Each week I feel overwhelmed as I start from scratch on my grocery list. What do we need? What do we usually buy? Most of the time I’m preoccupied and exhausted and, well, can’t remember for the life of me. So I go shopping with a short list and invariably come home from the store and realize I’ve forgotten something. More often I forget 5 things.
I really needed some grocery shopping help. I tried several grocery shop apps for my phone, but found them to be too time consuming. I needed something simple and easy. A list that I printed out once a week and placed on our fridge that David and I could mark as we ran out of items.
So I created this master grocery list that you may download, modify and print for your own personal use.
Our list is mostly gluten-and-sugar-free, so I hope yours will contain things like fresh pizza dough and cake. You know, things I dream of eating. Enjoy!
Can’t find a highlighter to mark your needed items? I’m using a yellow colored pencil, but you could also underline, circle or check off each item. Whatever works best for you and your family.
i have long considered doing this, except that with just 2 of us (who are often not home for dinner anyway!) we don’t even grocery shop every week, and usually end up needing a motley assortment of stuff. i long for the days when our schedules are calmer and we cook nearly every night..!
Carrie-
This is such a great idea!!! This year, we moved to weekly meal planning and grocery shopping – shocked that I didn’t come up with this brilliant idea sooner – so simple!
I’m working on ours now, trying to remember what aisle everything is in. It may take a couple of weeks to work out the kinks. So excited … this will make Sundays SO much easier!!
Thanks SO much for sharing!

i’ve been looking for a way to simplify grocery shopping myself–doesn’t it feel like reinventing the wheel each time? i’ll be printing this out for our fridge–thanks!
