Do you make a grocery list?

Do you make a grocery list? Why or why not?

Do you stick to the list or ad lib as you see good produce or meat available?

How often do you shop?

I used to stop at the grocery store every day after work to pick out something to make fresh for dinner. I now go once a week since the pandemic. I do make a grocery list; I just speak to my virtual assistant at the house, and it posts it on my phone. I stick to it because they are items that I need but mostly I still ad-lib when it comes to produce and meats. I look at what's good and looks fresh.

I make a basic list, and I go off of the digital coupons my grocery store offers, but also the deals. Sometimes, even if I don't need something, I'll buy ahead just to get $5 off the bill, which helps in the long run. My list are my Must Haves and then I'll also go to the meat department to see which ones have the Manager's yellow stickers that are deep clearances. Those really freeze well and I grab what I think we'll need.
