I definitely go in with a purpose, and with a paper list that I hold clenched in my claws like it’s the last good thing I will ever hold.

If I don’t do that, I will go in to grab the one thing I need, but will become distracted seeing things I do need, but not as much as the one thing. After amassing an armful of kinda-needed-items, I will check myself out and go home, where I immediately remember I did not grab the one thing I needed.

It’s stressful as all get-out, and made so much worse by increasing costs. My face hurts when I am shopping because I can’t stop grimacing lol
