Used to hand-write my grocery list on scrap paper every single Friday

Now I just snap a photo of my fridge and cupboards with my phone before I leave. Takes 10 seconds instead of 5 minutes of me trying to remember what I'm out of. Anyone else do this or am I just lazy?

Takes 10 seconds instead of 5 minutes" is exactly why I switched too, but here's the thing nobody talks about - you end up forgetting the stuff in the back of the freezer or that random half-empty jar of pickles. I started doing a quick verbal note into my phone while I'm actually looking, since photos miss the hidden shelf stuff (which is always where the weird leftovers live).

Now I just pretend I'm talking to my pantry and hope nobody hears me.

Three forgotten bags of frozen peas in the back of my freezer can confirm the hidden shelf thing. I once took a photo before grocery shopping and then bought another jar of pickles only to find three unopened ones crammed behind the baking soda. Now I just mutter a voice memo into my phone like a crazy person, listing the weird stuff I actually have, like that half-empty bottle of hoisin sauce from 2022.
