Do you plan before you go grocery shopping?!
- plan one or two items, and buy a lot more when you get to the store?
- plan no grocery items, and buy whatever looks good when you get to the store?
- plan every item, and buy only what's on the list, NO exceptions!?
- have a menu of what you think you might make for the week, and buy about what's on the list.. give or take a couple items?

Yes, usually. I bring a list the essentials, then decide on a menu for the week (what I want to eat or feed my family) then modify the menu and the list depending on what's available or on sale. Keep a running tally of the cost and splurge on a few items if I have any cash left over (or just charge everything if I'm feeling lazy--- Hehehe). Nice question. Doing a survey of shopping habits?
plan everything i need then decide what brand or range when i get to the store
I always plan but cheat a little. I got White Castle in the frozen area today!!!!!! YUMMY
The last one
Plan on eating a "full meal" before shopping. <}:-})
I would plan what to cook for let say 3 or 4 days meal, and buy those on my list, and of course i might grab something else depend on what attract my palate.
I check the flyers to see what is on sale.If something that I can use & is @ a good price (specially those dollar days)I will make a note of it.I also check what is needed in the home (pantry, freezer,ect.) & make a note of it.When I get there if there is something that is something new & I want to try then I grab it but for the most part I keep to the list.
I never go on when I am hungry because then everything looks good.I check the expiry date too.
I rarely shop at the high end places but during the spring & summer months i do like to go to our local vendors for my fruits & vegtables.
if im trying to make it quick, i only plan on maybe 2 items. but if i find i have alot of free time, i usually get about a half cart full
I dont plan a thing, and just buy what looks good..
I try, but then I end up going to the store about every other day. the checkout people tell me I am there more than they are, and they work there.
