Finally tried the 'buy once a week' plan versus daily stops

I was grabbing a few things each day after work, but it added up fast. Switched to a single trip with a list and spent about $30 less this week. Anyone else find a simple change like that helps?

Oh, absolutely. I did the same thing last month. Planning one big trip with a list stopped me from buying random snacks and extras every time I walked in. It's surprising how much those little impulse buys add up by Friday.

Ever notice how that same impulse buy pattern shows up with online shopping too?

My Amazon cart was full of random stuff like a phone stand I never used. Started using the save for later list and it cut my spending in half. What's your best trick for avoiding those checkout suggestions?
