Grocery Shopping~ Organized or Not?

This happens to me about 85% of the time or I bring it and FORGET I have it.  Grocery shopping used to be fun but not so much these days.  Not sure what changed oh yeah FOOD PRICES have gone up so much.  I hate the BOGO deals because it seems they raise the price so really you are getting both items for what they should be sold at.  

I do sit down and make out a list but when I get to the store and find items on SALE then I change up my menu.  Stick to the PLAN PAM but it doesn't always happen.  I'm not a big coupon person but every once in awhile I'll use coupons but is it worth the time and trouble?  Some grocery clerks are not always so nice at a couple of the stores I go to- not because of the store I just thinks it's their personality- mad at the world syndrome.  They scare me from using coupons because I see how they treat others- rolling of the eyes and the way they speak to the customer.   However, it would be nice to save some money!  

The day I go grocery shopping I write up my weekly menu after researching for hours on Pinterest on the cool foods I want to make that week.  I try to write the list in order of the aisle of stores- keep me on track I guess.  

What are your Tips/Tricks on GROCERY SHOPPING?
