I clearly need to pay attention more often!

We also price match when grocery shopping, so I have to be a bit more obsessive about that. Totally embarrasses me sometimes, but its worth it in the end. looch on "Do you pay attention when you're checking out at the market?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-attention-when-youre-checking-out-at-the-market#post-1004543 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 14:19:19 +0000 looch 1004543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My husband and I do the shopping together with our son, so I watch the checker and oversee the bagging, while my son and husband walk around. I am too annoying to not watch, esp. with coupons! winniebee on "Do you pay attention when you're checking out at the market?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-attention-when-youre-checking-out-at-the-market#post-1004541 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 14:17:35 +0000 winniebee 1004541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not really - I'm usually entertaining T or trying to prevent him from climbing out of the cart.

I keep a tally as we shop (rounding up or down) so I know we're close to our budget. I don't watch as every item scans but I do make sure all coupons scan and if the $ seems off I ask about any deals (BOGO, etc) to make sure they scanned as priced. I think I embarass DH! :) wheres_c on "Do you pay attention when you're checking out at the market?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-attention-when-youre-checking-out-at-the-market#post-1004441 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 13:48:18 +0000 wheres_c 1004441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ never! fi gets so mad at me! doodlepoodle on "Do you pay attention when you're checking out at the market?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-attention-when-youre-checking-out-at-the-market#post-1004430 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 13:44:42 +0000 doodlepoodle 1004430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LOL at least now I know I'm not the only one! ;) Andrea on "Do you pay attention when you're checking out at the market?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-attention-when-youre-checking-out-at-the-market#post-1004427 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 13:44:13 +0000 Andrea 1004427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not all the time! swurlygurl on "Do you pay attention when you're checking out at the market?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-attention-when-youre-checking-out-at-the-market#post-1004418 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 13:43:00 +0000 swurlygurl 1004418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I never pay attention. DH always asks me how much I spent and I can never answer.

I took the kids to Target today and just realized that I have no idea how much I spent! I remember signing the pad thing.. and that's it. Just checked my online bank acct to see how much my total was. MOMMY BRAIN!!
