I did it for a while but then stopped when I became "broke" at some point. I'm working on starting up again. Tonight I had to go get dishwashing detergent, so I bought two of those, two toothpastes, two saving creams, two laundry detergents (all things I'm almost out of). I wonder what the checkout lady thought... I heard about this idea somewhere a year or two ago (I’d give them credit, but I can’t remember…).

It makes sense to stay out of the store as much as possible with all the price increases we are seeing across the board.

I too am impressed by your organization. I'm really trying to stick only to my list when I go in somewhere, but I agree, the more you're in stores, the more you find to buy! Good idea!
