When you go to the grocery store hungry.... What impulse-junk food item is most likely to end in your cart? Today for me, it was ...taquitos and tater tots. Thank goodness this is a rare occurrence. Usually I avoid the "junk food/comfort food". No willpower today. Hadn't had these in forever, and they are so good.  |

My husband grocery shops. I go maybe once a month to pick up something for a special meal and have a hard time avoiding the desserts made in the store.

It’s always cakes.  I stood and agonised over a couple of Sicilian Lemon Curd Muffins in Tesco's in-store bakery today. I went so far as to google the calorific content (420 calories in each!) and that was enough to make me put them back. But I wanted one so much! And now it’s 1.30am, I’m lying in bed with my stomach loudly rumbling, and wishing I had something yummy to scoff.  |

When I’m really hungry, it’s usually something I can eat right away, without cooking. Pre made veg sushi is what I typically get. Then I eat a couple pieces as soon as I’m back at my car.

I've come home with fresh fried chicken from the deli before.
Go shopping right before a period starts and I come home with a bag of Reese's peanut butter cups and a new bottle of wine. Sometimes my favorite chips and dip are included. Other times, those mini powdered donuts by Little Debbie or any other Little Debbie snacks make their way into my bags. I'm sure the cashier has a very good idea where I'm at in my cycle when she sees the box of tampons next to the peanut butter cups.

Cucumbers. Mushrooms (I bought 10 containers today!!!)
Eggs. Avocados. Celery.
I don’t know why I buy tons of these anytime I stop at the store!!
RTA: I clearly didn’t post junk food!! Lol
I did buy a bag on sweet potato chips for me to nosh on the first week of February, that was an indulgence albeit a healthy one!
Mmmm..I do buy cookies for the hubby. Since I’ve been eating differently since January, I don’t buy junk for me.

90% of the time I go to Whole Foods, so if I am hungry I end up buying something from their hot bar. I love their cabbage almond salad, they also have a kale barley salad I love. I also love their clam chowder. All overpriced but delicious. When I used to go to Safeway more, I would get their premade sushi.

I get in big trouble when I go to Publix and I’m hungry, They almost always have a good selection of snack items and frozen foods that are BOGO each week, and I go nuts. Why yes, I would like some Totinos Pizza Rolls, some Pop Tarts, AND some Cheetos Puffs!

The makings for poutine - fries, gravy and squeakers cheese curds or vanilla ice cream and chocolate magic shell. Especially if I go after a long, stressful day at work. I avoid grocery stores when i leave the office at 8 or 9pm.

I try to find a little bag of cashews if I can. But I get chips every once in a while - the Aldi version of doritos, Julio's tortilla chips or occasionally kettle corn.

I buy gummi bears or a small block of chocolate. Maybe if I am passing the bakery I will get something there - at this time of year it will be a donut, but usually an apple or cherry roll.

Maltesers and I eat the whole (large) bag as I'm driving home, which isn't far, maybe a couple of miles from the store. I also can't resist buying a jam filled doughnut which I usually eat while I'm putting the shopping away. If I time it right they are still warm when I buy them |

Cheeto puffs or chex mix if I'm feeling super decadent. Otherwise an adult lunch able from the produce section (with cheese, fruit and veggies or crackers)

Little Debbie Zebra cakes or powdered donuts. I buy the donuts under the pretext that they are for breakfast the next morning...who am I kidding...they never make it to breakfast!!
