Reading some of the other posts and realizing you have your life organised through i-technology I'm sure theres a piece of software out there that will do this for you and more than likely sync to your treo. Do a quick check of whats in the fridge and the pantry, and what other consumables we need, tick the items we need on the reverse of the menu and shop til we drop! Once a week we just sit down and write up what we are having for the week, breakfasts, lunches and dinners. I simply edit this list changes as our preferneces for certain products change on the other side of the sheet is the weeks menu. Slightly off topic but I have a list (MSWord document, nothing fancy) that has all our regular purchases on it fits one side of an A4, has space for one- off purchases, has a checkbox next to each item. One other thought -in your keep a list of stuff you know you will probably need to buy everyweek whether or not delpleted. You will need n/as in their contexts to move it along so you can take it with you and complete the project.Įven if you are experienced with these activities, there may be some things you do beside write down what you run out of as you go ?(calendar) check whose is going to be where this week, so you can plan the adgenda-?family meeting -find out if anyone needs to bring anythng special ?where-read through newspaper grocery ads to help form menu home- clean out frig and survey freezer and pantry to see what needs to be used up, and what needs to be replenished.

If your skills in shopping, meal planning and food storage and perparation are at the beginner level, or your situation has changed so you are applying your skills in a new way (more or fewer kids at home, more distance to stores, changing your eating habits), then your shopping list might be a project.
