Question of the Day, Saturday, April 6

Happy Weekend!

Do you make a grocery list before shopping? Or do you "wing it"? Do you use coupons at all?

I pretty much keep a running list. As I open the last container of something, I add it to my list. I use my list primarily for shopping at Sam's Club, but if I need milk or Rick needs creamer, I'll make a short Giant list. I use digital coupons for Giant runs. When we get the Sam's booklet, I'll check to see what's on sale and add those items to my list if I need them.

How do you shop for your groceries?

Groceries? Hmmm. Is this the thing where people buy food they are t going to immediately eat? So confused.

i make the list gf takes care of the rest

 

[Margot Lane]

I always make a list, then, likely as not, lose the list somewhere along the way & wing it.

Now that it is just me, I just wing it. When the kids were still at home I kept a list as well as look at the different ads.

I keep a running list and clip digital coupons for the list items but I also wing it if I see a great deal.

We make a list, and use coupons- Michele loads them on her phone, while I prefer the paper ones. I seldom just wing it, and only buy necessities. Those little 'extras' can sure add up in a hurry.

If it's a big shopping I make a list and use coupons. DH likes to check the local sales before we go.

As I run out of or low on things throughout the week, I add them to a handwritten list. I download digital coupons and use those and Kroger Pay on my phone during checkout. I don’t really do impulse shopping unless I see a regularly purchased item on sale.

 

[klunick]

Definitely make a list. My grocery app has digital coupons that I use. I don't shop in person anymore. Do it online and schedule a pick up for the next day.

I kinda keep a running list and when a need comes up I try and remember to add it.I used to be religious about using coupons but they don't come with the paper anymore,so I guess that's a no.

 

[allmykitties]

I'm back on my diet, so definitely a list maker (and coupons whenever possible).

When not on my diet, I tend to be a little more "wing it", but it usually ends up being less than ideal as far as what I purchase.

 

[Willowy]

I have a list app on my phone and add to it whenever I think of something. I have a separate list for each store I go to.

If I didn't have a list I'd forget everything I actually needed and would buy everything I didn't actually need.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

Since switching to grocery pickup DH and I mostly just add stuff as we go. Then Sunday evening I text DD and ask DS what they need or requests they have for breakfast and lunch.

occasionally I do make a list for other stores on my phone.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

I rarely go into the grocery store and do a lot of pickup orders, so a listed isn't needed. When I do go in the store, I do write out a list because once I'm in a store, my mind goes completely blank and I can't think about anything, especially not meal planning.

I have been working on cleaning up my diet for a while now. Not so much for weight loss though I have lost a little weight, I was starting to get some borderline high blood pressure readings. I stick to the outside ring of the store. I only go down a specific aisle if I need something like a spice or dried herb that I don't have. It definitely helps with avoiding the things that I shouldn't have.

I don't do the primary grocery shopping . My DW handles that. Though when I go I usually take a list. Where does one find digital coupons ?

 

[nurseangel]

I do make a list, especially since DH does most of the shopping. He has done most of the cooking recently. Though I love to cook, both are greatly appreciated.

 

[catloverfromwayback]

Rarely, these days. I don't have to buy much, mainly breakfast and lunch food and bathroom stuff for myself - dinner is supplied by the village and P&D's food and meds are bought online.

i use a list but order 24 hours in advance so i can add on if need be.
