I am a horrible shopper.

I always forget something at the store. Most of the time, it isn't something I desperately need so I can just wait and get it later. But once in a while, it is a life or death situation. Like this morning. I drank the last of my coffee yesterday, and I made a note to myself to go and get some before today. Well, life has a way of happening and making you forget all about stuff. Like coffee. And being out. And needing to go to the store and get some. Until you wake up the next day and stumble into the kitchen to make coffee only to realize you never did go get coffee yesterday.

Yes and since the roofers showed up and I was busy with them all day I kind of forgot I needed to go get coffee until this morning...which I just came back from the store and it is in the coffee maker right now.

@JolietJake Now that is good.Why is that you wait till it is finished to buy the new batch? You can buy when there is
Coffee left for two days.

I hate it when I do that, especially with something like coffee or tp

TP is worse when you live alone, there is no one else to blame for being out

I have a stash of instant. Not as good, but if we ever, heaven forbid, run out of coffee, I have backup.

I've got some Maxwell House instant if something happened that I couldn't get any of what I usually drink...

@JolietJake You sound just like me only mine is always something I have specifically gone out for. It took me weeks to remember salt once .. maybe my mind was telling me that it's bad for me!

Coffee was the only thing I needed to get, but I got very busy and never made it to the store.

it always happens to me.. even if i write down the things i would need to buy, the worst thing is to find out that i lost my grocery list when I'm already there..

I don't normally lose it, but lots of times I leave 
it sitting on the computer desk when I leave for the store.

@JolietJake I've a simple solution for you so you will not run out of coughee at the last minute. Buy 2 packs of your favourite coughee and put one in the kitchen. Hide the other pack in the store, bedroom, garage or wherever it's safe. Always prepare your coughee from the one in the kitchen and remember to replenish. In extreme case when you really run out of coughee because you forgot to buy then you can go get your emergency pack from wherever you hid it!

Jake, is this one of your multiple personalities? You are a man of many "names."

Make a list...that's what I do
I'm pretty forgetful so for the past few years I carry a little notebook in my pocket all the time.
I write shopping lists in that.
So far I've not forgotten to take the book with me

Why the sudden change of name? And the style of writing as well?

I always get a bunch of stuff I don't need, but forget the thing I actually went in for.
