Write it Down!!!!

We've all gone to the store with a "mental" note and we've all returned home without one, two, three items that we really needed. Make a list! This will save you time, money and your sanity. Have an ongoing list that you can just grab on your way out the door or make a list of "the regulars" on your computer and simply check off what you need. You can get fancy with your list and make categories (produce, condiments, etc) or stores (grocery, drugstore, etc.) if you that helps-it helps me! But the key is to have it written down so you don't leave the store without something. It also helps me to cross off the items once they are in the basket. Then STICK to the list! This will save you time because you're not browsing the aisles and money because you're not buying something you don't need! Give it a whirl and let us know how it works!
