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

B Natural answer

I normally plan my meals first and make a list before I leave home. That keeps me focused and stops me from buying too much. But I’m not strict all the time. If I find fruit or bread at a good price, I’ll add it to my basket. I think that balance works well for me.
