Did you know that for every minute you spend in a grocery store after the initial 30 minutes, you will spend an average of 50 cents more per minute than you did in that first 30 minutes? Why is this? Unless you are shopping in a huge warehouse type grocery store that you would be unable to traverse in the first 30 minutes in its entirety, you tend to start going up and down aisles you have already been down before, and fall victim to the impulse purchases.

When you go grocery shopping, don’t make it an hour long affair. Instead, set yourself to a 20 or 30 minute time and stick to it. And don’t forget your shopping list
