For years, I am guilty of going to the grocery store or supermarket without a list. Just recently I realized that I should have one every time I go shopping..
Having a grocery list helps you avoid buying things that you don't necessarily need. It's either you have them already in your pantry or you don't really need them. During the pandemic I bought a lot of things (by impulse or panic), then went grocery shopping every month or every two weeks without checking the pantry. So the end result: I threw away a lot expired items, which is really a waste of money.
From that time on, I always inventory check our pantry and make a list of the things I need to buy. This practically help me save money. And helped me set a budget for my monthly grocery.
I feel more organized since the time I started making a shopping list. And I am completely aware what's in our pantry and fridge. If I need to replenish or buy again.
Aside from the money saved, it also help me save time and energy: like running back and forth to the grocery because you forgot to buy an ingredient for the food that you are going to prepare.
.
There you have it! So the next time you are planning a trip to your favorite supermarket, don't forget to take your grocery list with you. It will surely save you money, time, effort and energy.
