I loathed grocery shopping until this...

I still remember it like it was yesterday, I walked into the grocery store trying to prove to my boyfriend that I could do the shopping. Who was I kidding? Walking into that store threw me into sensory overload. I was clueless...I needed a list. Fast forward 13 years and I am still clueless without my list. Even my husband, who was the boyfriend, has been known to do the grocery shopping now and then. I have always hated grocery shopping and then I discovered Google. Who knew you could Google grocery lists? There are all kinds of grocery list out there but the one that really works for me is this list http://www.heb.com/pdf/heblist.pdf. It's the HEB Shopping list and it works great for me because of the itemized columns. No more clueless shopping for me! Now, if I could just stay focused on the list instead of drifting off to the cosmetics or books I would be in great shape. I'm still working on that!

  1. I love lists! For the past 4 weeks Danny and I have been deciding on a menu for the week, making a grocery list and completely sticking to it and because of that we've kept our grocery bill at $110 a week for a family of 4...and that includes diapers for the little one! I do tend to wander into the cosmetics section a lot though, but now that we're trying to stick to this budget I use my personal money for the extras.

  2. Hello Jamie. HEB changed their grocery list. Did you happen to save a pdf copy of the old one? If so, could you post it here?
