Find time – Have you ever used a shopping template?
Do you do your weekly grocery shopping on the weekends?
And is it a task that you fear? How often do you come home, unpack your bags, and realize you’ve forgotten something?
It’s a frustrating experience, AND it’s one you can avoid with this tip: create a shopping template for yourself and USE IT!
Templates are great for saving time
Templates help you find time each time you tackle tasks that you need to do more than once. And grocery shopping is a prime example. This is a task that you can really transform on your own using a template.
Think about it. About 80% of your shopping list is probably made up of items that you always want to have on hand. So why not create a template for those elements? Ready to start?
Here are two suggestions:
- Your template will work best if you configure it to match the layout of the store where you usually shop. So if you get to the fresh produce section first when you enter the store, put the fruits and vegetables first on your template.
- Leave enough space for extra items you need infrequently or for a special recipe.
Imagine the time you will save. You can use your template to review what you have, check off what you need, and then use it in store to make sure nothing is missed.
Try making a shopping template this week. Set it up on your computer so you can modify it as your grocery shopping needs evolve.
You will be amazed at the time you will save, the time you will find!
