Shopping

Eat Before Shopping

I will resist impulse buys by eating a snack or meal before going grocery shopping. Those who grocery shop on an empty stomach spend 64% more than not-hungry shoppers.

    Shopping
    What are some of the things you typically buy that you weren't on your list? How do you think you might limit some of those purchases?

    I'm notorious for impulse-buying snacks. If I have a snack before I go shopping I may find the snack aisle less tempting. Using a list keeps me on task (and usually out of the snack food aisle).

    Grab a non-sugary snack like a banana or cheese, or a beverage like milk or a smoothie before heading out to shop.
