Follow this suggestion in order to speed up your weekly household shop - and you may well save money too, as it should curb any tendencies towards impulse buying.
Make a list of the items you buy regularly; arrange them in the order in which they're set out in the supermarket. If the fresh produce area is normally your first stop, for example, list the fruits and vegetables you routinely buy, such as apples, oranges, carrots and lettuce; then leave some blanks for less frequently purchased goods.
Make lots of photocopies of the list and always keep one on the refrigerator door; mark items as soon as you run out of them. When you go to the supermarket, make sure you remember to take the list with you. That way, your shopping is organised as soon as you walk in.
