I'm just going for milk and bread.........

[tomwed]

I did it again. Last night I went to the store to get milk and bread, came home with five things and not one of them was milk.

Do I need to make a list just to pick up TWO things? Really? Really? :)

[jblum315]

No. Just focus.

Funny stuff!!!

I usually make a list but don't number them. :smiley:

[Aandjmassage]

I have made a list and still missed it

[tippyclubb]

Yes, you will need a list for everything. A list for phone calls to be made, a list for grocery stores, bills stacked together on desk so I can remember to pay them. It's pathetic when I go to store with list in hand and still forget items. Yep, never leave home without your list.

[CFrance]

And don't forget to READ the list when you're in the store!

[thelegges]

Grocery list with scanner on my phone. No writing just scan as you use and done

[RErmer]

There's an app for that! At least if you shop at Publix. Using the app for my list, and to "clip" coupons means never having to say "oops, I forgot"

Make sure you check out her "Men Don't Know the Style in NYC" video - absolutely hysterical. If you like her videos, you'd love seeing her in person. I went to her Orlando show a few months ago, and already have tickets for her Jacksonville show on Dec. 6. Her shows are guaranteed to make you laugh until you hurt :)

[Barefoot]

And don't forget to READ the list when you're in the store!

I make up comprehensive lists and carefully divide them into sections for easier shopping. And then I forget my lists which makes me so grumpy. :swear:
I don't own a cell phone so apps won't help me.
I hate to forget lists, but I usually end up with about 80% of the items. So I guess that's about how much memory I have left.

[Villages PL]

There was a man, in line, in back of me a Publix. He had picked out a few items and put them on the conveyor belt. Then he suddenly realized that he forgot to bring his wallet. :o

What if you remember to get the milk but forget where you parked your car?


I never forget to buy dairy, meat, eggs, soft drinks, juice or baked goods. I'm a vegan who only eats natural whole foods.

[tomwed]

This is somewhat related.

For months I tried to memorize my 6 digit id number but to no avail. I told this to the starter one day and he looked at my number and said "seventy six, twenty three, twenty three". That is not my number but the pattern is the same.

By seeing it as 3 two digit numbers, I had it instantly.

Starter, if by chance you are reading this---thank-you very much for this memory tip.

Jeanne Roberts is so refreshing. I can't wait to show her to my golfing friends.

Does she have new material each time she performs?

We know that.

I have needed a GOOD LAUGH. What a treat....
I have already sent this out to numerous friends as far as Scotland....

[Barefoot]

I agree that Jeanne Roberts' video about sending Left Brain shopping is a hoot.
If you click on the Youtube link, there are lots of other funny videos to watch.

[rjm1cc]

Thanks for mentioning the app.

[rjm1cc]

I make a list as I come across things I need.

[Halibut]

I always print my list for Publix from their site because it shows what aisle everything is on and I can walk through in the store in numerical order. Probably their app does that as well, but I'm smart-less. ;)

Thanks for the link, BK. I wasn't familiar with Jeanne but spent some time tonight chuckling to her other videos as well.

[dbussone]

I use an app called grocery gadget. It syncs with my wife's phone so we have a single common list. I do all the food shopping. The only problem occurs if she decides to add something while I'm in the store and I'm past that aisle. But a very good app.

I just watched this one, CaliforniaGirl. That was funny.

You are welcome, Halibut. I am glad it made you smile.

[KittyKat]

I have a magnetic-backed tablet on the refrigerator. If I think of something while I'm in the bathroom, by the time I get to the kitchen I've forgotten it.

I do my big shopping at Wal-Mart. I make my list according to how the store is laid out starting with the West end and going East, getting milk & frozen items last.

[CaliforniaGirl]

Does she have new material each time she performs?

When I went to her Orlando show, she said she was recording a new DVD in Sept. with all-new stuff, so I'm assuming (and hoping) that the Dec. show will be the new stuff.

[bkcunningham1]

I have my email address set up as a contact in my phone. When there is something I need to remember, I text myself and have it in my email and in my phone in my sent file. I have another trick to remember things but I can't remember it right now.

[baustgen]

My wife makes a list, then forgets to take it with her.

I just watched the "Style in NYC" video, it is so funny! Her delivery is impeccable. I'm now a huge fan.

So you are the man standing in the middle of the aisle with a basket full of "stuff" and on the phone! Now we know.

Now this is downright mean, but here goes ........... [/I]love to see the man on the phone with the (presumably) wife and he's saying "well they have it in a red box, but I cannot see a blue box, what about the green box? So if they don't have that what else shall I get"![/I]

For the record, my other half does not shop unless I write it down in triplicate, tell him exactly what aisle and which level shelf and how much it is. Now if it's not in the right aisle (but has been moved to the end of the aisle), we never get it! So the moral of this and the sake of my blood pressure - I do the shopping

That's exactly what happens at our house. Fireboy will come home and say things like "I couldn't find any cereal at Publix". :lipsrsealed:

[DonH57]

I always make a list and it stays on the table at home. Duh.

Guess I will let the secret out. If we act like we incapable of doing something we know "the wife" will take care of it. Works for washing clothes and dishes, and cleaning the house as well.

Doug you are an idiot! ( don't delete me post, my pet name for him!) LOL!

[tomwed]

I wonder if Skype in video mode would help.

A husband, i.e Fireboy, can mount the smartphone to his hat so the camera points at the food on the shelves. And his wife, from home, the pool or the golf course can talk him through the selection, purchase and right to the car in the parking lot.

For most of us, headphones may be required. :)

If I mounted one on Doug's hat, I am sure his would mal(e)function.

I predict a long and happy life for the two of them.

Ladies, if a man says he will fix it, he will... There's no need to remind him every six months about it....

I've given up on the LIST - I don't think I'll live long enough for him to get to it! I either do it myself or get someone in .............. I had a faucet dripping, then leaking, then flooding across the kitchen counter top. I called in the plumber and the other half said "why'd you do that, I was getting to it" - Oh sure Honey in your dreams.

[Halibut]

Tugging this thread a little sideways -- do many of you grocery shop with your SO? I see couples in the store all the time, but honestly? If I'm doing it, I don't need my wife tagging along. Same for her, I presume.

We keep a running list, but whoever is cooking that night may need to run out for a specific ingredient. I'm also a little unhealthily fixated on BOGO and usually go on Thursdays for those. Heck, we're there probably there 3 times a week, anyway. But not together!

We sometimes do (I make cruel jokes about him, but we are actually very compatible), he goes one way (the wines and spirits aisle) and I go do the real shopping, then he will wait for me at the front of the store, and if he gets lucky and finds someone with a therapy dog that he can talk to (the dog, not the person) he is in hog heaven!
