When I find recipes I like I make an ingredients list so I can easily add it to my shopping list when I want to make it again. My lists are setup so I can just copy the whole meal with ingredients over to the day I want to cook it then copy the ingredients list straight from there and work it into my shopping list. I include all the herbs, spices, oils etc so I can check whether I have enough of everything while I'm refining the list.
I used to just wing it in the shops and during the week but I found it hard to make new things and ended up wasting so much food. This takes a bit more time planning but everything is fresh/defrosted when I need it, theres no stress with working out what I'm making each day, and I waste significantly less.
yes shopping list is necessity, people are not capable of hide-and-seeking a 20+ item list without at least pen and paper
