A thread for: not buying random crap when grocery shopping

[ChocolateCoins19]

Thought one of these may work for those who already don't buy coffee etc out. But their downfall is supermarket add ons.

I'm awful. I mean really bad. I can pop in the store regularly, always running out of something and can easily add on anything from £3-10 on crap.. Cakes. Treats etc.

I know I need to be more organised in what we'll run out of.. But more so not be weak. In the add ons.

Today I popped into express to get bread.. I did add nature valley bars but they're for my labour bag as we're half Price. I then picked up mince as forgot to defrost some. But then put it back and juggled tonight's tea and swapped for tomorrow night..

Who's in?

Me too. I'm trying to lose weight so the normal shop will be really good and healthy but then if I've missed something I will tend to buy naughty stuff. Weekends are terrible for me too. During the week I'm great at meal planning and organising food. It's DH responsibility at the weekend so will tend to get take away or pop to the shops to buy tea for that evening.

Need to start organising all week and sticking to it

Oh God. This is definitely for me! I used to be brilliant at sticking to a budget. Perhaps I had no choice when I was really skint and DD was very young. It's really not helping since I took a post up recently at Sainsbury's and the temptation is even worse.

I'm going to try and stick to lists.
And take the right amount of cash with me maybe. So much easier to add stuff when you're paying by card.
