[quote=Anonymous]13:26 deciding to be constructive. I used to overspend at the grocery store too - and this was at Giant and Safeway, not WF or TJs. Here is how I kicked the habit. Plan meals. All of them. You don't have to stick to a schedule, but plan 7 breakfasts, 7 lunches, 7 dinners and approximately 10 snacks per week. Write down the ingredients for those things. Purchase those ingredients. If you decide on Monday that you'd rather have spaghetti than tacos, that's fine. Have tacos another night. Make shopping lists and then follow them. So when in the produce section, if you see that your list has apples, celery, broccoli, red peppers and kale on it, don't linger in the tropical fruit section. If you're in the meat department to get a steak, don't also get shrimp. It's not that hard. It sounds to me like she maybe has other issues than just buying expensive food. Do things go bad in your refrigerator too?[/quote]
