Take Picture of List with Cell Phone

I have a big white board in the kitchen on which I make the grocery list as I think of items. It's easier than looking for a list to add to or having lots of little pieces of paper to keep track of. The problem with this is that I have to copy the list by hand onto paper when I go to the store. The other day, I was in a hurry to leave the house and thought, "there must be a better way". It occurred to me to take a picture of the list with my cell phone camera. It worked GREAT! No papers no re-copying.

Great idea. I found a free app that I can make my grocery list with. I can keep 'always' items and check them off and I can add to my list the 'once' items and not have to worry about them again. I love apps!

Great idea on taking picture of list. Thanks. Caught this large mouth bass yesterday fishing with my remoter control boat. Yes, it has a workable rod and reel mounted on deck and can reel in a fish up to 15 lbs. Not a toy.

Thanks for reminding me! I used to use my Polaroid Camera to take pictures of Dry Board messages at workshops.
