Scenario: You have just returned home from the store and realize that you forgot tissues, the mustard and the the meat for the hamburgers. And, when you open the fridge, you discover that you are out of yogurt and didn’t even know it. It happens to the best of us. This is why the “All Out of Pad” by Knock Knock, a magnetized fridge pad, is a simple yet amazing invention. Put it on your fridge and check things off as you run out of them, or check off the items on your meal plan. If you have an in-home caregiver or an older child who wants to make sure you don’t forget the special snacks, he or she can check off items as well. At the end of the week, you’ll have a fully formed (and hopefully accurate) shopping list. We’ve been using it at Ittybits, and boy does it make a difference. It helps save gas too (no more extra trips to the store for those forgotten items.) Of course, you can always put up a blank pad yourself and keep your own list, but this is nice because it categorizes things into product types, similar to how a grocery store is organized.
