I often go to the super market.When i walking in the super market,I'll find I have lots of things want to buy,specially foods.Although i have some at home.However,i just can not control myself,at last,I have throw something in my house,because there are too many foods in my house and some of them has turned bad,,,Mmmm...what a pity... Do you often go to the super market,what kinds of things you usually buy?Do tell me.

I go to the super market every week.Before to the super market I make a list what I need,but in fact I ofen buy more than what I have planned.When I meet the things sale at a discount, I can't bear,so I ofen buy many things that I don't need.My god! I ofen tell myself not to buy,but I when I go to the market I have forgotten.oooo……

Yes, i share exactly the same situation with you. When i go to super market, i usually buy too many things, and some of them are not necessary.

I go to the supermarket once a week and do our food shopping for the week. I make sure I write a list of what I need because if I do not I will just buy anything and everything that I fancy the look of, and my shopping bill would be huge. I only buy what we need, and I stick to a budget as well.

I do one big grocery shopping at the beginning of the month when my ss check comes in then when I need things through the month I go to a little store across the street from my apartment that has some good prices. I try to be very frugal when I shop.

I have my schedule =) I don't make an unplanned trip to the supermarket if I really don't have something urgent to buy. Well, when I go, I buy, toiletries and foods. That's it.

Sometimes. If go there, I will come with my family. I enjoy buying some fresh food with them. Every time, we spend around 200RMB on goods at super market. It is very convenient for us.

Nowadays I don't go to the super market so often. First, I don't have so many spare time. Second, it's always so crowded there and I feel it's so wasting the time. If I have to go to the supermarket, be sure I will go there in the early morning in weekends.

i know that feeling. but sometimes, i really have to control myself, for i have to stick to my budget, if not i'll end up borrowing money before the next payday. it's nice to stock some food at home. just in case i ran out of money to but food in the market, at least there's some at home that i can eat till next payday. but throwing away food is a waste of money. so i just limit myself to what is necessary though sometimes it's not. i just put some limit so i won't be throwing away food.

Shopping - is something that I hate to do!
As little as possible because I HATE to shop! LOL My husband goes to the supermarket for me most times and gets what ever it is that we need. I'll go if I have to but I don't like to.

It denpends on how much free time i could have. If I can have more than three days in a week free from work, I will go to supermarket everyday to find something to eat. But now, I only have a day in a week to relax myself, so I now only go to the super for something badly needed. I think supermarket is a very good place for me to find something cheap, and kill time. But visiting it will cost a lot of time and energy.

When i need to buy something, i go to a supermarket.there is a supermarket nearby,so it's kind of convinient.But when i'm in a bad mood,I like to go to the supermarket and buy a lot of eating things ,like chocolates ,and this would make me feel better.:) Shopping really can improve your mood.

I know how you feel. I can easily over spend at the supermarket so I do try to go when I have eaten, I definitely make a list which I try to keep to but so many times I come back with something new! I think shopping is fun and as long as I am enjoying myself then 'what the heck' as they say. My B/F is always telling me not to buy so much but somehow we get through it. I absolutely HATE throwing things away but it does happen. Especially if something is in the fridge and I have forgotten it (oooops!) We have to rely on our neighbour to take us to the BIG supermarket (about 1 or 2 hrs away) once or twice a week. That's when we do the big shop (tins, bottles, bug spray etc.) and then I go to a local store for the bits and pieces during the week.

My situation is worse...The super market is near my house...If it is far away,i think i can reduce the times of going shopping.Whenever i have nothing to do,super market is a good place for me! Mmm...I think i must kick the bad habit,,Thrift is virtue...

I go a couple of times a week. I am on a strict diet and budget, so I go when they are discounting the days meat and have free coffee. I live close enough to the store that when it is nice I make walking there part of my daily exercise.

I have a little market within walking distance that I go to sometimes for this and that. For most of my groceries and hard to find items I go to the wal-mart supercenter. It's not as close as I'd like but it is very conveinient to have everything in one place.
