During my breaks and lunch, I would wander in and out of stores. I would constantly buy coffee, snacks and my lunch at the mall cause it was so convenient. Now that I work at a place where there are no restaurants nearby with the exception of a Tim Horton’s/Wendy’s, its become a habit to bring lunch. I’m not a big fan of my workplace cafeteria either.

Even when I worked across from a not-very-great mall, I would go wild at the grocery store just because it was there.

So, like you, proximity is definitely a trigger of mine!

Sales are the very worst. I know what you mean. But sometimes it’s a better deal, andt hen you just end up spending more money!

I HATE going to the grocery store. It’s the worst. I know what you mean – a growling stomach is super expensive 🙂

Lunch is the worst! It’s so expensive too!

I used to work downtown and I would eat out at least once a week, usually twice a week. My current job is at least a 5 minute drive from any restaurant so I really have to make an effort if I want lunch. I grab lunch maybe once every 2-2.5 weeks now–it’s been great for my wallet!

Also my laziness to get to the grocery store. Because once I don’t do that I get hungry and I’ll eat anything within a mile radius – unluckily for me there are tons of food places around my work. I know the feeling =/

I always try my best to eat my brought lunch but my coworkers always eat out and when they invite me it’s hard to say no.

If I’m around spenders, I spend. If I’m around savers, I save. It’s one of the reasons I like interacting with the pf community 🙂

Another is if I go to the food court of a mall. I get lured in all the time. I really need to not go to that part of the mall.
