Grocery lists

Do you ever forget things when you're at the grocery store?  Someone besides me must otherwise why would they ask everyone at check out if they got everything they needed, right?  I often remember what I forgot to pickup just as I'm getting home from the grocery store.  Lately I always bring a list with me, but somehow there is always a point of failure that I manage to find.  Sometimes I write "snacks" on the list and I do not get the snacks everyone wanted.  This week I completely forgot to wright some items on the list.  Its not always enough to have a list (especially if you don't write everything you need on the list).  Then there are those times that I have a great and thorough list and when I get to the parking lot of the grocery store I realize that list is on the counter at home. 

A text with a picture of the list in it is a big time saver.  Cell phones do good things besides create distractions!

Its hard to try and remember it all and when I'm trying I feel like I just can't keep up with everything.  I really focus some weeks and I end up missing a whole recipe that had shopping list items I need.  Now who's going to help me remember to buy the stuff I need to make pies for Thanksgiving?
