Do you buy what you need or roam the store?

I went to grab some veggies, and ended up spending $46. I got a couple tins of soup on sale for 0.77cents, cases of pop,cream of wheat and a few tv dinners. I am horrible for just going to roam then buying more than I need. I am planning on not going shopping again until next week or until I can push the food I have.

I take a list with me and pretty much stick with what is on that list unless I remember something I had forgotten we needed. I don't randomly walk the aisles and buy stuff.

I usually have a list with me so I get what is on that and then get out.

Sometimes I will look around and see if there is anything which might catch my eye

Today, my boyfriend and I went in for some items and decided since we had extra time to kill ~ browse around and ended up with unnecessary items! (Mainly junkfood candy/gums!)

I find that ismy problems as well. I will roam around and then grab things I don't need.

That is a good idea and a way to stay on budget.

@Missmwngi My issue is I rarely carry cash with me, and using credit card.
