How to spend less....

I dread having to go to the hypermarkets during the weekends coz of the crowd. On Sat, at about 4 p.m., it got very gloomy & I figured most folks would be rushing / staying home to avoid the rains. I`m ok with the rain. Like it in fact. So I drove out to the local Giant outlet to get a large size cup of yoghurt & some washing machine liquid. Guess what ? I ended up spending a ridiculous amount there. Aiya. I love eating & when I saw some penne pasta, I decided to buy it to make some penne tuna. That led to some other purchases etc etc. E. Anyways, I came back poorer but with lotsa goodies. What is it about hypermarkets that make you wanna buy buy buy ? Next time I`m gonna stick to my grocery list. Yeah rite.....
