I've tried to limit my trips there because the cart becomes a magnet and I easily spend $100 before I know what I'm doing. The local store I go to usually has good deals and I follow their sales circulars, buy what's in season.
I haven't gone to a club store for a long time because 1) closest store is an hour away and 2) my cart was always a magnet there too. I can be a terrible impulse shopper.

Do you follow a menu with the dcks? I have found that rotating my menu and having an exact plan of what we are having helps me when I shop. I only buy the things on the list for that week. I shop on Thursday nights for the following week.
