I do the same. As soon as I use something up or think of something i need or want I add it to the list. I'm so anal retentive I even arrange the list in the order of part of the store the products are in from entrance to exit.

I rarely have an empty list - even after leaving the store. I sort my lists by type of store or particular sets of items. And then I try to clump the items by aisle/category.

Yep, sounds very similar :)
I grew up with parents that just went to the store and bought whatever they saw and it drove me nuts with all the waste. I rarely if ever buy something I don't end up using. Keep up the good work!

That's very admirable and organized.

Sigh;~)

I went into Wegmans one time for four things, left with 4 bottles of wine and one thing I needed :). It's called the Wegmans Paradox..

I've never been to a Wegmans....I don't trust myself!

Yeah.. It's bad.. Very very bad.. Stay away for your own good!

I know!!

That sounds like an amazing place to shop. Is it one of those discount places for the never have the same thing twice? When my husband and I were little they had wigwam stores in Seattle.

Men are hunters when it comes to shopping they have their target they hit their target they go. Sigh they missed so much fun.

That's what we do when we go to Costco. I emailed him the list he gets the stuff why I graze the items.

I'll wander around the store KNOWING there was something else but I won't remember it until I go home.

Same here!

Same here sometimes if I'm really lucky I'll see something that jogs my memory.

It's a good idea.

minutes I'm likely to forget. The day before I shop, I look at ads for the 2 groceries I go to weekly, & add any stuff on sale that I want to get. There's also a "favorites" list in the app, where I keep a list of stuff I want to always have on hand.

I go through that list & add to my shopping lists as necessary. I also take a look at any paper or online coupons. The day I shop, I take a quick look at my fridge etc. to make sure I haven't missed anything. It all sounds complicated, but it's a

routine that takes just a few minutes to do, in total. The most important thing, though, for my feeble brain, is to put things on the list *immediately* when I think of them. Having the list on my phone makes that even easier; it's always with me.

What's the name of the app you like? I've tried a few but keep going back to a single page in my Notes app titled "shopping."

I've been using Groceries IQ. It's not perfect but it's good. I especially like that I can make multiple lists, & for each list I can arrange the "aisles" (categories) differently for different stores, so the list stays "in order" for shopping at

each store, more or less.

I've used others, one that I liked better until an update ruined it, but even with a couple annoying features Grocery IQ seems to fit my needs best. I'd never do very well with a simple list.

Yes, I use Grocery IQ also and like it. Very handy.

Susan I have a master Cosco list on my phone. I have things like half-and-half and eggs and a few other things by every month. And cheese always cheese.
