The humble shopping list

Still the best way to spend less at the store.

3 min read

Shopping with a list means fewer forgotten items, fewer extra trips and fewer impulse buys.

Make it work

  • Keep a running list on your phone or the fridge
  • Check what you already have before you go
  • Plan a few meals first, then list what they need
  • Eat before you shop
  • Use pickup ordering if the store aisles tempt you
