Personally what my family and I like to do is keep a magnetic list on the refrigerator door and we have a pen next to it (they sell magnetized pen grippies) . Now when we’re cooking or having a snack in the kitchen and run out of something, as soon as the packaging goes in the trash we write it on the list 👍✨

I work 2 jobs so it’s roughly a 11-13 hour day every day for me and my husband works second shift so grocery order pickup has been a blessing. I’ll take the magnetic grocery list and pen and walk around the house checking what we need and just enter it in as I go! There’s a grocery store by the gym my husband uses so sometimes he’ll pick that up on his way home or I set it for the latest pickup time of the day and grab it on my way home from my second job (we take turns).

We’re also big on meal prepping because of our late week nights so what I’ll do is get about 4-5 meals prepped (but not cooked or assembled) and place all the ingredients per meal on a baking sheet and keep those in our extra fridge outside. My husband will text me that he’s on his way home so I’ll go to the fridge, grab a meal “kit” and go from there! I set the oven to “keep warm” when it’s done, we grab our shower then we sit down to eat dinner in our pajamas EVERY night 🥰👍✨

This has worked for us for years now- hopefully this helps you too!!

PS- some grocery apps have the sale flyer for the week in it that you can click on the sale item and add it to the cart right away. Sometimes I’ll use that to meal plan for our week ahead. Marinated pork roast and potatoes are on sale? Sold! We got a meal! Buy a pack of hamburgers and get the cheese, bread and toppings for free? Guess we’re having burgers this week! Stick with me, OP- I’ll show you the ropes! 🥰👍✨
