Buying gelatin without purpose as of now…

When I pay my groceries at the counter the other day, I spotted some packets of powdered unflavored gelatin at the cashier counter. I grabbed two packets even if I know that nothing is intended for it as of now. The last time I looked for unflavored gelatin at the same store was it's not available so I ended up buying a flavored one at 10 Philippine Peso. I thought that the price of the same size for that brand is the same but when the cashier swiped it, it registered at 26. The price of that particular brand more than doubled compared to the other one. Do you also add groceries to cart without knowing it’s price and then amazed later?

NO, I always check the price first and I stick on my grocery list.

@ZedSmart I do not, I always check at home what I need, if it's not in my list it will go wasted.

I always check the price before going to the cashier because I must see to it that I still have a budget for the things I buy

I no longer check or ask if there were no price tags.

I would also check the price first and then read the ingredients.

@ZedSmart then I would ask. I don't want to be surprised if it's actually expensive. I would be embarrass to put it back later then.

Nope! Only when I do the grocery with my mom or my sister. I always have exact cash with me with the listed items I have and I make sure that I calculated all the items I put in the cart before going to the cashier. I am not rich to just grab anything without looking at the price tag. Hehehehe... but I hope I can do that soon.

Sticking to budget and what is needed is good. In God's perfect timing you can do that.

Very occasionally I'll buy something and be surprised at the cost but not too often.

@ZedSmart That's true. You just have to put it down to experience!

And on that point, we couldn't back out anymore even if our mind resists.

Haha, that happens a lot when you go to the grocery and you see something that is like attracted you to get it, and later you will just be surprised with the price later on since you got it without checking the price. It happens to us too and because we do shopping hastily these days we sometimes forget to really check on prices.

That's not your fault. It's the fault of the store who display a product without a price.
