I keep my grocery list on my laptop. The document stays open on my desktop so I can quickly add to the list when I think of something. I also keep a notepad in the kitchen to quickly jot something down, then I transfer the items to my laptop when I get the chance.
On Wednesday, when the grocery ads come out, I sit down and make my weekly grocery shopping plan. If I am shopping at two or more stores, I separate my items into different columns. If I have a coupon, I add a star (*) in front of the item to remind myself in the store. If an item is on sale, I add an exclamation point (!) as well.
I also rearrange my list into the order of the aisles so my shopping trip is quick and easy. Sometimes, if I’m having a Super-Mom moment, I’ll even pull out the coupons I know I’m using ahead of time. When it’s time to go, I click “Print”, grab my Coupon binder, and I’m off!
It takes a few minutes to organize my list on my computer, but it makes my shopping quicker, more organized, and cheaper. That definitely works for me!

That is a really good idea, I have my laptop open and on the kitchen counter most of time time so this would work for me too! Thanks for sharing it! :)
This is a really good idea! I used to have an extension on firefox that's an ongoing grocery list... it was really cool! I need to add that again (I had a computer crashing problem and forgot to add it back on)
I have an idea that could shorten your grocery list :) Check out my blog for today's WFMW post.
Anything to keep me from forgetting what I went to the grocery store for is tops on my list --
I didn't realize that Firefox had a widget for that -- Thanks to Amanda, too
Great tip!
