A brief financial tip by Brian Tracy advising shoppers to always use a written grocery shopping list and strictly stick to it to avoid unnecessary spending. The guidance frames list-based shopping as an accountability and discipline strategy that produces satisfaction and cost control.
Here's an accountability tip to help you to achieve your financial goals. Instead of going out to dinner, go to the grocery store, but don't do it empty handed. You should never walk into a grocery store without a shopping list. Make a careful plan of what you'll buy before you go, and then stick strictly to that plan. Discipline yourself so that you don't put anything in the cart that's not on the list. By the time you get home, you'll feel a sense of accomplishment in knowing that you did exactly what you planned to do without spending a dollar more than you wanted to.
