Also, I just wanted to add a quick note. Some mom's have asked me how I handle my kids in the grocery without them driving me crazy. I'll admit, some day's they do. But I try to involve them in the shopping process. If they can reach an item, I have them get it. They hold the bag open for me in the fruit/veggie section. The more they are involved in shopping the less they are wondering around looking for something to get into. We also talk about what we are about to do while we are in the car. I make it known to them that we are going into the store and that I expect they will be on their best behavior. I will not put up with arguing and they are not to "want" everything that they see. We stick to the list (for the most part) and that's it. You are in charge, not them, don't let them "boss" you around. If you are really planned ahead and your kids can't read, print out pictures of things they can get and put together their own list of what they can get for you. If they can read, have them write out or give them a written out list of what they can get for you. Most of all, get them involved!
