I went to Walmart for Blistex as I left it at the petsitting house. I went to grab those , got 2 as they were on sale. I grabbed treats for the brats, and some treats for work. I always do that go for 1 thing and get more. I try to prevent this or wait to get accumulate a list before going.

Well, considering the fact that I'm pretty much broke, I have a hard time going for one thing and leaving for more because I cannot afford more. This is very helpful in preventing me from a true splurge, and lately I've been implementing the list because lists are very convenient and easy when trying to stay on track. I like to be organized and productive when I go to the store, so the lists make sure I get strictly what I need and whatever else is left hanging on the shelf.

Yes, if you dont have the money its rather hard. I do have extra money even after all my bills, and in savings. Sometimes its nice to treat yourself and I enjoy treating the brats to a trea and toy. I try when grocery shopping to make a list, or I buy this or that.

I often go in for one or two things that I really need, then come out with a shopping cart full. What's worse is when I do that and forget to get the things I went in for!

yes it is very easy to do. But you save more money when go for all you need at one time. It is the little odds and ends we don't think about that cost us the most money.

we always do that when we go to Walmart which is why we don't go too often. it can really get expensive if you don't go to the store with a clear idea of what you need which is why i always try to shop with a list.
