7. I just use a list for coupon stuff

I love google docs because I can make a list on my laptop, and read it on my cell phone. I just have the one perpetual shopping list and update each week as needed.

But the rest of my shopping is deliberately impulse, not meal based. Last week I ran into a 20 pound box of tomatoes for $2, so I grabbed it. In the other market there was a bag of about 8 avocados for $1.49. When I find deals like that I snatch them up and build the meals around that.
