And... I also found all those STRIDENT ON SALE SIGNS are very often the culprit for messing up our shopping lists and spending much more than we thought we would...

i go to the store with a somewhat distinct idea of what i want, and buy those items, but also just toss items into my shopping cart. if it looks like something i'd like, i might buy it. i haven't been shopping in awile.

I tend to do the 2nd one, although I try my hardest to make a list of everything I need & stick to it.

I'm #1. I check grocerygame's site, check off what I need, print it out on the computer, add my needs for the next 4-5 days' dinners, clip the appropriate coupons and buy what's on my list. If I ever get anything besides that, it's fresh produce (which doesn't have coupons anyway) that looks really pretty.

I have to say it's a blend between 1 and 2. I usually carry my recipes to do my grocery shopping then add stuff that I know I need and still get stuff not on the list. But a blend of 1 and 2 is closest.

I don't do the grocery shopping.
I make a list of what we will be having for dinner for the week.
I make a list of what we will need to make the dinners, plus other odds and ends that is needed. ( I have cereal every morning and a sammy or left overs for lunch). We usually eat out on the weekends.
Then........Hubby does the shopping.
