You can see from this list what my problem is...impulse buys.  My grocery list is always short, but then I have on there "snacks".  We pack all lunches, so I need things to pack, but never decide until I'm at the grocery store.  This is something I'm going to work on.  Everything was a great deal...but it would be a better deal if I didn't pay anything for it!  This is something I always try to keep in mind and it did keep me from buying even more stuff!
