Tip #28: Don't go grocery shopping when you're hungry

This tip really doesn't have to apply just to students. My sister gave me this tip when I was headed off to Cornell and it's soooo true.

When you're hungry and grocery shopping you tend to buy way too much, and also will buy the wrong types of foods. This is especially dangerous when you go shopping, hungry during No Frills Dollar Days (bad idea). If it does happen that you buy way too much, most things can be frozen... I'd go so far as to say anything can be frozen (you may just have to alter it in some way to make it freezable - ex. make soup, muffins, stir fry etc.)

This being said, I wouldn't agree with those who say that you have to stick to the list. Although it's good to have a list of things you don't want to forget, I would also suggest buying something new every time you go to the grocery store. It may end up being gross, but that's what roommates are for :)
