Grocery Shopping Lists

Grocery Shopping Lists
I read about this idea in Real Simple about 4 years ago and built my own food shopping lists. I have 2 shopping lists for the stores where I do most of my shopping, Fry's and Costco. You can access these Word files if you'd like to use them yourself. I tried to make the lists in order of how I walk around the store, but some things have been moved and I have not updated the list. It's pretty close though!

How I use Them:
I hang them up on the fridge and as I run out of things or think of things I need to buy I mark it on the list. When I do my weekly menu I already have my staples on the list and can easily mark the boxes as necessary. Having a list simplifies the process and keeps me from buying things I don't need or just plain want and can't afford.

If you have a list and would like to share it I would love to see it. Also, if you use your lists differently and want to enlighten me I'd love it! Always looking to improve my process...

I LOVE that pic of Amelia! Seriously, she is gorgeous! I got all the clothes from Robin..thank you SO much! They are all so adorable. There are some that won't match up with seasons, so I put them back in the bag. As London outgrows the others, I'll just put them back in your bag. Do you want me to hold on to them to get them back to you or pass them on elsewhere?
Lets do a Christmas girls night so I can see your face soon!e

I would have to agree with Becki, I'd like to comment on your girls costumes, but there is no comment box there ... so it's going here. Seriously adorable, and pics really show their personalities O(which is probably why you chose those them).

Thanks for the lists. I shop at those two places too. We have strangely similar lists ... maybe you should just start doing my shopping when you do yours. Makes perfect sense to me. :)
