This tip applies to all ages. Never go grocery shopping when you're hungry. Whether your an adult or child going grocery shopping hungry can be detrimental to your budget. It's a proven fact - when you shop hungry you add more items to your cart than were on your list. Since you're hungry and surrounded by food - it all looks delicious and you end up buying more.
If you happen to be shopping with a child, make sure they aren't hungry either. This will help them from be less cranky and/or whiny. Another trick is to bring along something to keep them busy, so you can focus more of your time on shopping.
As a rule of thumb, make sure you have a meal or at least light snack prior to your trip. At the very least chew a stick of gum or suck on a piece of hard candy.
