Question about a weird thing that happened at the grocery store

I was at the Kroger on 5th Street, just grabbing a few things. The cashier scanned my items and the total was $78. I looked at my cart and realized half of it was just snacks I didn't need. I put all the snacks back right there at the register. My new total was $41. Now I make a strict list and don't even go down the snack aisles. Anyone else have a moment that broke a bad spending habit?

That exact thing happened to me at Target last month. I had a cart full of home decor knick-knacks that added up to over a hundred bucks. Putting it all back on that little counter felt silly but it was a real wake-up call. Now I notice it everywhere, like how my online cart fills up with stuff I just leave there for a week. That moment of seeing the total makes you question what you actually need versus what just caught your eye.

My cart's just a wish list I never buy.
