Grocery Shopping Hacks

I came across the greatest parenting video on grocery shopping today. You would think that since I have three small littles I would know all of the tricks and tips to shopping with them by now, but I never thought of these! Here is  The video , but if you want the cliff notes here ya go:

✔️ First off, park by the carts, not the entrance. It makes getting the kids in and out easier.

✔️ Bring a cut up pool noodle to act as a safety buffer for the baby and it will stop them from trying to bite that nasty bar. I would put the cart cover over that so they don't pull it off or take bites out of the noodle...

✔️If you don't have a mommy hook (you should get one) grab one of those plastic bags in the produce department and tie your reusable bags and a diaper bag to the front of the cart. You will save up space for the food.

✔️ Tie cherrios to a long string and put it around the babies neck. They can snack without making a huge mess when they drop the cup.

✔️ Have the butcher chop up the meat and put it in separate little packages so you can freeze some for last minute dinner options.

✔️ Leave a laundry basket in the trunk so you can carry multiple bags into the house at once.

✔️Open the front and back of 12 packs of drinks and then just push them all out into the fridge at once instead of one at a time. 

✔️ Lastly, make a container in the fridge for food that is going to expire soon, so everyone knows to eat that first.
