Shopping ListsPage Updated on November 24, 2007Use a shopping list! If you want to save money during your shopping trip, I repeat, use a shopping list! (and stick to it) One of the things I repeatedly see popping up in the site searches (yes I get a report on what people have been searching for, so I know what visitors want to see) is a shopping list. You know the ones I'm talking about. They list every common item that people buy (or what the list creator thinks you should buy, as if they know what's best for your family), and you're supposed to circle or highlight the items on the list that you need so you don't have to write them down. I know some people insist that this saves them time, and I'm sure it does if you have things like milk and bread that you must buy each week, but such lists really only seem to waste printer paper and ink because they contain so many items that you AREN'T going to buy (so why are they on your list?). It's much more reasonable to:
If you try to save money by primarily shopping for items based on coupons, rebates, sales, and so forth, try using my shopping list form in the Printables section to help you figure out how you can save the most money on every item. Perhaps you're just curious... ...about what other people buy.
