How do you keep yourself from purchasing unnecessary items while grocery shopping?

[noorkhurshid]

·        First, make a list of all the items you'll need.
·        Sort them according to priority.
·        Recheck the list and eliminate unwanted items that aren't very helpful.
·        Don't shop for groceries when you're hungry.
·        Limit your spending and pay in cash.
·        Keep an eye out for bulk items and promotions.

Adding to this... try to shop when you're by yourself, not with someone else. With two people, you will stay in the store longer and look at more things, and maybe even take suggestions from the person who is with you, and buy things you didn't plan on buying.
