Today we called in at Aldi. I wanted some of their diet cola and some jelly. A lot more ended up in the trolley, of couse, but that is to be expected. It wasn't that much more and could have been a lot worse. Then we went to a Farm Shop. We had a little look around, picked up a few bits, but I had to be realistic. I am useless with my freezer. Things go in there and are never used. It doesn't help that I do not entirely trust my freezer. Bear and DH had lovely, proper sausages for dinner and we are having bacon chops tomorrow night.
I have to reluctantly accept that I cannot be trusted in an actual, real shop. My impulse control is very poor. We have decided we need to call in on Aldi on a regular basis, but I will need to be very careful.
Regardless, tomorrow I will be making jelly with fruit in, as bear saw it and thought it an excellent idea. It will make a nice change.
Grocery stores are laid out in a manner that is designed to tempt the shopper to spend more money. So don't feel too bad about impulse shopping.
