I imagine myself standing in the bathroom going "I need conditioner" in the clothing if I remember it that I was wearing (for example yesterday when I know I thought "I need _____" and didn't write it on the list in my phone because my hands were wet or whatever)
But also in our house you just go to the store 2x a week
1 to the good store for most of the stuff
2 a couple days later for the things you forget and fresh veggies for tonight's thing
Repeat forever
Sometimes I squeeze a 3rd trip for party/event in at the weekend
I hate how brains do this. Remembering that there was 'something important' that needed to be remembered, but not what it was. Like bro, you remembered the wrong part!
If I had the know how for it, I'd create an app that tracks your location and detects stores as you walk into them. So as as you walk into Costco, your phone chirps and tells you, "You need toilet paper while you're here."
Well, I for example am brilliant in writing everything I want to buy on a piece of paper... and forget it at home.
(I don't like to take notes on my phone and I might forget that at home too. But my memory is often good enough to remember the most important stuff and I live close to the shops).
I have a Shopping list on my phone with regular items and immediate needs. I check it many times as I wander the store. If I don't add items to the list, at the time I think of them, I probably won't remember when I get to the store!
This is why I dm my friends with random items I need and then pin it in their chat so it's there when I'm wondering what I've forgotten.
Yes the notepad app works too but you don't get the confused responses with using it so it's not as good.
I created a discord server for just my husband and I to gather this kind of information. We keep threads for shopping, online shopping, child-related stuff, and more, which we (mostly I) add things into as they comes up. It has upped our efficiency a lot, so I always recommend it.

And it might leap out at you
So far this is the only method I've discovered for retrieving the "what did I need again?" Before leaving the store

or a trip to the $1 store first
You won’t remember while at the store, but suddenly at 11:45pm while trying to sleep… you remember.
would you not remember you have the note when you realise you don't remember about something? Or when you walk into the store?

DB and I were discussing our weekly trip to Bayonne (Costco, Lidl, Whole Pets, and Shop N Stop.
