List in my head so I always forget something. Or wife will text me a list of stuff to grab so I keep having to check it to make sure I don't forget a key item.

If you go without a list you're a savage.

Shop from home and pick up in person for just about everything except produce and meat.

I have a list. I buy the items off the list, and then I leave. I do not buy anything else.
The only exception to this is if I have one of my kids along to help out. In that case, they're allowed to pick out one item they want as payment for their help. |

Both. I have a list of essentials I need for meals. But then I like to browse, if they have some fresh breads I might grab them. Or a case of sodas or whatever Im in the mood for. Only tip is don't go to the store hungry.... I always come home with shit food, 20 bags of chips, pizza rolls, microwave burritos, sandwich meat, 20 bags of candy. Then I eat and go fuck.... I really don't want any of that.

I didn’t vote because I do both.
I’ll go with a list and be awesome, and… I’ll go and shop for the menu I’m making up as I go along. |

I grocery shop with my wife each week. We have a path, and a mental list. Well, she does. I lift things, and I get to push the cart. :)
I think I could probably hit a 90 percent accuracy rate by now if I had to go by myself. When I was single I would wander around and find things that I would eat in the next 15 minutes, and maybe something for tomorrow's breakfast. Not ideal. |

I make a list on the fridge as the week goes on and I use the last of certain ingredients (or get close to running out). Either take a photo of it or just put it in my reminders in my phone before going to the store, that way I can eliminate items as I pick them up.
List is also in order by what is where in the store, so I'm not traipsing all over that shithole for an extra 30-40 minutes looking for everything... unless I'm just bored. |

I make a note in my phone. I add things as I run out or think about them. Go up and down the aisles in the most efficient pattern and then make a pass for all the cold stuff on the way out

List. Something not a available, substitute. See something that looks good, get it.
The list is just a framework. |

Both. I do a big grocery shopping trip about every 4 weeks where I just grab things. The small trips to the store in between the big trips are all based on what I have written down on a list I keep in the kitchen.

I go in knowing what I need, stroll down the appropriate isles, and grab the items, often without breaking stride. It is when the store moves items and I cannot find what I need that frustrate the fuck out of me. I've resorted to shopping at the local "general store"/gas station convenience store as this establishment does not move the location of items. The selection is not as good as a full sized grocery store in the "city", but it has a bit of everything, from cow ear tags, horseshoes, a kitchen sink, plumbing parts, motor oil, antifreeze, people food, dog food, cat food, horse food, cd movie rentals, ammo (not a great selection), etc. For a building that is maybe 75 ft. by 75 ft., there is a lot of stuff in it.
ETA: As to the poster above me who states that he is in-and-out in about 20 minutes, I was timed on a few occasions at the local store. I had my stuff, and to the register in under one minute. It usually, however, takes about two to three minutes to get to the register. We have a very similar shopping strategy. |

List. Get the sale items & the coupon items......
Not that hard. People are lazy & wonder how they spend so much $$ in food. |

I do all the grocery shopping and cooking for the family. I have a white board on the fridge for things I'm getting low on, and make up a menu for the coming week so I know what I need. I also sometimes just write fruit or veggies and get what looks good at the time, instead of a certain item.

A physical list? No. I generally grab stuff from a mental list, and stock up on some stuff depending on sale prices.

I have to have a list, and things get crossed off when they go into the cart; but I also will pickup a couple items not on the list.
Went shopping today, had to have oven cleaner on the list, almost never buy it because I rarely need it, but time to clean the oven. Same for the 13 gallon tall kitchen trash bags, I always get the big 80 count box so I am only buying a box once every 18 months. Just don't remember the rarely purchased items if they aren't on the list. |

I buy everything online and have it delivered so I don't waste anymore of my life in a store.
We'll make a list if there's stuff we need for a specific occasion, otherwise I just scroll down my list of frequently purchased items and add them as I see fit. |
