Do you use a grocery list? Do you always remember to take the list & coupons?

Yes, I use a grocery list.  When I shop, it's 90%-95% sales/coupon items.  I have forgotten my list a couple of times.  Thankfully husband is home and takes a pic and sends to me.

I went to Costo yesterday and like a dummy left my written paper list (sometimes I will make one on the phone) on the kitchen counter.

 

DH helped me since I was moving slowly since I'm getting over a sprained foot.  We went up & down all of the aisles and I only forgot one thing! 

 

No coupons though.

I always have a list. I even write the list in the order of the food placement on the aisles. The Albertson's is New Mexico does not have curbside pickup.

 

My grocery stores in Texas have curbside pickup, but I have an ongoing list so I do not forget items. I use that list to place the order.

I don't get coupons anymore unfortunately.

I make a list but sometimes I forget it so I have to go back to the store. I keep everything stocked so I don't have to go to the store as much.

I used to use coupons but have not used them in years. The grocery store here I shop at stopped putting out their weekly ad during covid. You don't know what's on sell until you get there?

@qualitygal   I keep a grocery list in my "Notes" app on my phone and I keep any coupons in my purse - that way I always have both 😊

I thought I was the only one that put stuff on my list in order of where it's at in the store so I'm not running back & forth. After I have a list I have to rewrite it so it's in order. DH thinks I'm weird. I told him I can get in & out a lot faster that way.

I still forget items due to the item not being on my list?

I use Walmart Delivery, so I start making my list on the website  about a week ahead .  I can keep track of what is out of stock and select substitutions. I just add and subtract items till I'm ready to select delivery date and time.  So far it's working and I don't miss hiking around the store.
