How do you do your grocery shopping?

I think of a few essential items I definitely want to buy. After those are out of the way, I go through basically each isle and pick out whatever I want, while still holding budget into consideration. I don't bother to write things down, though. If I forget to buy something, I just pick it up on my next trip. There's numerous supermarkets in my area, so going grocery shopping really isn't out of the way. Besides, carrying those shopping bags home builds muscle, right? ;]

We share the same habit, and I guess your husband's warning is also the same tactic most husbands use, including my own husband! LOL! I guess shopping is the least liked chore of men because for them IT is stressful...but for us women, shopping is relaxing and causes a "eu-stress" instead of the men's "distress". So next time your husband tags along with you to your trips to the grocery, remind him that shopping is what women most enjoy doing and that he can just sit in one corner and wait up. I did that to my husband once who insisted to accompany me to the mall; I agreed but on condition that he just sits in one corner and just patiently wait for me. And oh, did I tell you that I warned him that my being in the mall would take me longer than he could stand, so I asked him to choose: wait for me, or just come back when I'm through. Of course he chose to wait.

more likely i get a cart and start getting all i the stuff i want without a lsit because iam so into not rteing and u know lol but then its to much i shoped but oh well wait a minute on my bill its too much and then again i do the same no matter what and iam under alot of debt and iam a single parent.

I also have the habit of not only going through all the aisles of the grocery, but all the floors of a shopping mall as well. I like cheap and fabulous finds, that I like to see everything that is on sale. I don't want to miss a good buy you know. And when I do find a good buy, I get them by the bulk, because I know that they easily run out of stock. I'm an impulse buyer, what more can I say?! :P

before i will go on shopping, i make sure that i made a lists of things i'm going to buy and those only things that is needed..if i do have lists, i can make my shopping so easy and i can manage time for picking things in the grocery store..i go on every lane to make sure that i will not go back..same here, i enjoyed shopping..and i love it..lol

I like to zigzag up and down the aisles also. This way if there is a good sale on something, I don't miss it. I do usually stick to my list though. Otherwise, I could be in some trouble financially.

If I have a small list I will try to stick to it and not go down any aisles I do not need items from. When we are shopping for the week together, he tries to go only to what we need but I more like to go up and down each aisle as I may spot something I forgot to put on the list. Grocery shopping can be a panic attack waiting to happen if I do not have a list. I get anxious, afraid I have forgotten something.

aakkkhhhhhhhhhhhh Dont remind me I need to go to the store! grummble mummble groan! sigh
