For me l always prepare a shopping list before l go to the shopping malls. This really helps me in the effective and wisely spending for my money.
Do you really prepare a shopping list when going for shopping?

I don't but I should because I will come away without the items I want the most. I remember forgetting salt over several trips to the shops. I think most people come away with more than they mean to when they go shopping as the displays are so tempting and designed to make us buy more than we need.

I do. I make a shopping list and stick to it, especially while going grocery shopping. Everything is more expensive these days because of inflation, so I have to stick to my grocery list.

Though I don't go out for shopping all that much but whenever I do, I always create a list for my shopping. It helps me manage not just my capital but also my time.
I don't make a list. I do mental list all the time. If I go to the grocery, I make sure that I check the things we don't have and from there I am making a mental listings of what is needed.
No I don't prepare it. Sometimes I go in store and forgot what I had idea buying. But I rarely buy stuff which I don't need or I don't eat/spend.
Grocery list is for us not to miss or forget the things we are going to buy. However, on my end I only buy the things needed. I go aisle to aisle just to make sure I can get what is needed.
Yes I do because I work with a budget so I have my list of things to buy and I stick with such.
For the sake of my own wisely spending of money and the curiosity of controlled spending, l would include the shopping list and more especially on the most needed goods only.
I can't step into the market without a shopping list. That's one budgeting behaviour that my mum unconsciously passed down to me. I always have my budget drawn so that I stay focused on what I want to buy.
I prepare such a letter only in my head because I have no desire to write anything down. Very often it happens that it is in the store that I remember that I need to buy something else that I did not think about
