Yep. Just last week at the grocery store I forgot to buy bread.

@DesertGems An onion. I went in to buy an onion and came out with about $25.00 worth of groceries and no onion. It happened to me all the time before I started keeping my shopping list on Alexa. Since then, it only happens if I forget to check my phone before checking out.

Without a list, I'm in trouble.

Yep, happens fairly often. Usually I can manage without whatever it was I forgot, but going strictly to pick up a prescription and walking out with a huge basket of groceries, but no visit to the pharmacy? Oh, that's bad.

Without a list, I'm LOST!!! I keep a running list on the kitchen counter. Every time I think of something I need, I write it down. My mom did this exact thing, so I guess I followed suit. Thanks, mom; you're the most genuine person I've ever met!!! ❤❤❤ Looking forward to seeing you again one day.

An onion, making stuffing for Thanksgiving yesterday & discovered I forgot it. I had a bag of them in my cart but put it back because I only needed one & was worried I'd forget about them just like a bag of potatoes that sat & hatched fruit flies..ugh. Made the stuffing without the 🌰 & it was still really good but I hate forgetting things.

Happened today! Went to Costco to buy the plastic food wrap, came home with all sorts of goodies, but no food wrap. By the way, Costco was not busy at all! Guess people were shopping elsewhere.

I think "we all" do it from time to time.

I, too, need a list.

And, I forgot exactly what it was, too. 🤭

Who buys "an onion"? I always buy a bag of them or several at a time. I also must use a list. I add to it every time I use the last of something while in the kitchen, and keep the list on the fridge. I was in education so many years I guess using lists is just a habit I will probably never break. At my age, I need a list now instead of just doing one as a routine.

I don't really like onions very much and rarely use them. So that would be me buying "an onion" once in a while.

Yes, For Thanksgiving I forgot the Vanilla ice cream for blueberry cobbler and my family’s favorite Ocean Spray canned cranberry. Good thing I prep on Wednesday and was able to go back.
