Make a Grocery List

One thing that will cut down on time you spend each week in the grocery store is a grocery list. As I have increased my number of children and many times taken them to the grocery store with me, I have realized the faster I am in and out, the better. 

    Up until a few months ago, I shopped exclusively at Whole Foods. Now, I  seem to be able to get enough organic foods between 

Costco and H.E.B. and sometimes online grocery stores.

In this blog, I thought I would share my grocery list. 

    I keep this list as a Word Document in my computer and in the Word document, there are 2 columns, therefore, it prints up to one nice neat page. Sometimes, I’ll have  a lot of meat for the butcher, so I will leave the list with him while I got get a few other items. I have to adjust it every so often, but this is a HUGE helper around the birth time, because you may need someone to go get a few things and if you have a list like this....checking off is easy.
