Shopping List

Wonder: Do you Westerners really keep a list with you when shopping?

Hi, It depends on what I'm shopping for. At the supermarket, for a week's groceries, I like a list. If i'm shopping for a new TV, I don't need a list.

Hi,

It depends on what I'm shopping for.

At the supermarket, for a week's groceries, I like a list.

If i'm shopping for a new TV, I don't need a list.

I agree with Clive.

I like having a list especially when I go to large shopping malls. The list not only helps me remember what I need to buy, but also helps me not to be tempted to buy lots of other stuff that are crying "Buy me! Buy me!" from the shelves!

I'd agree with Clive? It's not limited to Westerners is it? Doesn't everybody need a list to know what to buy. If I go out to buy 4 things, maybe I can just remember, but anything more than that, I'll probably forget one or 2 items.

I don't usually take a list with me. I just enjoy seeing and buying, spending time out without fixed purposes is also a good thing. When I've bought more than I need, I'd just give them away to my sister when she visits me.
