Does writing a shopping list save you money? I mean, if it's something you truely need, won't you eventually get it even without writing a list? Do you tend to write more than you actually need when you write a list?

I don't write lists. I think if I really need something I will get it, and if I want to buy something and I forget about it, it's probably not something I really need.

I'm always going to buy more than whats on the list.
Whats on the list plus whats on sale.

a list is posed to keep you from buying more than you need. I use a list cos I can't remember chit

what store can you buy chit?

I don't make lists,
I just go when I need something.
I actually hate shopping.
I know, I know..a chick who doesn't
like to shop..imagine that.

hmmmm..maybe that's my problem, nobody carries it

I think I love you

I hate shopping too Lori

I make a list because I don't want to forget anything and have to go back again!

I didn't know that was possible.

What will they think of next?

Anyone who has been with me shopping said to me "never again". I know exactly what I'm getting and I'm not stopping to look at anything else and I walk very hastily. The only thing slows me down are good looking women, very rare sight in Walmart..I would categorize them with the UFO sightings..that's how rare.

I make a list because I will forget something and don't want to run back to the store. But then again, I've had the list in front of me and have actually forgotten something on it.

Shopping lists save me money.

I keep 4 lists in my Blackberry "notes" pad:

- Grocery Store
- Target
- Lowe's
- GNC

When I start to run out of something I write it on a list.

Lists keep me focused while I'm shopping and I don't buy crap that I don't need nor do I forget things!

I LUV to shop.
Wander every aisle.
Pinch all the fruit.
Sniff the vegetables.
Check out sales and bulk.
Hit the deli.
Mmmm freshly sliced corned beef.
Bucket of chicken.
Good for a week.

A list would spoil it all.
That is why I have to go back
the next day.

nope i just go in the store get what i need if i forget it then i didn't really need that item

I don't make a list. Or rush through my shopping.I enjoy taking my time.

#1. I first hit the meat dept. Love poking my fingers in the package to make sure the meat smells fresh. So I take my time going through all the sections and poke holes in to smell.
#2. Then on to the dairy section. Open a milk, and take a drink to insure that its not spoiled. Also, with the sour cream, cottage cheese, and cream cheese.
#3. Then to the egg dept. I always take each egg out of the carton and first shake it, to make sure that a chick is not growing inside. Then look it over to make sure it don't have any cracks in it. Then proceed to the next egg.
#4. Then its onto the fruit and veggie section. Do alot of poking, smelling, dropping on the floor for bounce reaction. Rolling across the floor to test their roundness. I hate the oranges that has bumps and don't roll worth a darn.
#5 Then on to the bread section. I like squeezing the bread like it is Charmin. Want to see if it springs back into shape.
Well. Enough told about why I don't make a shopping list. Or. Just go to the store, only to rush through the shopping experience.
