I nearly always read the grocery shopping list before leaving home, and it stood me in good stead this week. I know I took the list, but I figured it dropped out of my pocket in the parking lot. Retracing my steps, I did not find any list. Time to wing it!
Two days later I have not missed anything vital, nor have I remembered anything else on the list. In this game of chance, I think I won.

You are good! I sometimes forget things even when I have my list with me.

Well I am guilty of that too. Since I shop for pantry items to last all Winter, I usually have a perpetual list of items for the grocery store and can re-use it but I’ve been known to forget that list too.

Remember, I shop for one, so the list was not a long one.

Well done! They say just the act of writing it down, puts it in your mind. One day just before hubby dropped me off at the grocery store, I asked him if he needed anything. He said, “Yes, I need toothpaste.” We got home later and I unpacked the groceries. He said, “Where is my toothpaste?” I said, “I forgot it, it wasn’t on the list.” He just shook his head.

I agree with ruthsoaper, I forget things even when they are right there in front of me on my list. I think my “memory problems” stem from simply having so much rolling around in my head at any given time and being distracted a lot.
Good for you, getting your shopping done without a list! Especially when you realized you picked up everything you wanted/needed.

I’m good at substitution, so hopefully I could have coped without things on my list.

I had written the shopping list over a period of a week. It was good I took a refresh look at it before going to the store.

I’m also catching up with your previous posts but for some treason I can like them but not leave messages. Anyway, I was really touched by the reunion with your old friends and what it brought along, not the toilet part though😳
