That store has them all the time I've just never given them a look, until now. No, I didn't get any this time due to the price. I overextended in there this morning... Easy to do in there!

I don't have shopping list, I’m resisting making a list. I just buy what I find are decent prices and fresh.That's some shopping list .... When I shop, if I need a list I need to much
Wow. Apples 49c a lb and fennel 49c each, dill mint 20c!! Amazing!
Where are you shopping?!! All at least 4 times that this way!

we always make a list because that way we spend less.

I make a list for non pershables.
Doesn't make sense to do so for fruit, veg and meat as you just got to see whats available and at what price
(That's for my situation with out of season produce being crazy expensive)

I don’t buy on impulse anymore, I just study the weekly ad and buy what’s on sale.
Like I said before this is how control my inflation rate. I just totaled my budget for last year and this year, we already spent less than 15-20% from last year. We do the same thing every year, so I must not be spending more.

Plus they have to look good, why throw money away if they don’t.

No budget here since I’m the wife, it’s just why throw money away if you don’t have to.I have a pretty strict budget as well - whatever my wife decides to spend
