Unless I'm going to be cooking something I don't ordinarily make, I
don't make a list. I also live alone, so I know when I have enough of
something or if I'm about to run out. And an impulse buy or two
always makes it into my shopping cart, although these are usually
inexpensive things. The downside is, more than once I've come home,
unloaded the groceries and realized I forgot to buy mayonaise or
lightbulbs or some other item I was MEANING to buy that day.
