no fun at all so writing down a list sure does help because you can't always remember everything you need to get at the grocery store for sure.
