I do this but only when I haven't menu planned.

I typically write the weeks menu. do the shopping list and then do the shopping. The following day I cook everything that I planned and freeze it. Then I don't need to shop or cook. It also makes me budget well.

When I forget, however, its a nightmare, shopping and emergency cooking and the budget goes out the window.

I have a really cool home makers planner though and it's great for organising everything from cooking to cleaning to purchasing uniforms.
I do a big shop once a week but with Mr Spudqueens work I don't always know what time he's getting in from work or he may come home one day and say he's away for the next couple of days so even if I menu plan it all goes out of the window and I find myself going to the local shops/supermarket to rethink. And then there's the stuff I forgot! though I usually make a list of things as we run out/ nearly run out. Always forget something though!

I try to go shopping as little as possible.
I don't like shopping.


Most of the week I make do with what's around.
At the same time I keep a list of important things that have nearly run out, like toilet paper or cat food.


When I cannot avoid to go shopping any more, I sit down and think about what I'd like to cook/bake in the nearer future, and write a shopping list.
It ususally ends up being huge, but at least it only happens about every two to three weeks.


Apart from that, I try to avoid shops!

i did a huge shop saturday but have to back today as i forgot bread and lemons!
and a new toothbrush, sigh back again on my way home!
