In the office supply/stationary section at Target, you can find these pads of grocery lists from Real Simple. Meal planning helps me figure out what ingredients I need for my main dishes each week, but by using this preset list I’m reminded to fill in with extra fresh produce, breakfasts and snacks, and pantry staples. And the pads last forever, I shop almost weekly and the pad on my fridge right now is going on almost two years now.
The Real Simple version I use is currently only available at Target. For others that you can order on Amazon right now, here are some cute options:
I also keep a magnetic pen cup like kids would use in their lockers on my fridge to keep pens, Sharpies, and scissors for clipping coupons handy.

Oh wow that is an awesome idea!! I am forever typing/printing grocery lists and usually always forget SOMETHING.
It’s so funny that you post this – I have been looking for a preprinted grocery list for the past few weeks. I can’t find the Real Simple one at Target, but I do like the one from Knock Knock.
Here’s to being organized!
Wow you are so freaking organized. I would go out & buy this pad but knowing me, it would last me for a couple of years since I would be so inconsistent in my use of it.
I’m actually most impressed by the idea of a magnetic pencil cup for the fridge. Normally our dry erase pens go all over the place! Thanks!
