Shop with a list

I read somewhere that like 60% of our purchases in the supermarket are impulse buys.

If you bring a list of what you need and stick to it, you can make it to the register without overspending.

Good tip, Olivia. It also helps to not go to the store hungry...when I do I fill the cart with what sounds good right then, and when you're hungry everything sounds good!
