I purchased a special pen which attaches to a lanyard around my neck. I bring it with me when I go shopping to make sure I (a.) cross everything off my list and therefore do not miss anything, and (b.) never lose my pen.

many companies give out pens on ropes. i work at a drs office and drug companies give these pens to the office by the boatload. i have several yes they are great.
Should you ever lose that pen, or it runs out of ink, check with a local dollar shop or Walmart for a replacement lanyard pen. You're sure to find a bargain there. :)
I have one of those pen "necklaces" and I originally got to use when I did craft fairs....it makes sense to use one when shopping....no digging for your pen ea time you want to cross an item off your list. However, if you find yourself w/o a pen another way to indicate what you've already found on your list is to just tear the paper through that item....just start from the edge and tear straight through that item written on your list.
Any tips on how to not lose your LIST?? My mom and I always have that problem.
For Astoria 708: If you carry a checkbook in your purse, get a checkbook cover, and a pad which fits it. Put your checkbook and register in, and then put the pad in too. Use the pad for your lists. Since I always carry my checkbook, I always have my list. I bought my checkbook cover in a thrift store for $1, and my paper 3/$1 at the $store, so it was not expensive. When I use up the boughten pads, I will make my own from recycled junk mail etc.
Kind of a silly thing to buy. Any pen with a clip can slip on any lanyard or chain you already have.
