Whoops! I Forgot
... at
Grocery Store!Have you ever left
grocery store and said, "Whoops, I forgot one recipe ingredient"? Or, "Whoops, I forgot to use my coupon"? Or even while in
store, "Whoops, I passed that aisle, and now I have to go back"?
Here's a simple technique to help. Use an aisle-by-aisle grocery list. Include coupon reminders on your list.
You could make an aisle-by-aisle template for your store, and then write
items in
proper aisle. Another way is to write down
items in groups, by category. This requires some thought and discipline ahead of time. Most people just jot down
items in
order that they think of them, and they end up with a randomly ordered list.
Alternatively, you could use computer software. Then you can simply select
items and let
computer figure out
aisles. Of course, you'd first have to enter
aisle information into
computer so that it knows what to work with.
