What I do if I'm feeling especially vulnerable is wear earphones and listen to a radio show or music while I'm shopping.

For me its the dairy section... specifically OJ... so many different brands, sizes, sales freaks me out! My therapist finally said.. what one do you like...told her, she said no matter what sales are, just buy that one. I've done that the last 3 times I've bought OJ and it worked. seems simple... hate it when someone points out something simple like that.. it's like.. "how come I didn't think of that"
I did have my ipod going while I was shopping. helped me ignore the other people..that was a suggestion from my case worker to help with my counting my steps out loud when I go across the street to get my cigs. Headphones work good.
