Always make a shopping list
Shopping with a list disciplines you to only buy the stuff you set out to buy.
Be aware that you’re getting seduced into spending more than you’d planned every time you go into a mid or upmarket supermarket.
Cunningly positioned carousels of coffee cake; two-for-one deals on cases of Stella; the smell of fresh bread wafting from the bakery section – and before you know it you’re out in the car park with a load of cakes, bread and beer that weren’t on your shopping list.
