The more times you go to the store the more impulse shite you buy.

If you're smart about it, then this may not always be the case. Our method of madness is to go big-boy grocery shopping twice a month which costs us about 450. Then we do maintenance shopping where we go get small ingredients for food. When we do our maintenance shopping, instead of grabbing a normal cart, we grab a handheld basket so we're limited to how much crap we get.
