I found this “Master Grocery List” on line. I found it pretty helpful. I copied it into a Word document and skimmed through while I was making my list to help me remember things. I know that even with this list I will forget something and have to make another trip. But hopefully this will help cut down on the trips. Hope you find this helpful!
