I hate having to keep my phone out. I have to do that with mobile coupons
and they are a PITA. I don't normally even use my phone for the Cartwheel
app. I try to remember to print if off before I leave. I just find a piece
of paper so much easier and quicker to use than the phone. I will sometimes
print a list off from the computer, especially if I am buying from several
different stores in one trip.
When I do paper lists, I can put stuff on the list in the order in which it
appears in the store. Makes it much easier and if I am going just
specifically for what is on the list then I don't have to go up and down
every aisle.
