I love lists! Ya'll should see my grocery list, it's insanely OCD. Once I make the meal plans and figure out what I need to buy I make a list. This list I break down further into departments and list them in the order I encounter them around the grocery store. For example I would list:

Produce:
lettuce
green pepper
fresh fruit

Frozen:
pizza
corn

Bread:
bread
hot dog buns

This allows me to easily grab everything in one complete circuit around the store with no backtracking. Also, as I put each item in the cart I round up and jot down how much it will be. As I finish each section I add to find the subtotal and then add the subtotals as I work my way around the store. This means that as I get to the register I have a fair idea how much it's going to run and it's easier to spot mistakes when my things are rung up.

*whew* It sounds like a lot of work but it really makes my life easier.
