Shopping Bop

I do it all the time… I forget to take my shopping list with me to the store. I have a list on the refridgerator that everyone can use to write down items that we need. Many times, I forget to take the list off of the fridge before I leave to go shopping. I have to try to remember what was on the list while I am in the store. I sometimes repeat keywords that will help me to remember. Yesterday was one of the days that I went to a store unprepared. I arrived at the craft store with little clue as to why I was there. I began going up and down all of the aisles, hoping that if I saw an item that I needed, it would spark my memory. I started to recall some items on the list. I needed a crochet hook, silk flowers for a kitchen centerpiece, and yarn to make an afghan. I began repeating the phrase, “crochet flowers yarn“. This helped me to remember what I needed until I had the items in my cart. I checked my list when I got home. Surprisingly, I remembered that I needed, and purchased, all of the items that were on the list.
