Money Saving Tip #55: Keep a Running Grocery List

On our refrigerator, I keep a small dry erase board. I use this board so that I can keep a running grocery list of items that I need o buy the next time I visit the supermarket. Once I run out of ketchup, Q-tips, or apples, I write those things down on the board.

One of the reasons I do this is because I am not forced to remember everything I need to buy 5 minutes before I go to the store for my weekly shopping. Also, my husband and my daughter can write down items that need to be purchased.

Doing this will save me extra unnecessary trips to the grocery store.
