Topic: Is a good grocery list important to you? | |
---|---|
honestly I never made one.
I remember growing up my mom always used to make a two paged grocery list and sent me shopping... I always had such a hard time reading her handwriting tho... this was before cellphones were invented, so I was screwed. She used to get soo pissed when I bought the wrong ****, she'd sent me right back out again...lol |

I feel like the odd man out so far. I do not make a list. I plan a weeks worth of meals then shop for whats needed.
For example: Pork chops and potatos, italian sausage sandwiches and chicken tenders and salad. Ok so I have lettuce, green peppers and potatos. I need pork chops, sausage and buns and chicken. I must just think basaquards. |

Whenever I or Sox has a list, written, or by memory, we always try to stick to only what's on the list, nothing more. I have found that usually aisle by aisle up and down the rows can get quite expensive, and you end up buying alot of stuff you could probably do without.

Take your cell phone and call the person who wrote the list if you can't read it or have questions. Sometimes I use a list, and sometimes I don't. It doesn't differ that much from one week to the next. You will see me deep in thought in the middle of the aisle, tho.

awww, i think it's sweet if a man does the grocery shopping for the girl.
i don't think i'd complain, no matter what. i might do it differently next time around, but i'd be so grateful that he cared enough to go, i'd just suck up the grape seeds or eat the lumps in the tomato sauce. i'd broken my toe (on my driving foot) in february and i'd have killed to have someone grocery shop for me, even just 1 measly sack of them, i don't care what they picked. i only make a list if i'm cooking from a recipe i've never used or need to remember something not usually on the list. otherwise, i have a set path to follow, with specific foods to buy and the routine hardly ever differs. |
