Thread: Making a master grocery list - To avoid running out!

Do you create a master list of basic staples to keep on your fridge?

We keep a list of common items our family tends to either go fairly quickly- but always seem too busy to tell me if we run out.

Milk
Cereal
bread
Mayo
Yogurt (we make our own and they're supposed to make a note if we're running low)
Juice
Cheese
Cream Cheese
Bagels (again, homemade but it's nice if they let me know when we're running low so I can make more)

When my kids were young I used to have a little penalty if they didnt mark off an item when they used it all. Something little like no tv for the day, or they got an extra chore. It really helped to spark their memory for next time.
