How to use it
Write the meals for the week in the last box first, then add what each one needs under the matching aisle. Checking the fridge and pantry while you write stops you buying what you already have.
Why the aisles matter
A list written in the order you walk the shop is quicker to follow than one written in the order you thought of things. The boxes follow a typical layout: fruit and veg first, then meat, dairy, bakery, the dry goods, the freezers and the household aisle last.
A tip for the list
Keep one copy on the fridge and write on it through the week, so a missing item goes down the moment you notice. Take a photo of it before you leave the house and you will not be caught out by leaving the page behind.
From paper to a shared list
A paper list suits one shopper. If two people shop from the same list, the Daily Journal keeps a food planner and a shared grocery list in one place, and the first three habits are free.
Questions
How many items fit on the grocery list?
Up to thirty six on the aisle boxes, and the meals box has four more lines. Print a second copy for a big shop.
Can I print the grocery list in black and white?
Yes. The sheet uses thin grey lines, so it prints clearly on any printer.
Does it come in A4 and US Letter?
Yes. Both sizes have the same layout, so use the one your printer takes.
Can I reuse the grocery list each week?
Yes. Print a new copy each week, or write the list in pencil and rub it out.
