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?


 

Most grocers have their weekly circular available online.

Re: Grocery Shopping

[ Edited ]

I generally have a grocery list when I go shopping, and clip the coupons online so don't have to cut them out. 

 

 One other thing I've found that's also very helpful, is keeping my recipes on Google Docs.  Boy, do I love Google Docs!   They are always accessible from my cell phone, and many times if I'm planning on making something, all I have to do is look the recipe up on my Google Docs where they're all my recipes are sorted into categories. Takes but less than a minute to do it.

@qualitygal- I always go through the mailed grocery ads and make a detailed list as my hubby does the grocery shopping.  I list all like items together on the list along with the prices and the $ amount if there is a digital coupon discount.  We don't get paper coupons anymore.  The 2 big grocery stores post their digital coupons on Wednesday for the week so I click on them and it shows up on our receipt when we list our phone#.  Hubby still misses things but usually does very well.  A grocery list is a must for us.

@SoCal Bred So do I! Done it for years. My son does the same thing. I found out years ago it saved me a lot of backtracking.

@feline groovy  In days of yore, I might stop on the way home to just pick up some milk and half & half, get home with a half dozen other things, but no milk or half & half.

I use online Walmart delivery and I always go to past purchases and add to my cart the things I usually buy. I like that part a lot.

Yesterday I had a free express delivery and used it before it expired this year. I placed my order at 10:30 am and had my groceries on my porch at 11:00 am. Wow that was fast.

 

I usually make notes on my calender for things I want and don't order that often so I don't forget anything. I've always been a big note taker esp when I use to work. 

I despise driving now and will do anything not to drive unless I have to go to the pharmacy.

Always follow a grocery list on my phone. I put it in order of where the items are in the store so I can shop and get outta there fast! Hate grocery shopping.
