    Everyone missed the big question---- Did you get the three things you needed???? :D

    I go into a shop, buy loads I don't need and never manage to pick up the thing I left the house for!

    Me too - that's why I asked.

    I had a planned quick trip to trader Joe's today for about 10 - 15$ worth and then after picking up my daughter from college she reminded me it's spring break. So, knowing I won't be near tjs for a week and a half instead I spent $50.....I was lured in by the smoked rainbow trout. And lamb vindaloo...and jalapeño chicken sausages...and. ...

    I'm not sure if I got what I needed I got so distracted lol. Told my daughter I might be mad tomorrow when I go to make something.

    Well I have four boys. So buying out the produce section a few times a week works in my favor. The problem is frozen stuff when I have no more room left in the freezer.

    Thats us....4 kids and I cant keep anything stocked it seems. I do a full shop 2 times a week and usually stop in 1 other time. Its simply amazing how much active kids can pack away!

    I'm too ocd to shop without a list. I make a monthly meal plan and I have a word document that is an inventory of what is currently in my deep freezer, fridge/freezer, my garage stockpile, and pantry.

    I shop weekly at 2 grocery stores. One that I coupon at and the other for the rest of what I need. I always go with a list.
