Shop Alone Whenever You Can
Just like the idea of never shopping while hungry, avoiding shopping with your entire family is also a wise idea. When you run out with other people to shop for food to throw a party, for instance, think about how much you’ll have left over by the night’s end.
Also, shopping with kids or grandkids can turn into an ice cream-drizzled, candy-coated disaster. We already know that all grocery stores strategically shelve sugary sweets at a kid’s eye level.
And in the chaos of it all, you might not even remember what was on your original list, to begin with, by the time you get home. So shopping alone whenever possible can help you stay on top of your grocery budget, and you’ll focus on the food you truly need.
This means you spend less money AND less time in the store…a win-win all around!
