A grocery list can help you stay organized on your dairy-free diet. If you maintain a running list of what you need — and add to it whenever you notice you’re running low on something — you stand a much better chance of coming home with that food when you shop. A grocery list also can help you curb the impulse to buy things you shouldn’t eat or don’t need.
How you use your grocery list is up to you. Some people like to plan a week’s worth of meals at a time, and they shop for those supplies once a week. Other people prefer to keep a supply of staples on hand at all times.
Consider drafting a grocery list in the order in which the items are found in the store. Doing so can help you shop faster, because you won’t find yourself running back and forth to pick up items you may have overlooked on the opposite side of the store. Doing a mental rundown of the aisles as you make your list also may prevent you from forgetting some of the things you need.
