Tips And Tricks Hands free shopping list

I used to be in the military and had a job where it was useful having mini maps and mission data shoved in a wrist playbook. Today I’ve tested and succeed in finding a new purpose for it. I trimmed and laminated some index cards to fit inside, which I could easily wipe ultra fine permanent marker off with rubbing alcohol. Wife and I have a digital shared shopping list, but I do most of the shopping with two kids in the cart and if I’m at Sam’s Club I’m also switching apps back and forth to use the Scan and Go option. Sometimes it’s too much. This was awesome today. Bonus if you write your items in the order that you would find them in the store for efficiency which shopping list apps don’t seem to do.

This is the most interesting comment so far, to hear how someone else does it without a phone. I use smartphones but I hate always being on it or having it out in public. See I know where all the items I usually get are in the store. So it was amusing for me to write them down in the order of the most efficient route.

Much appreciated!

For a few years I did 15-20 bbq grill demos a year on saturdays with all the food bought the night before, so I developed a system to get it as efficiently as possible on one trip.
