Not in my house! I don't stick strictly to a list, but I do use a list
for things I *know* I need. (If I don't write it down, I'll forget it.
And no, I don't have a cell phone so no shopping list apps.) I'll
pick up the occasional splurge item, go a few bucks over what I planned
to buy. Certainly not $250 worth!
