Follow Your List!

There are many rules to follow when grocery shopping. Don’t look at the brand named products at eye level as they are the most expensive. Don’t shop when you are hungry. And don’t go to the store without a list!
I am a circular freak. I wait until Thursdays when the bag of weekly circulars is delivered because then I make my list. It doesn’t necessarily look like a written or typed list…sometimes I only have time to circle or check off the items from the circular that interest me. The thing is, I never enter a store without knowing what I am buying there. I may throw a few really good priced items in my cart, but I always leave with everything on my list, or a raincheck for items not available. I buy only what I need and what can fit in the fridge or freezer. That way, I have virtually no waste. None.
