List Making

I want to begin by confessing that I am a chronic list maker. Just about everything I do requires a list.  It makes me feel better and more in control, unless I misplace the list. :( But we won’t go there. Today I need to pick up a few things from the grocery store and I thought I would share my grocery list with you. There are many different types of grocery lists in blog land but I made my own that works best for me.  I started by listing the items that we use most often. I change this list as I find new things or things that I forgot to add. Here is my current list. 

Next, I put it on the refrigerator and highlight an item when I need more of that item. I also have a list of meals that our family likes to eat. When I plan our meals for the week, I used this meal list to make sure that I have all of the ingredients for that meal. If not, I highlight it on my grocery list. Here is one of my meal lists.

 I find that these two lists make my life easier. It saves me time at the store and I save money when I don't buy things that are not on my list.  Win Win!!
