Grocery stores are designed to create impulse buying, with flashy displays, sale signs, flags along the aisles and candy and toys in the checkout to grab attention. Bright colors and packaging are designed to catch your attention, while coupons encourage you to purchase. The purpose is to get you to buy excessively, but if you are wise to retail strategy, you can be ready with a strategy of your own.

Instructions
1
Eat before you shop. If you are full when you arrive at the store, you will be less likely to purchase out of hunger or craving. Often, hungry people tend to purchase unhealthy snack foods.
2
Make a shopping list before leaving the house and stick relentlessly to it. Only go down aisles you need and look for specific items on your list.
3
Pick up a basket instead of pushing a cart, if your list is smaller. This prevents you from purchasing more than you can carry.
4
Avoid junk and candy aisles, even the candy checkout lanes. The checkout is the last place customers see in the store and are packed with junk food and grab-and-go items. Most stores have alternative aisles available without the catchy last-minute grabs.
5
Take time to evaluate, if you do find yourself picking up an impulse purchase or sale item. Ascertain why you want the item and whether it is truly a necessity. Examine the nutritional information to decide if it's a healthy choice. It is okay to buy one or two unplanned items as long as you limit yourself.

Don't bring the kids. Because they love junk food, they will want to buy anything and everything they can convince you to buy. You can be more efficient and stick to your list much easier when shopping alone.
