Dear Diary, $200+ on groceries

Spent over $200 today in walmart, and Aldis is buying a bunch of food just to say I dont have a taste for none of it. #noappetite #groceryhaulfail

and on top of everything, i was so tired afterwards, i didn't want to put them away 😒 I know im not the only one that has done this.

... Read moreWhen grocery shopping, it's essential to have a plan to avoid impulse buys. Many shoppers find themselves in a situation where they buy more than necessary, leading to food waste and buyer's remorse. To maximize your grocery budget, consider planning your meals for the week in advance. This approach helps create a shopping list that caters to your actual needs, reducing the chances of purchasing items you won't use. Another common issue is the lack of appetite after a long day, which can make the effort of putting groceries away feel daunting. This experience is not unique; many shoppers relate to the fatigue that comes from supermarket trips, especially when filled with large hauls. Staying mindful of your energy levels and budgeting time for shopping can enhance the experience. Ultimately, grocery shopping doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With a little preparation and the right mindset, it can transform into an enjoyable task rather than a stressful chore. Remember to gauge your hunger and energy before embarking on a shopping trip to keep your experience efficient and satisfying.

Groceries I got in a calorie deficit
These should last 2-3 weeks with what I still have leftover and maybe picking up a few things and it was a little over $100. I also bought Diet Coke but I forgot to take a picture of it. Also the fall section at Aldi is so good right now #groceryshopping #caloriedeficit #aldi #publix
