    It has happened to me multiple times now that I go to the supermarket because I need a specific product and then end up forgetting to buy it because I bought so much other stuff that I don’t even need

    I write it down on my phone - then proceed to not check my phone, almost every time ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ

      I forget what I need while im halfway through writing my list.

      Its ok though I normally remember at 2:17am whole lying awake staring at the ceiling.

    I count the number of items to get, and tell myself to remember the number, then I sometimes summon devil’s help to recall the very last item at the store. Half probability of successfully remembering to get the items justifies not writing in the first place.

        Yes, we are just training ourselves by living life the hard mode, because life is hard. We do not take the easy route.

    This is why I can’t go shopping alone

    It doesn’t help that our local stores change their layout on a regular basis for whatever reason. My guess is to keep the customers in the store longer.

    Is that Sponge Bob face actually in the show or a Photoshop with Homer Simpson. Can’t tell if its one of those inter-frame funny shots.

    Oh it’s fine at the store. But coming home and realizing what you’ve forgotten, that’s the real fun.
