While writing my list I like to have similar items grouped together, which can sometimes get a little squishy depending on how I've written things so far. I tried looking online for a printable list but I wasn't a big fan of any of the lists I saw, and sticking with my recent post about resolutions and goals, I decided I could make a list just the way I want it. I think this little number fits into all three categories on my goals list: organization, creativity, and money. (To see the original goal post, click here.)
As you can see it is a pretty basic list. We don't purchase a lot of pre-made, packaged, processed foods, and while shopping I usually stick to the outer rim of the store. This keeps me from impulse purchases such as chips or candy. There is a very short meat section, because Reggie is a hunter and a fisherman and most of the meat we eat he has harvested himself. The bulk section is rather long. I actually shop at a different store for these items - but I like to have them all on the same list. And I get most of our pantry items there, including all dry baking goods, pasta, legumes, rice, tea, etc. so I find myself needing lots of space in the bulk food section more often than not.
This is a jpeg version, feel free to print this one. However, if this list fits your style and you think you might like to use it write a little comment below with your e-mail and I will send you the PDF version, with 4 copies per page! Then print and use as you like. I think I am going to get a few printed up and made into tear-away pads. I might even add them to the shop.
So here's to starting off the New year right with creative organization that will help to keep overspending to minimum!

So so smart! My list is always a jumbled mess and I hate having to head back somewhere in the grocery store when I have already been there! I will definitely be utilizing this!
