Dontcha hate it when you forget to buy the one ingredient that without which you cannot even attempt a meal. In this case the Mexican seasoning… Pizza will have to be made instead but this abrupt change of plans is quite discombobulating. T&P are much appreciated.

write a list. I have paper and pen by the computer where I write my shopping list as I remember stuff I need. I can then go to the shops content in the knowledge that I won’t forget anything. Of course this relies on me remembering to take my list.

Ooooh, that reminds me.

There’s an app called ‘Our groceries”. It’s great, especially for couples. When you see that you need something, type it in, and it appears on your partners app, so that when either of you go to the shops, you can get the things they need too.

It also has a section for certain meals, where you list the ingredients you’ll need to make potato bake or bolognese or whatever, and when you decide to have that meal, those ingredients are added to the shopping list.

You can have different shopping lists for different places, and different ingredients for meals, plus you can take a pic of the item you want so that your partner can see it at the shops.

Trouble is, the internet knows what you are doing. ;)
