If I shop when I'm hungry, it's amazing the stuff I actually put in my
basket, before taking it back out and putting it back on the shelf.
Good for you for resisting the impulse buying. :-)

And also, I heard on T.V. that firstly, don't shop on an empty
stomach, and secondly don't take a cart, lol....apparently, if we have
to carry it we'll take less and only what we came for....that's
understandable

I live just three blocks from the grocery store, so I grocery shop the
way I've always heard Europeans do -- a little at a time. Every day or
two, I put the dog on the leash and we walk down and get a few things to
eat that day or the next day. Since I'm walking, I don't want to carry
more than ten pounds, so that helps keep me from buying a lot of extra
junk or stuff that'll end up going bad in the fridge. Generally I walk
in, grab a low-carb vegetable if one is on sale, steer through the snack
area for nuts or a bag of pork rinds, grab a dozen eggs, get some cheese
if it's on sale, and see what's on sale at the butcher counter. Check
my list to see if I need anything special like toiletries, and I'm
usually in and out in ten minutes or less.

It's working pretty well for me. Since I'm not wandering the store with
a cart trying to stock up for a week, I don't seem to be as tempted by
the bad stuff. By the time I even get to the last aisle with the ice
cream, I've already got my hands full, so I breeze right through. It
wouldn't be practical if the store wasn't so close, of course.
