Keep Your Shopping List In Place

Since becoming a mom, I no longer have the luxury of popping in for just one item at the grocery store or Target. No, this is a planned affair, usually scheduled at a time when my daughter's in school and my son has already had his morning nap. Occasionally, when I've had a busy week and we've run out of several things such as milk (my kids drink it like it's going out of style), we'll make a special Trader Joe's run after I pick my daughter up. It's like planning a scavenger hunt - after we find all our items, then she can go to the back of the store for a sample or some coffee (mostly half and half with a shot of decaf and some sugar for her). So you can be certain we have our list made and are ready to check it twice. If only there were a good way to keep up with it...

After I received the List Caddy, we gave it a shot. This clever little gadget holds your shopping list in place and clips right onto your shopping cart handle, sits on the countertop or sticks to your fridge with a magnetized back. The only downside is that if you're shopping with toddlers who sit in the front seat of the cart, your list becomes a toy for them to tear at, play with or chew on. But if you're shopping with a newborn, have your toddler in a carrier, or with older kids, the List Caddy is a great way to keep your shopping list at hand and your hands free.

Available in six fun colors for $5.99 each from List Caddy. Makes a great secret Santa gift or a stocking stuffer! Use code "LCFS-1" to save 15% when you buy 3 or more.
