Don’t Do The Shopping On An Empty Stomach

Before you hit the aisles make sure that you have even just a small fatty meal so that you don’t become some erratic, starved, shopping demon, as you are likely to cave in most when you are hungry.

Shopping satiated will have you making sensible decisions and keep you on track.

Better still shop online and plan your week rather than shopping in the moment.
