[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tend not to look at individual prices at the grocery store. I buy what I want, then I think the cumulative prices is too high, but I never know what made it that way. It’s not a good way to shop, but I can never remember what something “should” cost, even my frequent purchases, because I don’t buy them separately. I would have been terrible at the price is right.[/quote]

I can’t understand this. You just grab whatever you want and don’t look at the price? [/quote]

My DH never looks at the price of anything. Just buys stuff.[/quote]

NP, I'm kind of like this. I have the list of stuff I need, I buy the list of stuff I need.  We have little kids and a set of staples I'm always getting - milk, eggs, bread, fruit, the specific type of yogurt/cheese sticks/chicken nuggets they will eat.  I pick it up and don't really notice the individual prices (and I don't shop multiple stores because I don't have time).  I do notice at checkout that the whole basket costs more.  I'm not recommending this method, but it's what I do.

I also tend to try to plan some recipes and my shopping list for the week before I go to the store, and I'm generally not going to be throwing the plan out the window at the store because an ingredient is not on sale.  I wish I was that flexible, but I'd probably end up frazzled and forgetting something if I called an audible on the dinner plan.    [/quote]
