Tired of wandering grocery store aisles, forgetting key ingredients, and overspending on items you don’t need? If so, it’s time to simplify your shopping routine. In this post, I’m sharing my super-simple and efficient grocery shopping method using a pre-made list in Apple Notes. This approach saves me time, keeps my spending in check, and ensures I always have everything I need for the week.
Whether you’re new to grocery planning or looking for a way to streamline your process, this step-by-step guide will show you how to shop with intention and stay organized.
Why Use a Pre-Made Grocery List?
1. Save Time: No more rewriting lists every week.
2. Stay Focused: Categories and checkboxes keep you on track.
3. Avoid Overspending: Stick to your list to prevent impulse buys.
My Grocery List Method in Action
I keep my pre-made grocery list stored in Apple Notes, organized into categories like Produce, Dairy, Pantry, and Household Items. The best part? Checkboxes next to each item make it easy to track what I need for the week—just check items you need before shopping and uncheck them off as I go.
Here’s how you can do the same:

4. Stick to the Plan: Check off items as you add them to your cart to avoid buying duplicates.
