I always write down the exact things that I need and I try not to buy more things than I need, most of the time it it doesnt happen, but sometimes it happens, but not by too many things, how many extra things do you get?

Once I went to the charity shop to look for a cardigan. Next door is an estate agent. I looked in the window and saw a house on a street I have always loved. I booked a viewing for the afternoon and put in an offer the same day. I bought it ! Unexpected item in the bagging area

I never write a shopping list as I know what I want before I go. I'll pick up the odd thing if something takes my fancy though

Yes, like yesterday I bought a punnet of plums because they looked good. I had intended buying apples but they didn't look great so swapped for the better option.

Always good to know a lady who appreciates a nice plum or two….

Sometimes I try to limit myself by not taking a basket. I can only take what I can carry. Right ?

I end up usually being offered one by a polite staff member with that pity look.

The shopping list is more of a guide. It’s got the things you know you need but the not the things you’ve always wanted

I’m terrible. I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve got out shopping with a list and come back with nothing from my actual list but several shopping bags

Just popped to Sainsbury’s for milk and ham. Accidentally bought a five pack of donuts and a Frijj. It’s not the first time.

The supermarkets have spent millions of pounds researching customer behaviour etc. the whole thing is designed to make you spend more than you intend!

Lordy it’s a rarity if I remember the list!

Sometimes I get back to the house and unpack and wonder how the hell I’m going to make a meal from the disparate items I’ve purchased! Xx

How much you buy depends on how hungry you are, very often

I meal plan for the week and put together a list based on that. Stick to it. Unless my 8 year old is with me. Somehow ice creams, choc mouses and doughnuts find there way into my trolly. Thankfully, im not a sweet tooth. N

I prefer to shop when I'm hungry and without a list. That way I can be surprised the next day with the mystery shopping I did.
