The Triple G All-Stars Reveal Their Shopping Habits

"I overpurchase. I am the guy all those 'product placement studies' have been made for. I just keep on grabbing — impulse purchaser I am — but I am an incredible bagger!"

If I'm shopping [while I'm] hungry, I buy too many crackers and chips.

"I don’t really have any bad habits when it comes to grocery shopping, but my wife loves to remind me that I’m not the mayor, because I smile at everyone and usually say hello to everybody there."

"I might have in my day had a bad habit of taking way more than 10 items to the 10 items or less line to speed my way through. And I might or might not have the habit of helping myself to loose fruit while shopping."

"I always impulse buy gummy candy."

"I have to say I think I have very good grocery store etiquette. ... If I see someone behind me with one item and I have a lot of items, I let them go ahead of me. One time I had a large cart full of grocery items and I let one person go ahead of me who had one item, and one more person with one item, and four or five more people came along with one thing and I wondered, 'Am I going to get out of here today?'"

"I have two, really: not making a list before I go so I end up with a dozen jars of Dijon mustard in the pantry, and, the worst offense, going grocery shopping when I’m hungry. It wreaks havoc on my shopping plan and I come home with all kinds of food we really don't need."

"I am definitely the shopper yelling at the manager to open up another cashier because I hate to wait, and I will almost always down a box of sushi while shopping — yes, of course, I pay for it!"

"I love the grocery store, so I easily get sucked into spending too much time there. If we ever need someone to do a quick grocery store run, we always send my husband. He is there and back in a flash. I get stuck there for a half-hour just browsing the aisles and noticing how the merchandise is laid out, or evaluating pricing strategies."
