Don't go Grocery shopping when you hungry?

I have always believed in that saying because for me its true. If I am hungry, I will look at more things and buy them just because they look good. If I am full, I tend to just get the things we need.

I know something about it, because I remember beiong tirsty and doing shopping....I end up with tons of water and juice...great supply for whole month....

Oh, how how true this is. I spend alot more money on things I really don't need when I am hungry. That is why I either eat at home before or hit a fast food place before shopping. One other hint, don't take hubby with you. He tends to put non-needed things in the cart. And you spend more also.

This is so true. When I am hungry I tend to buy a lot of groceries even things that I don't need. I spend more money. So I decided to not do grocery shopping when I am hungry but sometimes I can't avoid it. When I don't feel good too I tend to buy stuff such as clothes and shoes that I don't need. I guess it helps me feel better. I read in a magazine a long time ago that many people do that to feel better. It was good to know that I was not the only one lol

I seem to buy less if I go shopping when I am hungry. If I go shopping for groceries when I am hungry then I normally just buy the foods that I am craving for. Which will cause me to have to go shopping more. I have always been told that if you go shopping while you are hungry that you will buy everything in the store but I don't think that is true.

Hmmnn, let me think.. i really like to shoppe espicially when it comes to grocery /food section.. i agree if you are hungry you gonna get any thing that you want thats apetite you,but we can change that.. we should always thinks of our needs not want ,, and of course it a matter of social dicipline...thnaks

This is so true, It happends to me all the time. I end up buying junk or fast made foods instead of the long-lasting foods and end up having to go back and buy more in the long run. And when your hungary it is hard to focus on your shopping and what you need. It is also good to keep a list of the necessities and only buy whats on it except for a little extra something now and then or if you see stuff on sale. But then again I have been to a store while completely full and didn't feel like shopping and only get half what I need. I think the best time to shop is after 12 but before 6 that is what i think anyhow.

I don't know if I will actually buy up everything in the store..I do know though, that if I go when I am hungry..more then likely that is all I will buy; that which I intend to eat and not what I necessarily need;)+

Oh, it's true for sure. When I am hungry, I will pick up all kinds of things that are not on my list. It always happens. So, I try to go when I am not hungry. Otherwise, the $$$ is double on check out.(:

We go with a list and stick to it, extras are also planned. We do like to eat first but don't always get to. Being a consious shopper has its rewards. Good luck the next time you go shopping.

That is very true. I alsways have my grocery shopping planned for after I have eaten.

I know this to be true from experience. You will overspend by purchasing items you don't have to have. It's best to go grocery shopping after you've had a meal because you'll shop more wisely and walk off some pounds also.
