This tip comes from my reader Amanda…
I found that if I am going to the grocery store and I get a buggy/cart, I end up buying more than I went in for! So, depending on what I am going in for I either grab a basket or nothing at all and just hand carry it to the register.

I like this! I don’t know how many times I go in for a few things like bread and milk and come out with a CART full of stuff.

Jenna says
I always do this, I figure if I can’t carry it I don’t need it!!
Awesome tips, keep them coming, thanks!!

I do this too! In fact, I had a set amount of money I could spend hte other day, and not a penny more, so I went in and grabbed stuff without a cart or basket and left with only what I needed to buy! It’s a great money saver.

I work in retail and this is so true!! Psychologically carrying a basket or a pushing a cart makes you feel like you need to fill it and you will probably buy a lot more than you really need to because of it. :-)

I do this when I am going to Costco to pick up one thing. That way things do not magically end up in my basket :)
