Are you ditching more items at the check-out?

Lots of us are thinking twice when we get to the check-out line at the store, according to this story by the Associated Press:
“Hard numbers are difficult to come by, but Burt P. Flickinger III, a retail consultant, estimates that in 25 percent of shoppers’ trips to the store, they’re ditching at least one item. In the recession of the early 1990s, it was 15 to 20 percent. In good times, it’s more like 10 percent.”
Personally, I’ve been more likely to not put an “extra” item in my cart in the first place.
Have you been ditching more items the past year at the store?
