There are times though, when I am feeling rich that I induldge myself and my family by blowing my budget and buying stuff on impulse. I never regret doing that though, because I know me & my family deserve the treat. Oh, and it's good to know I'm not the only one who leaves my cart in a low-traffic zone. I never leave it THAT far though lol I *try* to stay within my budget.

But if I need something and have forgotten an item, my husband has no problem stopping at a grocery store to get them for me. He's around when I'm doing our bi-weekly grocery shopping but I do it all by mself coz if it was up to him, our budget will be over about $30 or more..LOL I mostly do our grocery shopping.

Lagi na lang nya sinasabi "shop" meaning magpunta kami ng shop. Thankfully he's not disruptive. Unfortunately we're not very religious with the budget. Most of the time we overspend by £20-£50. It hurts. But I hope that will soon change when my son's totally nappy-free :-) I love grocery shopping, so does my 3-year old. Lagi na lang nya sinasabi “shop” meaning magpunta kami ng shop.

I hate it when I get the defective shoppinc cart. I TRY to stick to our budget hehehe, my friend told me to avoid using the credit card, otherwise I'd end up buying unnecessary things. True enough, when I buy in cash, I only buy what's in the list. When I lived alone 2 years ago, I spent 2,000 every 2 weeks on my groceries, pano naman kasi, may ice cream, cake, soft drinks, juices in tetra packs, junk foods, chocolates....tapos I spend 300 for market and that lasts for 2 weeks! At least I enjoyed my solo life before. Now I'm always on a budget, baby has the biggest part on the family budget! Hehehe... I do grocery shopping most of the time.
