Preparations
First, make a menu or list of the ingredients needed.
In making a list of what to buy, you should itemize and know the quantity of each item that you’ll be
needing.
Remember to list cleaning materials and toiletries, condiments, canned goods, vegetables then meat, fish and poultry.
Here’s an example grocery list:
After the list, check your stocks inside your cupboards, condiment area and especially your refrigerator.
Afterwards, in your list, cross out things you don’t need to buy
Then, finally, before leaving for the grocery, free and fix spaces where you will put your grocery.

Making a list is really helpful, however sometime you also need to justify if you really need to buy some stuff….
It takes me awhile to decide if there is really a need to buy….
hmmm thats is an age old advice already
creating a list is a smart thing to do! it limits unnecessary and impulsive buying for as long as you muster self-control to stick to your list. 🙂
