Mission #1: Shopping List

Dear Vegan at Heart,

Your first mission is to create a shopping list.

If you're like me, the following has happened: you stare at the fridge wishing you had something and you think, "Oh yeah! That's what I need! When I go to the store, I'll remember to get it." And then when you find yourself at the store on your way to someplace else while you're hungry and the store is about to close, you don't remember it.

A shopping list doesn't have to be a fancy pre-made Shopping List that you buy at the Shopping List Store. Here’s what you do:

1. Get a pad of paper or stack pieces of scrap paper into a neat little pile and put it in a convenient spot in the kitchen. Put a pencil next to it. When you're at home and you remember something that you need, pick your butt up, walk your butt to the kitchen, and write it down.

-OR-

2. If you have an electronic PDA or a Blackberry, create a shopping list on it. That way you will always have it with you!

Take your timer (cell phone timer or oven timer is fine), set it for 5 minutes, and complete your first mission. It will probably take less than 2 minutes!

A list makes a difference! It does make a difference, especially if you are trying to budget. I have to make a list for everything, but am also trying to plan out meals so list making is more productive than before. Thanks for what you are doing Marissa. I look forward to more!
