Is anybody out there going to a supermarket today? It's 10am so they'll all just be opening. Is the siren call from Tesco seducing you as you enjoy your Sunday brunch? Can you feel the lure as Sainsbury's beckons a saucy finger?
Not me.
I'm discovering that one of the best things of this challenge is that my shopping hours are now limited. I thought I might find this limiting (and indeed for many of those who have commented on this resolution the restricted shopping times has been the part that has caused most angst on my behalf), but actually it turns out it's just the opposite - it's actually quite liberating.
Our store cupboard is full and we've got all we need thanks to my little lunch break jaunts. But despite this, without the resolution I would have probably found myself in Tesco today, just to pick up a carton of this or a packet of that. Isn't it amazing how you can always convince yourself that you want or need something?
The reality is that we don't actually NEED anything - we've got plenty of food in the house to see us through to tomorrow and beyond.
The kind of shops I now frequent do not open on Sundays so the option is simply not there, effectively eliminating that nagging pull that perhaps I ought to be buying something. So I'm off to enjoy my Sunday now thank you very much.... happy shopping everyone....
