Do you ever go shopping when you're hungry? I'm talking like grocery/food shopping. Do you tend to buy more food that way, or how does being hungry affect your shopping habits??I ask because I tend to buy more food when I'm starving! LOL I will go looking for a few things, and buy much more food than intended. Does anyone else do this??

Yes, sometimes I go grocery shopping when I'm hungry and it turns out that nearly everything appeals to me, and so I end up buying that much more. It's always better to go when you're not too hungry. Not too full either, as you will neglect to buy certain things like snack foods that your family may really need later.

yep, I buy lots of snacky things when I'm hungry, and then I usually don't end up wanting them when I get home lol We try and make sure that we always go after we've had lunch :)

Yes, my mom did teach me those things!! You'd think I'd remember that when the time comes! LOL I will be out running errands, then run by the store for a quick trip. That works well. I am going to try and remember though! LOL

It has been said the best thing to do for grocery shopping is to eat before you go shopping so you are not tempted to by what you don't need. but for me it never works I still get jusnk food.

I agree that it is a wonderful idea to subscribe to...eating first, that is. But, that said, I don't always remember that until it's too late! haha
