Preview โ€” The Goal

๐ŸŽฏ The Goal: An empty stomach is a marketing department's dream customer. Shop hungry and your cart mysteriously fills with $7 snack pouches, deli hot food, and three things that were 'basically free' at 2-for-1 โ€” studies show hungry shoppers spend meaningfully more, and almost all of it lands on high-cost, low-nutrition processed stuff. The NEVER SHOP HUNGRY protocol is two moves: a high-protein snack before you enter, and a pre-written list you treat like a legal contract. Done consistently, it can cut a weekly bill by up to 30%.
