If you’re like me, you hate going to the grocery store, but once you’re there you’re there for a while.  Usually when I go into the store I don’t write a grocery list because I know the basic things I need.  Lately, I found that writing a grocery list before I head to the store is SUPER helpful not only for my diet but for my pockets.  Without a specific list( ex: bananas and strawberries NOT just: fruit) , I tend to pick up anything and everything and throw it into the basket.  The food ends up going to waste and my money is wasted.  Writing a grocery list and sticking to it definitely helps my budget and my diet!!
