Once upon a time I had a white board to write down my shopping items, but as white boards go eventually I could no longer erase the writing. So I had a choice, either buy a new board or come up with a different system. I came up with a different system.
I bought a clip board at the dollar store and hung it on the hook where the old white board was. The I dug up a few sheets of loose leaf paper and stuck them in the clip board.
Now every time I run out of an item, it write it on the paper. Also when I want to remember something I will eventually have to buy I write it on the list. The same goes for hubby and when the kids were still at home, if it was not written on the list, I could not be held responsible for buying the item.
The system really works. Before I go grocery shopping I copy the items for the stores I plan to go to on a small piece of paper. Then when I return from the store I mark off the items I bought.
Once the sheet is full, I turn it over and then when both sides are used up, it goes in the recycle bin.
