We ventured out today to do a bit if shopping. We had to stop by the hardware store and the grocery store for a few items. The grocery store can be dangerous place to go when you are trying to save a few bucks. You have to go into the grocery store with blinders on and a list that you don't stray from. It is so easy to get sucked in by those pop displays or those big sale displays at the end of the aisles. Most of the time they are items that you don't need and are a luxury type "treat" item. Just walk right by them, keep your blinders on and shop for what you need. If you stick to your list then you won't end up spending money you don't have.
We keep a pad of paper and pen on our microwave oven which is in the kitchen. When we run out of something we put it on the list. If it isn't on the list then we don't buy it. When I am looking for those chocolate ice cream bars during the week they aren't there because they weren't on the list.
