The 24-hour grocery rule that stopped my impulse buys

I kept blowing my food budget on stuff I didnt need. Every trip to the Kroger on 5th Ave ended with chips and crap. Last month I tried something dumb. I wrote my list, then left it in my car for a day. Went back 24 hours later and bought only what was still on it. Cut my weekly spend from $85 to $52. Turns out half that list was just cravings, not needs. Anyone else use a waiting period before they shop?

Wait, you left a grocery list in your car for 24 hours and actually went back? That's some serious commitment. I'd probably just order takeout out of spite by then.
