Do you write a shopping list?

Mine:

I go to town once a week. If that black book isn't in my pocket, I'd be standing in the middle of Main Street, wondering what the hell I was there for

Is the black stuff dark matter?

Or Guinness?

My grandfather always had a tablespoon of molasses a day for the vitamins and minerals and he would let me have a big spoonful for myself. I loved turning the spoon round and round, trying to get some to part with the rest.

Darn! That's far too sensible an explanation.

Quirky bit is; I used to catch and photograph moths. (Yeah. Ye know; There's not a Lot of 'Night Life' out here! :P) And, there's one whack off big thing that they lure in by smearing molasses on a gate post .....

Then, I woke up, one day to find I was out of sugar! Hells teeth! €20.00 taxi trip into town; Or Think .....

I dimly recollected people had used molasses as a sweetener ..... It hit me like a truck, at first. But, by the end of the jar? I never looked back!


And That, children, is how I met ye mother! :pac:

We do, it's normally a list of the essentials. Then i'd always fill the space left in the trolley with ice cream and treats


I plan to get a chalk board for the kitchen, so that when we run out of something, say, tin foil, we jot it on the chalk board and snap a picture before going shopping. So we shouldn't come home from the shop thinking 'boll0x, forgot the f*cking tin foil' 3 weeks in a row

That's my method!! It works well for me.

Meal plan for the week Sunday lunchtime, then shop for the week. It’s stopped me from having a fridge full of gone off bits and no actual food. Saves money and hassle in the long run.

I suppose we sort of do this but we'd do it in our heads in the shop.

I like to have it all down, then I can make a list of what the recipes need, cross off what we have, and the rest is the shopping list.

Can come in handy to have it written down. I was humming and hawing about what to have last night and himself went ‘what’s on the menu for today?’ And that was it: the decision was out of my hands.

I don't really decided on dinners until I get to the supermarket/butchers. I like to see what's on offer/fresh.
I know all the spices/ingredients I have in my cubbords tough.
