Smart Shopping Lists

Have you ever found yourself trawling through a supermarket, back and forth, front of the shop, back of the shop and back to the front again, to get every item on your shopping list? If this is the case, you probably wasted lots of time doing so. This week I've got a tip how you can avoid all that to-and-fro-ing in the future.

Arrange your shopping list according to the isles in your supermarket. I am certain you have been to your supermarket enough times to know roughly which items are displayed in what order. Write out your shopping list accordingly keeping like with like (so all the vegetables together, all the dairy products in one group, all the meat items, etc.).

If you're not too sure about the order in your supermarket, use your next shopping trip to make notes. Then from the shopping trip after that onwards you can get yourself organised and avoid unnecessary hikes through the isles.
