I have a very cool shopping list system that works well for us. I have created an excel document that has one worksheet with dinner options on it for the entire week (M-Sun including leftover meal days - works out to work for about 2 weeks that way). Then what i have done is made the next worksheet the shopping list. I have added every item from the menu/recipe that I have chosen as well as the other items that are weekly staples (fruit, snacks etc.) When it is time to grocery shop, I choose a week ( I currently have about 13 weeks worth of menus and shopping lists), go to the shopping list and shade anything we don't need (spices etc.). My hubby can then take the list and get exactly what I need!
thought I would share something that has worked well for me! Cuts down on wasted food as well!
