A very small but important frugal tip. Most of you probably knew about this, but I realized it today.
Always, go for any kind of grocery shopping after lunch or dinner. Or if that time does not suit you, eat your fill from home (fruits, whatever) before leaving. DO NOT GO OUT EMPTY STOMACH.
Your mind tends to spend less on unnecessary food items/snacks when your tummy is full. Another advantage is that if you have diabetes then shopping/walking around tends to lower down your sugar spike, so double advantage.
This tip can potentially be extended to other kinds of trips as well.
Wanna watch a movie? Watch it after lunch/dinner. Your mind will be less tempted to buy expensive concessions at the multiplex.
Going for a leisure shopping? Have a heavy lunch/dinner.
This is a small habit, but this will save you a lot of money on unnecessary food items. #finance
