Stores hope that you come in to buy their other products, but if you stick to your list you hopefully won't get sucked in. My other piece of advice to you is to get to the stores early, because the loss-leader items sell out very quickly and there are usually limits on the amount you can buy. Stock up on supplies for the home office.
