Title: Shopping List
Post by: elysee24 on August 31, 2012, 07:30:58 pm
Do you have a shopping list when you go shopping?!
Today I went to store, planned to get kiwi and flour but instead I got other stuff and didn't remember them till I put everything away at home!!
I think I need to start having shopping list with me!!

I usually will only make a list when needing 5 or more items.  I can always add-on at the store.

I have attempted to make a list, but I almost never follow my list. I end up going over my budget.

I always take a list. Otherwise I always forget something. And with gas prices the way they are, I try to avoid making multiple trips to the store.

Always shop with a mental list of necessities, and also end up with a few niceties. I don't follow a rigid list, and always buy seasonal veggies and fruits.

I always have a list and next to each item, I put the estimated price in parenthesis next to it so later when I'm in the store---I have an idea of how much the item should cost to stay within my budget.  If the item costs way more than I estimated, it stays at the store.  I've gone shopping without a list before and I overspent and brought home unnecessary items every single time...and then had to go back to buy items I had forgotten.  I can't go shopping without a list.

 I use a shopping list for things I definitely need and wouldn't remember, but I still buy impulse items also.

These days I have to use a list. My budget is set and I can't go one item overboard.

No, I don't use a list.  I also just like to wing it while in the store.  What really seems to be cool to me is when I have seen new products in the store that were subjects of these surveys I have taken.  That gives me a little chuckle.

i ALWAYS make a list.

remembering to bring the list WITH me is a different story  ;)
and sometimes, even if i have the list, i'll forget something!

Yes I use a shopping list because of this same reason you want 2 items when you leave the house and buy other things and not the things you went there for. :BangHead: :D

that would be a great idea but did you notice you still remembered to get other things and not this item? Just sounds like something you did not need in terms of having things to eat or fill your pantry.

I am starting to have to create a shopping list whenever I go out to go shopping because I find myself always forgetting to get the things I need and instead get the things my eyes are telling me to.

I do the same thing.  I live alone and usually don't have a shopping list but will leave without what I went to the store for.  If I do have a list, I can't read my own handwriting!

i have to take a list.  Though the list from week to week is 90% the same, it is needed to keep me in budget.

I had to start making a list. We are on a tight budget and I am terrible at impulse buying and can go over what I intend to spend.

I take a shopping list but also end up doing a little freestyling once I get to the store lol.  I usually take a list of the things I know I'll forget otherwise.

I use a list.  May occasionally add something if on markdown or at a stockup price.  Use internet ads to make list before leaving home to save time and gas.
