List or inspiration? You use a list when you go to shopping?

If I didn't have a list, I would never remember everything that I need. Part of my problem is remembering to take the list with me. I don't always stay true to the list. If something I want to try isn't on sale, I may wait until the next week. There are those times that the store is having a great sale on something I use; not necessarily need, I'll throw it in the cart. Can't pass up a good bargain. Temptation is everywhere in a grocery store!!

i usually make a list before shopping so that i cannot forget the things i need.sometimes i spend extra money for food only so that my budget will no be ruin..

Well, that depends. If I plan to buy a lot things, I usually have to make a list in case I may forget to buy some of them as such a thing did happen many times. I I have no definite plan and just linger around the supermaket randomly, then list is not needed. I may buy anything that interests me, such as chocolate, jelly, nut etc.. though I don't like eating them very much. The result is I have to spend more money than I had expected. This is really a bad habit. Sometimes, I just can't refuse the temptation and buy a lot of unnecessary stuff. I think I'd make a list whenever I go shopping and I must learn to stick strictly to my list.

When I usually go shopping, I don't really have list of the things I should be getting, or shall I say the things I'll get.. I must admit I'm usually an impulsive buyer, I get stuff that I don't really need, which I know isn't good. But I'm a spendthrift too, I spend but being more practical, which I think a good thing.. I don't really go shopping, but I enjoy window shopping.. Give me ideas with trends and stuff.

I usually make a list before I go shopping, otherwise I forget half of the things that I need to buy. Sometimes I stick to my list, but most of the time I buy a few things that I didn't put on the list. "Candy" is usually not on my list, but I often end up buying some candy anyway I also tend to buy other things that I don't really need. Actually I am really bad at sticking to my list. I often promise myself to stick to the list and avoid buying unneccesary things, but so far I haven't learned to keep my promise

When I'm doing a big shopping I make a list of everything we need plus a menu for the two weeks. Of course things are added once we are shopping because something good is on sale or I have a craving for something while shopping. As for kids once in while my granddaughter will come. We allow her one thing that she can have.

I find if I have a list I tend to stick to it and not get any extra stuff. If I don't have a list I tend to buy stuff I really don't need and spend more.

Usually when I go to shopping I have some things to buy in mind just to make sure that I am really in the mood to go for a good shopping so I do not make a list on paper but in my head. Then when I go there it might be the list I made is just too bad to decline and I buy things which I find gorgeous directly. Sometimes when I go to shopping I find things which I have not thought will be there and then I instanly buy it. So a list is not too good for me. I am more tempted to buy things without a list.

I don't have a list when I go shopping. I thnk even if I did I would still be tempted by special offers. I don't generally like to eat the same things all the time. If you go with a list you might just get the things you need, and maybe save some money. But it would get too boring for me. If I do want to save money I usually have a meal before I go shopping, that way I don't buy things just because I'm feeling hungry.

Yes I need a list! I use coupons and sales to get the most out of my money, and a list is necessary to help me remember all the deals at whatever store I'm visiting (but it's also great at helping me spend less.) I try to shop alone because I will spend more if my family is with me. Example: I planned out a shopping trip once, I was going to spend around $16. I ended up taking my son along. He wanted a sucker and a box of goldfish. They weren't unreasonably priced, but they added $4 (25% increase) to my total, and I didn't get as much bang for my buck. I do purchase items not on my list if I see a really good clearance deal (like the day-old bakery items...yum!)
