This is an awesome pre-formatted list, in fact, it’s The Ultimatest.
Below are the best pre-formatted grocery lists ever created. I made them just for you—and they’re free. Print ’em out, hang ’em on the refrigerator door and mark ’em up before you go to the grocery store. We have comprehensive versions for both meat-eaters and vegetabletarians. Links are below.
And now there are fully-editable PDF and spreadsheet versions of the Deluxe list. That means that if you don’t have pets or kids, for example, you can edit those sections to be something else. If an item wasn’t on my pre-formatted list, now you can add it then print it out. How awesome is that? No customer support is offered. If you want to permanently edit the customizable PDF file you will need to buy Adobe Acrobat. Otherwise, edit it as you need then print it a bunch of copies. Enjoy.
PS: The New Yorker made a list of the 100 Best Lists of all Time and our Grocery List Collection list made the list!

User-made versions
Sometimes people send me their own versions or edits of these lists. I figured I’d start sharing them here, although most are buried in years of email. Send yours!

Why is it in a pdf format? Could you make it available in Word so most of us can mod and customize? Some of your listing, I never use.
Type your own customized list from the PDF. It only takes a few minutes.
Thank you so much. Trying to remember everything I’ll need to set up our vacation home had me crazy. Found this and was able to check off everything. Nothing was forgotten,
