I think it's a deliberate ploy to get you to look at other things that you might not otherwise.

Most people just write a shopping list - and go.
If you don't mind me saying, I can't see why that is anything to do with being an engineer whatsoever.
How many engineers are there who would make a spreadsheet to go shopping I wonder?
I'm frightingley organised....Annoyingly organised, in fact this post should be in the 'What annoys you' thread.....
I have a spreadsheet list documenting everything we buy from Tesco.....
Mrs Fox or myself just scribble out the things we don't want each week.
It's even laid out in order of how it is found at the supermarket and even amended when things get moved so you can visit the store and progress round without going back.
We use the hand scanners and place the goods in two specially sized boxes that sit in the trolley, unless we are selected for a check (very rare) things do not come out of the boxes until we are home and unpacking them. Into the boot, and out into the house....
My underwear and socks are rotated each week to facilitate even wear, and the same clothes are worn each day summer or winter.....(changed regularly for washing obviously)
I pack my own luggage when going away, and am responsible for the obsessive tidyness of my wardrobe and drawers.
Like Floydy with his music, so I am with my running, every run I have ever done has a distance, time, and comment going back over forty years.
I also run a parallel bank account on a database and check it regularly with my banks to make sure we are singing from the same sheet, and to see at a glance my incomings and outgoings.
Being an apprentice trained engineer, I never borrow tools, if I need a tool I will buy it.
And I only grudgingly lend tools....
I cook dinner Monday to Friday and prepare menus a week in advance, and dinner is served at six thirty prompt....Unless we eat out....
I could go on, but it's time for lunch.....

Also, it's good to change things around once in a while. We would hate to be set in our ways wouldn't we? How boring would life be if we only did the same things over and over again?

Is this a man thing?
I am dreading today, got to find some important paperwork.

And it prevents you missing things off that you need. As a busy dad......
So you bought the same products every week?...then the children could choose one item for themselves ,which wasn't on the spreadsheet?
Sounds like a military operation!..

We get our groceries delivered so we rarely go to supermarkets for that.
My dear wife is a brilliant cook and we have new dishes regularly. The other night it was Cuban pulled pork. Amazing.

There is nothing quite like shopping in a supermarket...
I hate people choosing my food for me...especially fruit,veg,meat...I like to look at what I buy....up close.
Unless you are unable to...then it's a different story.
