The List is your Limit

Have you ever been to the grocery store with 4 things on your list, and left with 40 things in your basket, and $200 drafted from your bank account? Well, not today! The task of the day is a dare. I dare you to make the list your limit. Today's task is to limit ourselves to buying only what is on the list. We will not grab random stuff and add to our cart. We will only go to the aisles needed for the items on our list. No browsing. No loitering. In and Out. We won’t add something on a whim to find out we have three just like it at home. We will not grab! We are only going to get the items on our list. (Hint: tomorrow we will be using these items for a meal). "Sure", you say "that’s easy"! Just wait until the sample lady serves you some really great brisket sandwiches. No brisket today. What about all the eye-catching, magnetizing, "I want now" stuff waiting in the checkout line? We will have to pass today.  No Coke, no candy bar, no Nutella, no beef jerky, no People magazine, and no 5 hour energy drink. Today we will prove to ourselves that we have self-control, or should I say store-control. We will have store control! The grocery store does not own our bank account, and the last time I checked, we do not have the grocery store set up on auto-pay. We only pay for what we get, and today we are only going to get what’s on our list. The list is our limit. ;)


Post your receipts when done! I Double Dog Dare you to make the list your limit. ;)

List: 

* If you have these ingredients already, no need to buy more. Make your own list and have store-control using it! Post your list with your receipt. ;)

I dare you to have store-control? I can’t wait to see those receipts!
