Cooking is one of my favorite activities, and I will spend hours in the kitchen putting dishes and meal together. Some of the more mundane tasks that lead up to cooking, however, simply beg to be simplified and streamlined. Here is how I tackle one of them:
The Grocery List
The Grocery List
I am not one to scour the ads and run to several stores all over town. I have figured out which store in my area has the lowest prices overall and go there every week. Since I am familiar with the layout of the aisles, it is easy for me to write my grocery list in order of how I walk through the store. This eliminates doubling-back to get things, or missing something altogether. Most weeks I do walk through all the aisles, doing a quick check for specials; but if I’m in a hurry, my list tells me exactly which aisles I need to hit and which ones I can skip.
A few years ago I inherited a hand-held electronic device from my husband. There was a “Notes” app on there and it turned out to be the perfect thing for my grocery list. Because it is electronic, I can insert items as I add them, keeping my list in store-aisle order. Saves paper, too!
Of course, the application of Murphy’s Law has resulted in my grocery store undergoing a remodel, and they are in the process of moving everything . . . LOL!
