That way they may be more interested in eating it. Great idea. Keersten - I love the idea of the kids being involved with the Choosing the Food part.

Another great idea with the pictures of food is to let your child make a grocery list of the things they like/use. Then they can be in charge of finding and putting those items in the cart. It is a great literacy builder. Wow! You are super-mom! Another great idea with the pictures of food is to let your child make a grocery list of the things they like/use.

I hope the projects on the blog are simple and easy enough to do that you can do them ALL. Natalie - I should start doing that with my hubby, I love it! He always comes home with 10 other things that weren't on the list. You gals are sweet. I hope the projects on the blog are simple and easy enough to do that you can do them ALL.

He likes it because he knows exactly what to get, I like it because he's not putting anything extra in the cart because he's distracted with the coupons! Sad, no?

I just have my husband go grocery shopping once a week and late at night! That way, I don't have to deal with this icky experience. I do, however, enjoy going to Target, because the kids are COMPLETELY entertained with the popcorn for an acceptable period of time! Thanks for sharing! WOW! You are motivated!
