I forgot it! Which is rare. I sometimes call someone at home to read me what's on my list if I accidentally leave it on the counter. I try to just write it out and stick it in my purse in the same thought.

The downside to this is I will sometimes think of something I wanted to add to the list but forget. 9 times out of 10, if it isn't on my list I will forget to buy it.
