Oh totally. I cannot count the number of times my daughter was on the phone, talking actively to either me or her Dad while walking back home, alone, in the evening hours.
On my phone screen are my apps and I have an app icon for my notes:For the moment I just use post it notes on my phone.
But I do find myself paper jotting, then snapping a pic.
What I lack most is the discipline to go through the fridge, freezer and pantry prior to shopping.
It's been a crazy and strenuous year, when things subside, I hope to have the calm and the time to practise this elevated, better shoplist preparation.
Recently, e.g.I bought soy sauce twice within a week because a) I forgot I had purchased it, b) I didn't look to check stated under a)
Exactly! Just last year I was sitting in my car in a parking lot and a man came up and tried to open my car door (it was locked--that's a strong habit of mine that I've taught my daughters as well). He started banging on the window and screaming for me to open the door. I picked up my phone and let him see i was calling 911 emergency and he ran off. By the time the police got there he was long gone. Shook me up though.
Oh yes! I too use a Samsung, and it looks the same. I have inserted a quick translation into English of my most recent list.
My daughter does, but she doesn't shop very often.
Yes, another great reason to have a smartphone. I also like taking a photo of a food item or product while at the store and texting my husband asking if he wants it.
Glad it works for you. I would have a hard time finding time to enter things on the cell phone. I do have one and it is a smart phone. I rarely carry it and almost never use it. I prefer using a computer with a proper keyboard and the computer has the benefit of its inability to receive and send texts. Luckily I have found a cell service that costs only $13.15 per month, everything included. Want to talk to me? I have two landline numbers you can use, even with a cell phone.
So true.
I have a landline, 2 desktop computers, a laptop, a cellphone, and lots of time, lol. Thinking about getting a tablet too...lol. Nah. I'm good!Glad it works for you.

I understand the utility and the wild popularity of cell phones. I just prefer using computers. Years ago I had a systems integration business and never grew out of it I guess. My landlines are actually VOIP on the the internet. I have 3 laptops and 5 desktops on the network. Most of them are for the business.
I can't lug my computers into the stores when I'm working lol. My laptop is cumbersome as well and certainly is not discreet, as sometimes my work involves being covert. A smartphone is discreet and for taking timings on service it's wonderful.
My DH usually texts me what he forgot he needed after I've left the store!I’m at the other end of the spectrum. I have a cellphone, and…wait, that’s all I have!
The last words out of my mouth before I head out to shop are, “Text me if you think of something you want!” - and there’s usually something she thinks of.
