I go there and fill it up,but i dont grocery shop much cause i always eat out.lol
-
A list. A list in order of where the items are in the store too. I hate grocery shopping with a passion therefore I do what I can to minimize my time there.
-
I make a list of everything I know I have to have then what ever else ends up in the basket, goes home.
-
how ironic, i was just talking about this at work today lol. i make a list because i know that a) ill forget what i really need when im there and b) ill be tempted to get other things i DONT need (and i dont poop out 20's unfortunately) so yeah i stick with the list
-
I make a list before i leave but get in the store to realize i forgot my list! Luckily it does help me remember better once I get there.
-
I have the list and a stack of coupons too. This usually takes me several hours to organize and plan a grocery shopping "event". The most I saved in coupons was $63 dollors, but the average is normally around $20 to $40. I do this twice a month. For the in between times, I just go and fill my basket with the few things I need.
-
I shop daily ... buy as I need! but I usually go for a couple of items and end up with many more. starting without a basket, then before you know it i'm a juggler ...
-
I usually buy the same things so I remember what I need to buy.
-
I don't use a list - I'm a big boy now. I do have to go back the next day for the stuff I forget, though.
-
I often write a list but never take it with me. That is why I always seem to come home with all cleaning stuffs and puddings with no meals.
-
I use a list. I have a grocery inventory that is very detailed right down to cupcake papers. :) My pantry stays fully stocked and I am able to cook nearly anything at any time.
-
I generally remember everything on the list. Sometimes, I can add the items it in my head before I get to the register.
-
I live in the forest, so I don't go grocery shopping. In fact, I have no money! It can be tough, but I can get along fishing, hunting, and occasionally stealing things.
-
When I remember to take the list with me I get everything on it.
-
For smaller trips where I just need to grab milk and perhaps a few things, I just go. A "Major" shopping trip I make lists for, take the lists, and get the things on it.
-
I can remember the shopping list. Oh wait a minute, I forgot the eggs.
-
I remember all I need. I also take the sales flyer with me.
-
I write a list, and then leave it at home. The writing part is what makes it stick out in my head. We always end up buying way more than we need, though, so if we forget a few things, we'll be okay.
-
negative i have to make a list or else i go crazy trying to remember what i don't and do need.
-
I make a list and then forget it. I call my kid and ask him to read it to me while I'm at the store. So far, he hasn't hung up on me!
-
As I keep forgetting the one thing I need at the grocery store, I decided to make a list...but then, I forget the list as well! So I gave up!
-
I nearly always have a list.
-
Both. It depends.
-
I only use a list if there are more than 5 things that I MUST get, like for a recipe or a party.
-
I usually don't decide what I want until I'm there... if I really need a few items, I sometimes jot them down but most likely end up forgetting the list.
-
I make a shopping list. most of the time.
-
I go up and down the aisles.
-
Make the list - otherwise you can blowout the cost of your visit to the grocery store.
-
Up and down the aisles....Miss out on the bargains with a list!!
-
Make a list, forget it at home, then go ↑ and ↓ and → and ← and then forget half of the stuff I needed. :(
-
Since I have few funds at this time...what is on the list is what I get....
-
I do both. I have a list and, when I have time, I go up and down the aisles. I'm mostly looking for good sales and for things I have coupons for. Not all the sales are in the store ads.
-
I make a list but its a mental one....
-
I always make a shopping list, otherwise I would forget to buy half the stuff.
-
I make a list of the things I need, then go up and down the aisles and load the cart up anyway. :)
-
I make a list to make sure I get what I really need...then go up and down the isle to get the things that I really want, and dont need.
-
Both in a sense... I will list the things that I NEED to buy and buy things while I walk through the aisles
-
No list for me, but I go to the store basically every day; if there's something that I constantly forget I'll write it down.
-
List. Definitely a list. Or else i would be going back and forth all day.
-
Oh I always make a list. Things to get now, things to get later and Things you don't get even if it is put on the list.
-
I don't write an entire list, but if I notice I'm running out of something the night before or something I will put a note in my mobile phone about it.
-
Nope, I trust myself to remember what I need to buy. Most of the time I don't forget.
