Tip 75: Don't go grocery shopping hungry
This is a hard tip for me to follow, since I am usually hungry. Pretty much the only time I could go shopping when not hungry is on Thanksgiving!
When you shop hungry, you are more likely to pick up junk food and expensive items. Your will power and ability to make good decisions is impaired when you are hungry. Your reptile brain will take over, and you may end up with cream horns and barbeque potato chips in your cart instead of the healthy items you really want to get.
Even a snack or small meal before shopping can help you avoid trouble at the grocery store. If you want something quick and cheap, a banana can provide a lot of nutrition and make you feel full for about 25 cents.
