Grocery stores are designed to entice you to buy items you did not plan on. When home, ever pull something out of the bag you know you do not need and wonder why you bought it?
Never Grocery Shop Hungry
Make sure you eat a BIG meal before grocery shopping. Then food will be the last thing on your mind and make you a savvier foodstuff spender. Strolling down the candy aisle with a low blood sugar can wreck havoc on your decision-making ability. Brain chemicals take over and push you to feed your hunger.
