Very recognizable, you have done the shopping and come home and have forgotten half of it. You can go back. You come back with too many groceries and you don’t have what you needed. Oopsie! We help you draw up your ideal shopping list.
This is how you create your ideal shopping list
It is of course a shame if you run out of food or have to throw it away. You therefore need the right ingredients to put together a shopping list. Fortunately it is not very difficult. Saves again! With the following steps you will throw away less food in the future and save a lot of money.
1. View the offers
Always check the offers! The supermarket offers for the coming week are often published between Friday and Sunday. So take a look before you go shopping to see what offers are available. Write down the products you would like to have and then you can think about what you want to make. Oh yes, and especially look at products you want to have in stock, such as toilet paper, cleaning products and long-life food.
2. Inventory the pantry
There is a good chance that you now know a bit about what you want to eat. It really doesn’t matter that your weekly menu is not ready yet, because you will work on it later. Now it’s time to look at what you have left at home. Do you fancy spaghetti? Check at home to see if you still have it before you go to the store to buy a new suit. Do you still have some products in the freezer or vegetables left over from last week? Use them!
3. Make a weekly menu
It’s time to write down what you want to put on the table each day and write down the ingredients you think you need for this per dish.
4. Categorize the messages
The last step again. Do you now know the layout of your supermarket by heart? That makes a difference, because it saves you a lot of time. This way you don’t have to walk back and forth every time. Therefore, put the groceries in order on your list. Write down what you need per category. This way you avoid buying too much. Write down how many grams of minced meat to how many peppers and what color. We bet you will enjoy going shopping soon.
Extra tip: The advantage of a digital shopping list is that you can check off the products you already have. This way you prevent yourself from forgetting groceries.
