When you go food shopping, do you stick to a list or just grab whatever catches your eye?

A natural way to answer

I usually write a short list before I go. It helps me stick to what I actually need and not spend too much. If I don't, I always buy extra things I forget about.

Key phrases to use

• wing it — to do something without a plan or preparation“I forgot my list, so I just had to wing it.”
• stick to — to keep to a plan and not change it“Try to stick to your shopping list.”
• out the window — completely forgotten or ignored“My diet went out the window at the party.”
