And delay the shopping trip as long as possible, because once I head out into a store I tend to buy not only the things that I can't get along 24 more hours without, but all the things that I can get along without as well, to "save myself a trip" later. This strategy has been working pretty well. The deal-breakers? Toilet paper and dog food. :0) You could not be more right when you say, Things feel a lot simpler when you are looking for the good.
