2. Eat before you go.
Shopping hungry = impatience and more impulse purchasing. Even if it means sitting in your car and eating a snack before entering the grocery store, do it! When we shop hungry, we not only tend to spend more money, we also gravitate to foods that are ready to eat now instead of ingredients to cook up later. (This makes sense. right? Our bodies are needing to eat now, so we crave foods that are ready to go and don’t need cooked first.) Hungry and listless? That’s big trouble because a hungry brain will have a very tough time coming up with meal ideas on the spot.
