Are you trying to save money when you go shopping, then you would do well by having a shopping list with you. You just have to stick with the list to avoid spending more money. What do you think?

This is me. Hahaha
I always go out with shopping list so that I won't forget what I want to buy and I won't buy things impulsively

When you establish a weekly food list, you may put an end to the inconvenience of making numerous journeys to the store. You can make a written shopping list, which a lot of people still do. However, you can also create one with your smartphone.

I also love going shopping with a shopping list so I'll know how much cash to carry and know what and not to buy.

Having a shopping list does help but what would really make the difference is your level of discipline. You might have a list and along the line you see something outside the list that gets your attention, there is nothing stopping you from just buying it, except your level of discipline.

As the shopping mall is just a few minutes walk from my residence, I don't prepare a shopping list. I usually go there almost everyday for groceries shopping and buy other personal care items. I buy more when there are good deals such as buy one get one free, and when they offer special discounts.

I do list before shopping to minimise time and have proper budgeting. I also bring a ballpen to do checking the items already bought. This way avoids me of going back to the shopping center.

I learnt this trick while I was with my mom back in the days and also have used it till now. It helps you to meet your budget. I still write list before going to the market.

This is a traditional practice that resonated with the older generation. It has proven to be very useful even among the modern generation because it keeps your spending in check.

This is what we do in my family and I am already used to it. I have noticed that I always waste money whenever I do not go to the mall with the shopping list because I will just buy things that are not useful

Honestly this method has been helping me to receive from spending unnecessarily when I go to the market to shop for anything at all as when I don't make use of a list then I get to spend more than what I am supposed to spend.

For a shopper with a relatively unlimited amount of money at her disposal, it is vital to create a list of the items she intends to purchase at a store. Such strategy is extremely helpful in ensuring that one does not spend money on unnecessary items.

I have practically done this on many occasions and then after going back home from shoplifting I realise that there are many things that I am supposed to buy that I did not buy because I did not put them down on a list and many that I bought was not needed at the moment.
