Empty stomach

Never ever ever go shopping on an empty stomach. Everything looks good then. You buy a whole bunch of rubbish and precious little in the way of servicable meals.

The same idea applies to wedding registries. Get an idea in your head first. "We'll need X and I wouldn't mind Y and perhaps we could do with Z"
Otherwise you go to make the list, everything looks good and you end up with a registry filled with lawnmowers and fourty variations on a George Foreman grill for "choice".

Oh and combine the two ideas. Don't browse kitchen tools or cookery things until after lunch or you'll be famished.

(Note for people eyeing up appliances for us, we'll be living in Ireland. All appliances would need a transformer and a plug adaptor as they just won't work here)
