Fun.
I don't think I've raved enough about Jade's genius on meal planning yet. SHE IS CRAZY GOOD AT ORGANIZING MEAL PLANNING! She had this idea about a grocery list a long time ago and I am going to show you how to make it yourself! And then stick around because I'm also going to show you the super adorable grocery list notepad that Jade ordered from her friend and I'll show you where she got it!
Now, I don't know about all of you, but my grocery lists were always a mess. I would walk through the store, and then back through it again to get the items I missed, then probably back through again to get yet some more items I missed. BUT! Now with this amazing new grocery list (Jade's brainchild) my store trips are so much easier and quicker!
So this grocery printable is split up into groups:
produce, meats, grains, canned/snacks, baking, utility, frozen, dairy, personal, and other. (mine says Costco but the download will say other)
And here is the best part, it's in order of the way the store is layed out! Go through it once, grab only the items that you need, and be done!
I took the printable and made my own grocery list notepad! (printables are available at the bottom of this post, scroll down) When you print the list, it will fit 3 lists per sheet of paper. I printed out 17 of these and I am good for the whole year. (I grocery shop once a week.)
So here is how to make your own notepad...(useful for more than just the grocery lists)
So here is how to make your own notepad...(useful for more than just the grocery lists)
So after you have printed them, cut them out equally.
Them stack them all together in a nice neat little pile
I cut out a board from a cereal box in the same size for the backing.
Next put them all together and make sure they are all as flat and together as possible
Then take some hot glue and run it over the top (p.s. make sure you're gluing the top, I wasn't looking and glued the bottom! It peeled off fine after it was dry but might as well avoid this mistake in the first place ha ha!)
and then before the glue is dry, take another strip of card board and spread across the top. Try to get all of the papers covered in glue.
I repeated this three times to make sure it was all secure.
Then, just to cover the top, I glued a piece of paper to the back and folded it over the front. I didn't glue it in the front; though, to make it easier to tear off the paper.
Now if you made my menu you board, hang this somewhere close by and you have you ingredients easily showing to write onto your grocery list.
Perfect organization!
Doesn't it just make you want to squeal with joy? :)

What a great idea! I'm definitely doing this, and I've added it to my Pinterest board and started following you! I'm looking forward to reading more from you. :)
ReplyDeleteI just saw these in the sidebar and had to tell you gals that I cracked up when you guys were on Martha and talked about these. Only Martha could let you highlight your product then tell you why it wouldn't work for her... I was cracking up because she was like, "well my store isn't like this"... Uh, of course it isn't you shop on Mars... Or something.
ReplyDeleteAnyway - you gals were so gracious! It's why I love you and this blog!
Still laughing about Martha!

Love your blog! Was excited to download and print the grocery shopping list, but when I click on "download ... here" I just get a blank screen. I've tried this with the various colors, and get the same results. Any ideas? (Also, how would I print the version you show in the pix, with white background and colored text instead of patterned background?)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
On my way shopping with my new, adorable list!!! And you even added Costco into it--you're pretty much brilliant and read my mind! Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteI found you from Tip Junky...just a question....any chance you'd give me the one that says "Costco" in the orange color? I love that one and it's perfect for our house!
ReplyDeleteThanks
Just found your blog on The Things We find Inside. Your blog looks very interesting. I am glad I found you! Please stop by and check my blog out when you get a chance!

OK I really want this after seeing you on Martha last week. I am wondering if there was some sort of secret to get it to print out. I started following you through my google reader, do you check that and then send me a code or something? Is it me am I doing something wrong that it will not format to print? I really like you and want to be your friend, and I really want to go grocery shopping with this list. I know you can call me a looser that is OK
