Somehow it ended up being about 20. Why do I do this? I honestly had like 3 or 4 things in mind...and poof..I got out of control. Oh well, I guess they will all be used..eventually. Are you like me, or do you maintain some discipline when you go to the store? I spent so much that tomorrow's plans are going to have to be altered.

I used to make a list, but I don't really do that now. That was pre-pandemic. Now I just go with things in mind, and get what I can. It looks like the shelves are returning to normal though, so I'll be making a list again. However, no matter if I make a list or not, there is always atleast two things that I get that were not on the list.

I wish it was just two things for me. I tend to run amuck a bit.

@snowy22315 I'm worse when it comes to Trader Joe's. I go in there for two specific things but something else always catches my eye, and before I know it I've spent $50!

Maybe it happens with most of the people, most of the time, all around the world.

I guess the stores bank on people not being able to control themselves!

I have a list but I sometimes get excited by some products and want them and buy them.

Yes, they had large boxes of interesting flavored Cheerios for 2.50...I couldn't pass those up.

I'm mostly a bit disciplined - 'bit' being the operative word. However, I always take way more shopping bags than I think I'll need and usually end up using most of them.

I started writing a list out for a few things and now it is well over $100
