Never go grocery shopping hungry! Agree?

Well, I will represent your exact antithesis. For me, whether I go to the supermarket hungry or satiated, and only buy only what I need, superb, I leave it lie on their shelves. Unfortunately, we are in an economic family disaster, I can not afford to spend money. Then moreover, are also slightly overweight, which is why, if I eat something less, is better!

Hi nrtan2ooo, first of all, welcome to myLot! =D Hope you are enjoying yourself here. I definitely agree one hundred percent on your statement. We should never go grocery shopping when hungry. I face the same problem like you too. If i go grocery when i am hungry, i would buy anything i love eating. It was as if i could swallow up the whole lot once i get home. But that would surely lead me to regret for buying so much. LOL, so i would normally go do marketing after my meals, that would be more appropriate. Otherwise, i would remind and convince myself that i would never be able to finish them all if i insist to buy. Hehee..

I go to the super with a list and stick to it, so being hungry had no meaning as buying goes. I cannot afford to buy something I don`t need. Extras are usually twice expensive as the needed food.

I agree! I have experienced that and I really am amazed to see my bill. When I arrive home, I can't even finish 2 of the food I bought. A waste sometimes. Lesson learned from that day on, I make sure I eat before I go to the grocery.

we should always maintain the list or else we end up buying extra things which are not required and add extra budget.

if you go shopping hungry you`ll end up thinking what your gonna eat instead of focusing on your groceries.. So the thing is make sure that you have energy so that you can do what you have to do well..^_^

oh i agree that you should never go grocery shopping when you are hungry. you should eat before you go and make and take a list of only food that you need. i also always try to meal plan at least a week ahead and only shop once for what i need.

That always seems to happen to me! I try to eat before I go shopping but that doesn't always happen, if I don't feel hungry before I go, I just don't eat but when I see all kinds of goodies, I sometimes can't help myself!!

Yes, never go hungry or else you will end up eating everything that your eyes can see (lols) I always ask my kids to have some foods before we go out for grocery or shopping- because if they don't- we end up going to their fave eating place before doing our main purpose.

All the time. I always go decided to buy something in particular... but no... I'm hungry and of course I end up buying chips, or dips or whatever I see , I'd love to eat !

The same thing happened with me when i went to the grocery shop for the first time.Everything was confusing. Later i learn't it well.Now i do the grocery shopping even if my mom is not with me.

That's a long term lesson which I inherited from my mom. Though I can't avoid that at times when I need to buy the food stuff even I'm hungry. The result would be that I a lot of the food stuff compared to the nonfood supplies. That's is so costly that's why my wife and I do our best to eat at home before going to the grocery. Thanks

You are right there... you end up buying all the wrong things. And spending way to much money.

I tried to eat before going to the supermarket but actually when you go there with your stomach full, the food doesn't really look appetizing and I refuse to buy even the ones on my list. I think it's still good to eat first before shopping in order not to buy a lot of food.

Yes it happens to me all of the time. I was going to go shopping today, and ate a bowl of cereal because I didn't want to go hungry. It turns out I might have to wait until tomorrow, but I will make sure I eat first.

This is definitely true and I can attest to it! You tend to grab everything in sight and then afterwards, you'll realize that you can never consume all those food that you have bought. Such a waste of money and would surely leave you bloated.

Amen, sister! You know what's worse is when you go to wholesale stores like Sam's or BJ's. In every aisle they have samples cooking of food and you splurge on those samples. Never, ever ever go to a grocery store hungry!

You almost bought a whole grocery store (haha) I have experienced that but in bread shop, I bought as many bread as I can and my boyfriend scold me. So now, he don't trust me with the grocery list.
