Just realized a cook at a diner in Tulsa told me 'write it down or you'll forget it' and it fixed my grocery problem

I was eating breakfast at a diner in Tulsa last week and the cook behind the counter saw me squinting at my phone trying to remember what I needed from the store. He said 'write it down or you'll forget it' and tapped a little notepad he keeps by the register. I started keeping a running list on my fridge with a dry erase marker and I've cut my grocery runs from 3 times a week to once. Saved about $60 in two weeks just from not buying stuff I already had. Now I'm wondering what other small habits I'm missing, what's one dumb little thing that made a big difference for you?
