 NB>>> When we were shopping for other households besides just our own,
 NB>>> I'd have fairly comprehensive lists for the other households,
 RH>> That must have been fun, juggling multiple lists and purchase orders.
 RH>> Were they all satisfied with the same brands basically or did you have
 RH>> to buy Brand X for one person, Brand Y for another?
 NB>> Sometimes I could get them to be happy with the same brand of
 NB>> something, but there were times when someone wanted something
 NB>> specific... that would be noted on the list, of course..  :)

 RH> I understand, there are some things I want only in specific brands.
 
Likewise... even if it's just Wegmans' brand... ;)

 RH>> I keep my coupons in a small bill file type thing. Used to have a box
 RH>> but left it in a buggy in one of the stores here a few years ago & it
 RH>> never resurfaced.
 NB>> Mine's the fabric envelope with velcro type... at one point I carried
 NB>> two of them, to separate out the types of coupons better, but only
 NB>> have used the one now for many years....

 RH> Mine's more of a stiff plastic exterior envelope, thin, flexible
 RH> plastic dividers and an elastic loop closure. Not the greatest,
 RH> but it works. 

I've seen that type... I've had mine for forever... probably some wicked
deal I may have had to send off for... 

 RH>> Steve would rather I do a list any time it gets over 2 items. Helped
 RH>> today, as I gave him the list (4 items) as I took care of something
 RH>> else.
 NB>> Any time Richard goes by himself to do the shopping, I have to send
 NB>> a detailed list, down to the specifics...  But since it usually is
 NB>> a joint effort, he justs trusts me to remember what needs getting...
 NB>> If it's something particularly that he wants, he generally has to
 NB>> remember that one...  ;)

 RH> We do a mix of Steve, me, or both. Found we work best with a list,
 RH> general for me, specific for Steve unless it's something like furnace
 RH> filters. Then it's specific for me, general for Steve. (G)

Groceries we go together...  anything else, pretty much we're each on
our own...  List or no depends on how much needs remembering, pretty
much, especially for anything non-grocery...  :)  When I'm at camp, I
tend to make up a list, since remembering once one leaves the premises
can be a trick somedays...  ;)  And one isn't likely to make the trip
right when one thinks of something, rather more likely to wait for a
number of things that need getting, and then make one major trip into
town...  :)

 NB>>> And a little pinned note could serve the purpose as well..  :)
 RH>> Using up all of my pins? (G)
 NB>> Point.  ;)

 RH> Ouch! Seriousy, I've got a lot more pins than projects.

One would hope so...  (G)

 RH>> But I have cut out a couple of shirts for Santa since then. I'm going
 RH>> to take another week to work on projects for me, then start working on
 RH>> his shirts. Having them pre cut will make sewing go faster.
 NB>> All in due time... and yes, having the cutting already done should
 NB>> make the sewing part be more efficient...  :)

 RH> The sewing will go very fast, overall. I've made the one pattern a
 RH> good number of times, the other one will go together fast (even with
 RH> modifications).

Practice makes things go easily, for sure...  as does just general
competency...  ;)  I'm sure that projects that would bog me down would
just fly along for you..  :)
