When grocery shopping do is it best to stick to the list or shop sales?

Question

Should never ask questions while half asleep!

Answer 1

I usually buy stuff when they half price it.

Answer 2

Things on the list and things that are on a really good sale that you know you will use later.

Answer 3

My answer is both are best.  Stick to a list.  But if you see a great deal on a product that your family uses a lot, stock up!  Then it's simply not on your list for a long time, and you saved money.  I do this with coupons.  I'll get a bunch of coupons for Heniz ketchup, for example, wait for it to go on sale, then buy 10 bottles.  I'm stocked up for a year and paid sometimes just pennies.  Weird, but it saves a ton of money.

Answer 4

You'll be better off sticking with the list rather than buying something that's on sale but you'll never use.

Answer 5

Go through the list and then hit the sale racks!!

Answer 6

I look at the sales ad while making my list. Then I can figure the best prices.

Answer 7

i'll usually get everything on the list and more depending on what i find.
