What's on the grocery list template?

- A budget box with estimated and actual totals
Why sort a grocery list by aisle?
Writing your list in the order you walk the store means fewer trips back across it and fewer forgotten items. Grouping by section also shows where the money goes: if the pantry section is always the biggest, that's the first place to look for savings.
How do you use a grocery list to stick to a budget?
- Check what you already haveLook in the fridge and cupboards first, and only write down what you need.
- Plan the meals firstWrite the week's meals, then list their ingredients. Our Meal Planner does this part for you.
- Estimate pricesWrite a rough price next to each item and add up the estimated total before you go.
- Write down the actual totalFill in what you really paid, so next week's estimate is closer.
Print a stack and keep it on the fridge, or slip one sheet into a plastic sleeve and write on it with a dry-erase marker.
