Count me with you (except I would rather not eat before grocery
shopping, because I won't even buy everything written on my list)...
and I'll never understand the stop and eat at the mall food court
mentality either. Trader Joe's always has coffee samples and
demonstrates some product, but I don't bother with samples unless I'm
completely interested in what they're showing. I ended up buying all
the components to a yummy salad they were demonstrating... which meant
I spent $10 on a tiny bottle of balsamic vinegar (recreating that
salad was totally worth the cost).
