Title: Do you grocery shop while you are hungry?
Post by: melodylogan45 on June 12, 2016, 08:38:30 am
It is not good to shop while we are hungry, I always buy a little bit more than I should, especially goodies, lol. How about you?

There are times when this has happened and yes, I do overdo it as well.

I work in a bakery for the largest national grocery store.  I can't tell you how many times I hear people say, "I should never shop while I'm hungry." My response is... "I shouldn't work with frosting and cake when I'm hungry."

LOL.. in fact they say you should never do grocery shopping on empty stomach because you end up buying things you don't even really need or simply more stuff.. and just because you are hungry! :))))

 ;D

Even if hungry, I try really hard to stick to my grocery list as much as possible.

However, sometimes (once a month), I treat myself to Culvers on  the way home.

Usually, I do pretty good.  But sometimes...............  :)

I've been guilty of that more than a few times. Most of the time on the way to the grocery store I'm not hungry but then after I've gotten a few things the hunger will kick in. Hard to stay away from the snack aisle after that.

Sometimes, but it's not really a good idea. I wind up seeing everything and wanting it all!

I sometimes start shopping before I get hungry. If I do get hungry while shopping, I go to one of the nearby spots to eat, or I grab something from the deli and eat. We have some pretty nice grab and go deli items here.

I try not to.  I try to make a list and stick to it when I go shopping.

I always try and eat something before I go even if is just a breakfast bar.  Seems to take the edge off the hunger

My craving for chocolate motivates me to go shopping.  Honestly, I feel weird if I have no chocolate in my apartment.   :heart:

I guess I am just hungry regardless.... when I shop I see so many tempting things that even if I am not hungry.. I get hungry then! It is just a matter of self control :D

I also buy too much when shopping while hungry, particularly baked goods like cakes, pies, and cookies. Plus salty items like chips and pretzels. I do buy my usual amount of fruits and veggies, but I really shouldn't even have the other stuff sitting around in the house at all.

Never! If I have to go, I eat something first. That way I am not tempted to buy everything that "looks good".

I don't make a deliberate attempt to not shop whilst I'm hungry, but invariably it does happen now and again. I know if makes a difference regarding what i buy, for instance I'll stop by the in-house bakery and have a look at their doughnuts and freshly baked bread, or I'll go past the deli and have a quick look at their roasted chickens and potato salad, all of which smell absolutely delicious, so I know it makes a huge difference to your grocery bill if you have eaten before going, or not.

yes because it helps me figure out what I really want to eat.

Very seldom do i go grocery shopping  when i am hungry. 1 we are always out of town and i put all of my perashables in the cooler and  then it is time to come home since it is anywhere between 80 miles and 120 miles where i do my major shopping. So we usually try to eat first then the groceries don't have to set  very long. If i am going to run into our rinky dink store i don't worry about it am in and out quickly.  I also try to stick within my list. But do give in when hubby wants something.

Sometimes.  When I do I end up buying more junk than I would buy otherwise.  I do not make a point of eating before I go.

I try not to. They say you spend more when you are hungry.

Post by: quietpal on June 13, 2016, 08:11:01 pm
Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't. It just depends on when I'm able to do my shopping. Regardless, I still stick to my list and wait until I get home to eat. Sticking to a list has helped me not to overspend.

No, I don't grocery shop while I'm hungry. I usually just stop at a restaurant on the way. I hate shopping while I'm hungry.

I get a lot more snacks and everything I want  :glasses-nerdy: more than I would if I shopped full as unhungry.

I try not to shop when I'm hungry .. I wind up with all kinds of stuff that I would not normally buy

Post by: oldbuddy on June 23, 2016, 09:47:49 am
All the time, but we just make the deli counter the first stop and buy a few chicken legs and some JoJo's to eat while we shop, then pay for the empty bags when we checkout.

I do like the idea but it would be too much to over spend on if you prefer to go hungry. Then if you are taking the kids while they are hungry it would be even harder to say no to something they need right at the moment. I would say there was a few times I did that and I ended up going to a restaurant first, by the time I was done. The grocery store was already closing down at night.

Post by: catchow on June 23, 2016, 12:14:17 pm
I try not to. However most the time yes, because the grocery store I shop at is a 30 mile round trip, I always treat myself to fast food afterwards

Post by: sgluckadoo on June 24, 2016, 09:48:47 am
I have and of course it is a mistake to do so... you buy so much stuff and most of it on impulse and junk! So unhealthy. i try to eat at least a fiber bar or something before going.

I have noticed that if I am overly full, i wont buy what i need either! like the sight of food is too much so i end up not getting my shopping done effectively, lol.

Yes, if I shop when I am hungry, I generally purchase more than I intended but if I shop on a full stomach, nothing looks good to me and I don't purchase enough for the next week!

I have heard that it is not good to go grocery shopping when you are hungry too, but I do it. I don't do it on purpose though. Usually I will go to Walmart and browse other items before I shop for groceries and by the time I start grocery shopping, I become hungry lol.
