Make a Reusable Shopping List

A reusable shopping list is a shopping list that you can use over and over again. It lists all the foods that you ever use. Before doing your shopping, you check your kitchen and highlight each of the things on your reusable shopping list that you need to buy. You can also sit down with a cook book and highlight items on your list that you need for a recipe you plan to cook. As you get each item from the shops, you rub the whiteboard marking off the list.

Materials and tools needed

• Paper
• Printer (or a pen if you don't have a printer)
• Cardboard
• Scissors
• Two small key rings
• plastic sleeves
• sticky tape
• Paper glue
• White board marker
