We went to the grocery store (commissary) Saturday rather than our usual Sunday. We were wanting to combine trips, so we went early. I thought I had my list complete. It seems that was not the case. I've discovered about six things I still need. So I will go to a more local store today to pick those things up.
Prior to this trip, we have spent $207 on groceries. I would guess another $20 and we should be good through mid month.
I'm realizing I need to start using our Amex card for groceries. We have the Blue Cash Everyday which provides 3% back on groceries and 2% on gas stations. I know there is an American Express that offers 6% but I believe that one has an annual fee. I never used the American Express before because we did so much of our grocery shopping at Super Target and used our Red Card for 5% off.
I will talk with my husband about this and see if he is willing to work with two cards for purchases. We usually just work with one at a time, so this would be a change.
Do you forget things on your grocery list sometimes too? Which rewards card(s) do you use for groceries?

Maybe when I'm done with the Discover deal I'll use my AmEx for groceries. I have $12 cash back just sitting on the card I can't do anything with right now. Otherwise I just use my Swagbucks card for everything.

You are super organized 98% of the time...why beat up on yourself?
When prepping for special occasions or holidays plus changing regular shopping days, it's not unusual to forget a lists, miss items on the list or some small detail ! Would you find it helpful to do initial planning on a grocery app on your cell phone? These are easily erased with one stroke on edit mode when task has been completed.
