The biggest offender in my life was my ex-husband. He was very sick a couple years ago so I took him grocery shopping to help out. We made a list but as we were winding out way through the market, he was tossing things in the cart left and right that had nothing to do with the list. THEN when we got to the check out, he kept looking at me, at the candy bars, and at me. I thought, dude, it’s YOUR money and YOUR health, have at it! lol Ah yes once a kid, always a kid, eh?
Absolutely! I have to admit, I go into the supermarket for one thing and come out with several items I don’t actually need! It serves me right for not making a list and for listening to my two teenage daughters (who I no longer take with me) 😉
Love it! I can really relate to this having had 5 little ones of my own.

Thanks. I was just asked by my sister if I needed anything from the store and I found myself whining for junk… Guess it really never goes away, huh?
