Hello fellow Lotters its been days I think since the last time I created a discussion , I miss every one here . So how is everybody? I have a a shirt story to share . I went to the market this morning , we ran out of groceries and mom can't do the grocery that's why I am in charge. I have a long list to buy at the market . What's in the list? Pork meat, chicken meat, ground pork, bread, eggs, cheese, some fruits and vegetables, and spices . I listed them up before heading to the market, I only have two thousand pesos .I will make some adjustments when I get to the market.If there's a change that's the tine I will buy som extras.I'll buy the important ones on the list first . That's my strategy.How about my fellow lotters, whqt's your strategy and style to stay on your budget?Do you list them down too?

I try to stick to my list. Picking up stuff not on the list is where the bill shoots up.

It’s always good to see you pop in here on Mylot. I usually order my groceries online, and I order necessities first, and I’m always hoping there is enough left for a six pack of Coca Cola because, I’m unfortunately, addicted to that soda.

Your title made me remember my colleges days. The introductory, Marketing 101. I no longer lists down what I needed to buy because I'm already familiar what I needed. My mother always does the listing like that and I only gave her the additional budget then it is my brother who go to the grocery and market.
