the item down on the grocery list.

profession. If you are a high-tech mom, use the

file, then load onto your pda (personal data assistant).
- A grocery list template can easily be
customized for your own uses. Then save a copy to
your
computer
and print out as needed.
- Mark brand names that you prefer
on your grocery shopping list template before you print it out.
- By the way, do you know what your average weekly grocery bill
is?
- Trying to save money? Put your grocery shopping list on a budget, too, by simply using it regularly. Refuse to go to the grocery store without it!

- Print out enough copies of the
grocery shopping list template for several months or longer; keep in a
folder in your kitchen for handy use.
- Post copies of your printable shopping list in each
bathroom and laundry room as well as your kitchen.
Then just gather lists and go when it's time to
shop.
- Whenever you add an item to the basic grocery
list, mark size and quantity of
item as well. Then later on, when you're ready to shop, you won't need
to figure out how much of an item you need.
- It's a matter of preference whether you use a blank grocery list template or a prefilled food shopping list.
- If you shop at multiple stores to get
the best deals, customize a separate grocery shopping list template
for each store you use for maximum efficiency.
- Need to save money every month on
your grocery bill? See the frugal
shopper resource we have researched and recommend.
- If you have size and brand on your
grocery shopping list,
you can send your kids to get items from your list as you shop.
- Additionally, cut your shopping list apart;
give each child a basket and a portion of your grocery list and let
them shop
for you.
- Need a motivator? Everyone gets
$1.00 to spend at the grocery store.
There are hundreds of items in a grocery store less than $1.00. This
tip alone used to keep my kids very happy (and busy) at shopping time.
- On the other hand, if you shop more
efficiently alone, do so. Swap babysitting with a friend and each
of you can shop quickly and in peace.
- If a friend recommends a new product
to try, jot it down on your free printable grocery shopping list. That
will remind you to take a quick look when you're at the store.
- Do sometimes you come home without
getting everything on your shopping list? Circle or highlight the
items you didn't get and staple to the back of a new grocery shopping
list.
- Remember, no matter how 'cute' a
shopping list is, that is not what gets your home organized! Read our
article, "How to Use Chore Charts
Effectively" to maximize your results using any list system.
- One grocery shopping list template not enough? Need lots and lots
of smart professional mothering ideas on organizing your
homelife and office? Here's
the declutter
resource I use and love. Lots of creative ideas. How can you go
wrong with that (smile)?

"Our supermarket just recently revamped,
groceries were all organised but not as we knew it. So, I went
shopping with my list, and noted the aisle number for each item I had
on my list and I noted the aisle number for familiar things I usually
bought too on the back of my list. I also noted obscure products
and the aisle number just in case I needed them ie: firestarters, cd's.
towels, brushes and brooms, health products etc.
I also made a list of what was indicated on the isle number ie It
said Aisle 1: Potato chips and confectionary
Aisle 2: Cereals, soft drinks
Aisle 3: Tea Coffee Biscuits
etc.
I also use:
M = meat
F = Frozen
V = Vegetables and fruit
D = Dairy - butter and cheese etc.
I typed the list up in order adding my items I use on it
too. Now when I make out my shopping list, I do it per my typed
list in aisle numbers. All aisle 1 together, then aisle 2
etc. Simple.
It's so much faster to shop now. I don't have to go back and
forth each aisle. I save by just getting what I want. "
