5 Reasons NOT To Go To The Grocery Store Hungry

So I’m a little late on this post. This was supposed to be posted this morning. I woke up BEFORE the butt crack of dawn and was actually on the clock when Day 2’s challenge on the SITS Girls forum was posted. It’s all good though…better late than never.

Moving right along…

I did one of my favorite things yesterday. I went grocery shopping. I’m one of those weirdos that actually enjoys filling up the cart with wholesome goodness. Grocery shopping is soothing in a way…except when I’m hungry. It’s…freaking…torture. Ugh!

So here we are. The top 5 reasons one should NOT go to the grocery store hungry.

  1. Drooling over the many pounds of pre-cut meat at the butcher’s counter is not a good look.
  2. Oreos, Chewy Chips Ahoy, and other sweets magically appear in the cart.
  3. The list one went in with is drastically different than the receipt one walks out with.
  4. The constant grumbling of one’s stomach puts Chipotle on the brain.
  5. Chips & Dip sound like a wonderful dinner alternative.

I will give myself credit. I decided against the Oreos and went for Nature’s Promise Chocolate Chip Cookies. Still in the sweets category but hey, they’re organic. See? I AM making healthier choices. 🙂

Do any of you have any of your own reasons why you should not go to the grocery store hungry? If so, please share them here.
