When I started working on it, I remembered leaving my job at a high tech firm years ago. I was still in Administrative Management mode, and I started applying my organizational tendencies at home, much to the amusement and frustration of my family. When it came to shopping, I did what any self-respecting micro-manager would do. I sat down with my spreadsheet program and made a full-page list of E V E R Y T H I N G we might possibly buy in the line of food and household supplies. On shopping day, I just printed out the spreadsheet and checked the cabinets. Instead writing down everything that we needed, I simply crossed off what we didn't. To me, it was foolproof. The list was divided into categories -- fruits/vegetables, breads, and so on -- and these categories appeared in the same order as the aisles in the store. Wait! It gets worse. The shopping list spreadsheet was tied to a 30-day menu spreadsheet! It even had tiny squares at the bottom to check off as the items went into the cart representing each dollar spent.
