WFMW - Grocery List


Our closest grocery store just remodeled and during the grand opening handed out printed lists of what was on each aisle. The list was numbered aisle by aisle and listed the items found on each aisle. I took this and made copies of it. Then I hang it on my refrigerator and circle the items as I run out of things. Then on grocery day I take this list and can shop easily aisle by aisle.
I recently decided to go to a different store for some sale items and decided I liked this store's layout better than the other store. I went to the Customer Service counter and asked if they had a similar list and they did! So I took it and made copies of it. Now I hang this list on my fridge!
This is what works for me. For more awesome tips and tricks, head over to Rocks In My Dryer.

That is an awesome idea. Our store doesn't have that, but I've created my own list where I have categories like: produce, canned goods, snacks, dairy...since those things are located on the same aisle of my store.

I even list the things I normally buy under the categories (I noticed the lists the stores produced had things that I never buy) with a box next to it, that I check off when I've gotten it.

I would have never thought to do that! I'm going to the store tomorrow. Be sure that I'll be asking! :)

What an awesome idea! I bet you never have to backtrack through the store like I do!

Oh man I wish our store had done this. It would make shopping so much easier.
