× I think some people doesn't like to restrictive of shopping lists so they like to go and buy themselves a new product and and buy everything what they like without going through through a list.
✓ I think some people don't like to be restricted by shopping lists so they like to go and buy themselves a new product and buy everything they like without going through a list.
The subject 'some people' is plural, so the verb should be 'don't' instead of 'doesn't'. Also, 'to restrictive' is incorrect; it should be 'to be restricted' to form the correct passive infinitive. The phrase 'buy everything what they like' is incorrect; 'what' should be omitted to say 'buy everything they like'. Additionally, the repeated 'and' and 'through' are errors and should be corrected.
× Sometimes I like to go upon a list to find it easily and fast, not to browse when I go there and waste my money and time.
✓ Sometimes I like to follow a list to find things easily and quickly, not to browse when I go there and waste my money and time.
The preposition 'upon' is incorrectly used with 'go'; the correct phrase is 'follow a list'. Also, 'find it' is vague; 'find things' is clearer. 'Fast' as an adverb should be 'quickly' for proper adverbial form.
× So I prefer to make a list before going to shopping to save my money and time.
✓ So I prefer to make a list before going shopping to save my money and time.
The phrase 'going to shopping' is incorrect; the correct form is 'going shopping' without 'to'.
× Really I don't make a list for my work, but sometimes you need a list to to avoid the deadlines and you finish your work before the deadlines.
✓ Really, I don't make a list for my work, but sometimes you need a list to avoid deadlines and finish your work before them.
The repeated 'to' is an error. Also, 'the deadlines' is repeated unnecessarily; 'deadlines' without 'the' is more natural here. Using 'them' avoids repetition of 'deadlines'.
× Really, I prefer to make a list on my phone because I think it's easy to to make it correct without taking a pen, just buy a press.
✓ Really, I prefer to make a list on my phone because I think it's easy to make it correctly without taking a pen, just by a press.
The repeated 'to' is an error. 'Make it correct' should be 'make it correctly' to use the adverb form. 'Buy a press' is incorrect; it should be 'by a press' meaning by pressing a button.
