I think you express very well a busy - and happy! - mom's way of relaxing in the grocery store. <br />I don't have any children and since last year, I have found that there are advantages of that too...like shopping in the grocery store on my own. <br />Just wanted to say that...<br />Helena in FranceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107728628771885674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14468282.post-34296144251453234862014-06-23T06:52:54.293-05:002014-06-23T06:52:54.293-05:00Anonymous, we actually do this often.

This time, however, I was craving completely solo time and none of the kids wanted to go so I went. It was great. John always takes one kid on every adventure!<br /><br />Thanks John Paul ....

By then, they will have marked all the clearance items then load up! Salad greens, herbs, organic meats, reduced produce is where you find some amazing deals! If you find any produce with todays date on it, ask them to mark it down and they will! If you find any meat with tomorrows date on it, ask them to mark it down and they will! Great experience. <br /><br />I also buy my Shell Gas cards there because you are going to spend the money on gas anyway. WIth their points program, when you buy a $50 card, you instantly get $0.10 off a gallon on gas, which you can use at shell.<br />John Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14012852653411282292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14468282.post-76400251881638529522014-06-22T17:07:25.543-05:002014-06-22T17:07:25.543-05:00You bring up an interesting point in talking about...You bring up an interesting point in talking about shopping by yourself vs. with one or more others. I am sure you greatly value alone time as a mom of four. One of my relatives has four kids, and he did something wonderful in having "dates" with each child, rotating once a week. He found out the love language of one child was quality time, and this has morphed into doing a mission trip together with this child for the past two years. <br />I can endorse ALDI for size, convenience, and price-it has variety without being overwhelming, and I love its layout-you can get done in ten minutes including checkout-very handy when shopping with little ones.<br />You sound like a great mom!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
