Why you should always write a shopping list!

A bit of retail therapy is good for you. Window shopping costs nothing and if you know what you're planning on getting, a list will definitely both come in handy and reduce the likelihood of impulse buying!

I didn't write a list!

The theoretical list would have contained the following:

Eggs.

A dress for Fox for next weeks club weekend.

A bottle of wine.

Lottery ticket.

The bags I just lugged out of the car contained:

Assorted food shopping (including two bottles of wine, no eggs, and some chocolate donuts!)

Three dresses.

Aftershave (came with a free bag that's the perfect size to act as a new 'toy bag' for travels, is black fake leather and hey - the stuff smells nice!)

Two pairs of shoes for Fox Cub (that are too big and won't fit til next year!)

A bra.

A Gromit figurine, Gromit tea towels and a Gromit book.

A titanium ring (and a diamond one on order - NOT of the engagement variety!)

Nail varnish.

Cigarettes.

And I still forgot the fecking lottery ticket!

Men.

We're absolutely fucking useless at shopping!

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

It sounds like you're good at shopping and bad at curbing your impulses.

I got the birthday presents I went out to buy that were available but I need to go out again to find the missing item.

If you go out tomorrow could you pick up a dress for me to wear on Friday? Thanks.

But drinking Pimms in a new bed would be good.

Over the rainbow, under the bridge

I have a strict rule. I ask myself do I want it or do I need it? If it's not a need it goes back on the shelf.

And never shop when hungry as you are easily influenced by the wrong stuff too.

Is this the same 'not an engagement type's thing as the 'not a couple thing's was?!??

I am coming to the conclusion that impulse buying is a good thing as everytime I wait to buy something the shop stops selling it by the time i decide to get it

totally the opposite here - as we run out/low it goes on the list (kids do this too or go without) and very rarely stray from it
