ListPlanIt’s Magnetic Grocery List Notepads are here! Having an organized grocery list ready for a trip to the supermarket is an important part of saving time and money. The first step is to jot down a list of meals that you will be preparing in the upcoming week, 2 weeks, or month (whatever length of time you prefer to do your meal planning). Once you have a meal plan, simply go dish by dish and list all of the ingredients that you need. Listing these ingredients in an orderly fashion will help tremendously when you are in the store and looking for the things you need. You can create your own from one of several grocery lists in Meal Planning available to members at ListPlanIt.com. Not yet a member?

Nice post but these are not categories. These are departments. A product category is more specific. For instance Frozen Foods is a department and Pizza is a product category.
Love this! You're right, organizing your shopping list this way makes trips to the grocery store so much faster! Without it, I find myself zigging zagging around, looking like a crazy person.
