    I always forget drinks. Like soda or lemonade or even milk! I just forget that liquids are just as important as food.
    Great giveaway! My email is on my blog. Thanks!

    Oh geesh, well, on any given day I usually forgot the main ingredient of whatever I'm planning to cook that night. Take yesterday – I was making enchiladas and forgot to get tortillas!

    Would love this journal btw. Perfect for jotting down last minute wedding notes!

    Cheers,

    1. Always forgot things like spices or seasoning packets (which is nice for my wallet since those things are darn expensive).

    Coconut milk. I always want to make chicken curry, but without coconut milk it's chicken with curry, not chicken curry. I've forgotten for the last 3 months, and my chicken curry deficit is growing rapidly.

    Usually it's some main ingredient to something (oh like yesterday I forgot to get chicken for the chicken recipe I was going to make – duh). Mostly it's just cheese or yogurt, something like that. But I always forget something!

    Baked tofu, even though I was joking with my bf about how awesome it is that we both love baked tofu during the drive there.

    I also, ironically, forgot my brand-new list pad AT the check-out counter. I hope someone else out there is enjoying using it now.

    Anything in the aisles. I stumble around the perimeter of the store in a mindless circle and then leave the store. Very silly.

    I don't typically forget things at the grocery store b/c I am a mad list maker. Which is why this journal would be perfect for me. I do, however, forget to buy one thing on purpose and that is cat litter. I hate lugging it around.

    I always forget to pick up milk because the gallon is heavy I get it last since I don't want it in my basket while I'm walking around hunting for the rest of my items. I don't use a cart because it tends to make me meander more and then I end up picking up things I spot along the way that I didn't intend to get originally.
