      If I were hungry I would stop for lunch first. Not because it would cause me to stray from my list, but because hunger turns to hanger real fast for me. I'm irritated by people in the grocery under the best of circumstances, so being there while hangry is not a good idea for me. :)

      It doesn't matter if I've eaten or not before I go to the grocery store. If I see something that looks good or is on sale that I normally buy or want to try, I'll buy it.

      I keep small shelf-stable single-serve protein-y snacks in my car just for occasions like this (protein is satiating for me). ;) Snack, then shop!

      I do real strict meal planning for my weekly eating so if I'm starving my kids will be happier because it just means I will buy some extra school treats.

      I use an app for $5 a month that I upload recipes to and create my meal plans, and it creates a grocery list for me. It's called Plan To Eat and it's awesome. I go in there and get what I need, nothing more. I don't go when I'm hungry. Also, when I take my boyfriend he tends to want more fun foods, so it's best if I go alone, although I am changing his ways a little lol :)

      Single-serve packets of dry-roasted soybeans; crispy chickpeas; crispy broad beans; 100-cal packs of nuts (yes, lots of fats in there, and a small amount of protein), some seed mixes (ditto). Those hold up pretty well in variable weather for a while. There are other things that will last a shorter time, like the all-cheese crisps or shelf-stable hummus. Jerky and comparable things might work for meat-eaters (I'm vegetarian).

      I have a totally different experience if I shop alone vs. with my significant other!!
