Impulse Shopping

Impulse shopping can be dangerous. That's how some wind up with luxury cars in their driveway or a luxe tennis bracelet in the jewelry box. Impulse shopping also applies to going to your local store. All those varieties and aromas get to us and we're hooked.We wind up buying food that will end in the garbage. The best bet is not to cave.Stay true to your shopping list.

To be honest it's hard not impulse buy when  you go to the grocery. I recentlydiscovered this while cleaning out my old fridge. It looked like a salute to pudding cups , some forgotten since the summer and long past their expiration date. I also realized I have a thing for jams too. Almost every flavor from raspberry to grape was there, Most of the jars only has a few scoops taken out of them. Cookies are another impulse buy that I have to curb. My baked goods drawer has three variations of Mallowmars.  What can I say?. I was lured in by the packaging and the fact that a couple of these are tasty. I then moved on to other treats, abandoning them .

How to curb impulse shopping? One, don't shop when 're hungry. You'll wind up buying everything that smells or looks good - which usually involves fattening foods. Two, don't cave to samples. Those free eats manufacturers set up are fun however don't feel obligated to buy the bags or packets. Thirdly, stick to your grocery list. Try not to veer off it, not matter how tempting those chips or ice cream sandwiches look; You may just eat one or two and then forget them within the week. If you do want to spring for a treat, think about getting a singular product like the Hostess or Entemann's treats. Also some groceries will elt you buy one donut or croissant from their bakery department.

Impulse shopping is bad. It's worse when it happens in your local grocery store. Try not to bend with it. Your stomach, health and wallet will be better off for it.

Nothing BetterThan Entenmann's

A big summer treat for any American kid was a glass of cold milk and Entenmanns' fudge donuts . There was nothing like the taste of a moist vanilla cake drenched in a candy coating of dark, rich chocolate. Then there's their butter cake that can send some people into rapture. Actually any Entenmann's product is good , considering it's factory made and mass produced. Every product tastes like it's just fresh baked and right out of your oven.

Entenmenn's was started in 1898 by William Entenmenn from Stuttgart,Germany. He took his father's bread recipes and started his own bakery in Brooklyn,, New York. It was later moved to bay Shore, Long island when his son suffered rheumatic fever and the family had to get out of the crowded city to the healthier Long Island countryside By the Twenties and Thirties the bakery had become a standard with even the Vanderbilts and the Morgan.s It was in the 1950s that home delivery gave way to supplying grocery stores. By the Sixties Entenmanns had its' own plant on five acres of bay Shore real estate.

Everyone has heard or eaten Entenmanns .They have a wealth of products form their many kids of donuts to their rich chocolate backed holiday butter cookies. there;s also the yummy crumb cake (once a favorite of Frank Sinatra). Entenmann's also bakes loaf cakes from butter to chocolate chip to raisin. These make a great dessert with a side of ice cream or fruit and whipped cream. Then there are the crumb cakes, moist gems with buttery sweet cinnamon toppings. The company also produces a wide variety of Danishes too, filled with sweet cheese or fruit and cinnamon. For the diet conscious there's also the Lite Bites which are only 100 calories. These are great desserts for brown bag lunches.

Entenmann's is a mainstay of American life and our lives. We all have good memeoires of the products, After all there 's nothing like the memory of a cold refrigerated chocolate fudge donut on a hot summer's day.
