He was just too squirmy and screechy and I had to give him endless snacks to behave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids/page/2#post-2519738 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 11:49:27 +0000 nana87 2519738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but we order most stuff online so it's usually a quick trip when we only have a handful of items to get (I can only fit 2 bags full in the stroller basket so that's as much as we get since we don't drive) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids/page/2#post-2519732 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 11:43:20 +0000 SweetiePie 2519732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but my grocery shopping entails picking up a few things a few times a week. I don't do some big trip because 1) we live in a city where we just walk and 2) I don't really cook :silly:<br /> I do one larger grocery order maybe once a month. Where I order bigger items (like a case of water) and replenish any necessities that we are out of. And then I add whatever I would normally run out and get that week (milk, cheese, etc)</p> <p>I remember my mom taking all 3 of us to do her big weekly grocery trip. We were awful and it both makes me want to apologize to her and to never do that myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519704 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 11:13:34 +0000 travellingbee 2519704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hells to the no. Well not with the toddler anyway. Sometimes with the infant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519627 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 10:20:00 +0000 MrsBrewer 2519627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, but I only have 1 LO who's 10 months. she loves sitting in the shopping cart! She's a great shopper. Plus I normally just go to Trader Joes, and it goes pretty quick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519619 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 10:17:04 +0000 ocean81 2519619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! It's one of her favorite activities. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519613 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 10:11:41 +0000 Anagram 2519613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>always. I don't really have a choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519580 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 09:49:16 +0000 cat620 2519580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to take my oldest son when he was a baby, but as he got older, he started asking for things and would cry when I said no. It got to be too stressful taking him, because I would have to avoid certain aisles and keep him distracted to avoid tantrums. Now I have two kids, and I'm definitely not taking both grocery shopping! </p> <p>My grocery store offers online shopping, which has been a lifesaver! I can order whatever I need on their website, pick a time to get it, and they bring the groceries to your car and load them too! Sometimes I will online shop, and then have DH get the groceries on his way home from work, so I don't even have to leave the house. The cost is only $95 a year for unlimited shopping trips. And the shoppers always pick fresh produce and meats, so I don't have to worry about getting things that look bad. If they are out of anything, they call me and will substitute accordingly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519476 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 08:24:37 +0000 snowjewelz 2519476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't grocery shop haha but DH and my mom both take her regularly. She loves it b/c she's really into people watching! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519352 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 06:33:43 +0000 looch 2519352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't, but my husband does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519292 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 23:53:06 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2519292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was, but this past week I ordered delivery and there are certain items you can buy to get free delivery, otherwise I think it's $10, so I'm planning to do that some weeks too. I will usually have the kids on my own on the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519286 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 23:45:20 +0000 lamariniere 2519286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: me too. We go almost every day. But around here we just have small neighborhood grocery stores. I have 6 grocery stores within a 10 min or less walk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519249 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 21:47:12 +0000 Ginabean3 2519249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: lol they ARE a pain to manuver....especially if the store is crowded...they wheels are always sticky and don't turn properly...but gosh my girls LOVE riding in it and I can shop in peace!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519242 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 21:39:28 +0000 chopsuey 2519242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.

She loves going in the cart and looking around at the things and people. I'll likely be less excited to bring her when she is not so easily amused. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519221 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 21:20:13 +0000 misolee 2519221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always with LO1. Now with her new brother, I try to go when she's in school bc it's hard to juggle two. I've had to do it couple of times and it's not that bad bc baby is in stroller but it does exhaust me afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519202 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 20:55:26 +0000 mrsjyw 2519202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep all the time! We all love getting out of the house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519193 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 20:44:46 +0000 Purpledaisy 2519193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Every time. She loves going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519192 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 20:44:26 +0000 Grace 2519192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I used to say that I never would because I expected my kid to be screaming, yelling, running etc. But it turns out she loves to shop, so it's a lot of fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519185 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 20:34:33 +0000 Smurfette 2519185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! She loves it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519154 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 20:02:55 +0000 jhd 2519154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 50/50. Sometimes I take him. Other times I go by myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519153 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 20:02:31 +0000 regberadaisy 2519153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: omg we despise those things! They are such a pain to maneuver! Not to mention they lose its novelty after 15 minutes then we're stuck pushing this ginormous cart. No more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519151 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 20:01:31 +0000 FannyMae 2519151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will only take both kids if I am with another adult. DD is nearly 4, and she is not a runner, but she can demand a lot of attention and its just too hard at the moment with both her and my 4 month old in a carrier AND trying to remember what I needed to buy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519038 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 18:27:20 +0000 Ginabean3 2519038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Especially at grocery stores where they have the race car carts where both kids can sit next to each other. They are both highly entertained at the grocery store and I will sometimes take them if we run out of things to do during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2519027 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 18:21:28 +0000 regberadaisy 2519027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! DD1 loves going to Wegmans! DD 2 gets a snack when she gets restless and we're good. We go first thing on the weekend mornings when the stores are nice and quiet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2518987 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 17:53:40 +0000 KT326 2518987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS loves going to the store with me. At 4 years old he is quite the little helper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2518959 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 17:34:40 +0000 PawPrints 2518959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH usually does the weekly shopping trip on Sunday evenings after LO is in bed. So she rarely winds up in the grocery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-grocery-shop-with-the-kids#post-2518953 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 17:32:12 +0000 Foodnerd81 2518953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I have to. When it was just C we went all the time and she was great (always always bring snacks). I have done trips with both of them but it's much harder- timing it so both are happy is tough, and it's harder even wth baby in the carrier. I try to quick trips when C is at her one drop off program so it's just me and the baby, or do a bigger trip on the weekend and leave them home, or do delivery. </p> <p>It's also really hard because we are two flights up, so getting groceries and the infant seat and coaxing a toddler up the stairs... It usually ends in a tantrum. I prefer to pay for delivery. </p>
