[quote=Anonymous]Limit how often you go into stores and limit the stores you go to. Let yourself run out of things and make do with what you have. Know what’s cheapest at each store and what’s more expensive but you end up buying anyway since you’re there. There’s no point buying eggs at Costco to save $1 a dozen, if you’re spending $1-2 more per loaf of bread than you would at ALDI or Lidl.

I go to Costco and Wegmans once every two weeks, and fill in from Lidl for bread, milk and produce. I buy what’s cheapest at each store and, unless it’s something like baby formula, I make do if I run out of something too early. It encourages and rewards better planning.

Know your weaknesses and avoid them. Costco’s clothing section, or the Home Decor section at Target, or Walmart’s  stationery aisle- if you go there while you’re doing your ordinary grocery shopping, you will find a deal. That’s because there’s always deals.  My rule for myself is if I see something I have to have, I can’t buy it at that shopping trip. Non-grocery stuff, non-household needs stuff gets bought in a separate trip. Usually once I’m home, the urge has flamed out.[/quote]
