SHOPPING LISTS

The  only lists I do are shopping lists and mostly not for me but for Mr. G. Unfortunately, he has a tendency to buy things that weren't on the list and things that were on the list he forgets. When I do a shopping list for me I mostly forget it at home ! 

Now I write in my smartphone the list of things that I have to buy, at least I won't forget it, as my phone is always with me. On the wall I have a little notebook where I write what we need during the week each time I see that it is the last package. But that doesn't work so good neither because I forget to look on it. In short, lists and me are like horse and carriage.

For birthdays, Easter and Christmas I don't get lists anymore, I get links to the wanted gift order it pay and let it send directly to the person or to me and I take it along. This is very practical. Even my ten year old grandson makes his lists this way and these are always the longest once. But I am allowed to choose amongst the various propositions ! I feel like a modern grandma and like this way of wishlists !!

  2. lol at the cartoons. The playlist one would definitely be my hubby. Much easier to buy gifts when the person tells you what they want.

  3. I attach my grocery list to the refrigerator door with a magnet, and I have left the grocery list at home too!
    And as soon as I get back from the grocery store, I start a new list!
    Have a wonderful weekend!

  4. I'm sure everyone reading your post, will relate! I certainly do. I love your cartoons especially the music playlist and OF COURSE, the cat cartoon I seem to be buying cat food every time I'm in the supermarket. So cute that you can make your wishlist with Toby. Have a great day. JO

  6. I have memory lists all around the house of things I must do. I also have reminders on my phone. I'd be lost without lists. I also order on line and send direct to family. Its better than going to the post office and wait in queues.

  7. We write what we need at shops on a small whiteboard. If there is lot, rather than then writing a list to take, I take a photo of the whiteboard. I really need a list of some kind.

  9. I use smartphone for the shopping list, too, but still use good old pen & paper sometimes :-) I always forget one or two things without the list!

  10. Link wish lists are my absolute favorite! My kids send me links that I can share with aunts and uncles. So easy!
