One fabulous little thing I love are these grocery list pads by Real Simple (found at Target in the office supply/stationary section).
Most weeks I know what main dishes I’ll be cooking and what ingredients I need for those, but by glancing over this list each time before I go to the store I’m always reminded to get fresh produce, breakfast and snack foods, and pantry staples.
The list is organized by what section of the store you’d find each item in which makes shopping easy and organized as well. There are plenty of sheets on each pad, the one in this picture has been on my fridge for almost two years now and is just now running low.
I love these pads so much that as soon as I found out my sister was moving into her own apartment, I got her one. And as soon as I gave it to her, she said she had seen it at my house as was going to be getting herself one had I not already gotten one for her.
The Real Simple version I use is currently only available at Target. For others that you can order on Amazon right now, here are some cute options:

You’ve convinced me to get this list. It will help me get organized I hope.
I just found your blog recently. Thanks for the post about starting a blog! I use the Knock Knock All Out Of notepads and love them. As soon as I run out of something, it gets checked/added on the list.
I seriously have to update my grocery list.
BTW, I love your blog! I just found it through BlueFrog. Who knew you could write about so many clever topics in such a consistent manner?
