I actually shop for groceries way better when I’m hungry. If I’ve recently eaten, I have trouble imagining myself enjoying anything I’m going to buy, even if I eat it often. I’ve actually compared my hauls after shopping hungry vs shopping full: shopping on a full stomach my bags are noticeably emptier with less variety, and more unhealthy stuff. When shopping hungry I buy way more fruits, vegetables, some slightly adventurous ingredients, and in general much more interesting items that I’m more likely to enjoy in a few days.
But to each their own, I think I’m the outlier here.

That happens.
That’s why I tend to make the list while I am hungry.
