I do! Sadly, I always get sidetracked by other things in the store that's not on my list. SOmetimes I do need those things, but most of the time I'll pick up a new shampoo or a box of chocolates that I didn't really intent to buy in the first place. It's so easy to just buy things when you're in the store already. I think that I'm already in the store so I might as well save on another trip and buy what I want now.

I have been guilty of buying items that I did not place on my list. However, if I buy something that is not on my list, it's usually on sale or it's something that I had thought about buying for quite sometime of which I found for a really excellent price. I try to stay away from buying items unless it's really one of those things I had thought about buying to begin with.

I am usualy pretty good about sticking to my list, the only time I ever deviate from it is when I take my sons with me. The have a habit of putting things in my cart when I am not looking, I have a hard time saying no to them so I usualy end up letting them get whatever it is as long as it dose not cost that much.

In my house, every week my mom would get something that is not on her list because it just happened to be on sale. I know I have done too. I will go in there to get some things to eat lunch at work and end up coming out with more lol. I am trying my best to stick with a list when I go to the grocery store since I am trying to cut down my weight some.

I some times do this type of things. I fell guilty to do such type of things. I just gone to the shop and buy things what ever necessary and buy some things what ever not in my list. But I buy some useful things which is not mentioned in my list. Happy to share your views. Happy myLotting.

I to buy sometimes things that are not on list. I always like to take a little extra if i find something interesting while shopping my listed items. Most of the times i like to add something for me and my girl, like a chocolate or something like that.
