The Tupa\u2019s like to eat; well I guess just about everyone likes to eat; but that means we have to buy groceries; a lot. It gets old and boring going to the store all the time so I came up with a few ways to have fun. In all honesty my wife doesn\u2019t really like any of these and when we start up at the store she has a way of disappearing.
\nSo without further ado, here are seven fun things to do with your kids at the grocery store:<\/span><\/p>\n

  1. Toss the items thru the air to the kids who then put them in the basket. Use only soft goods and nothing damageable or easily opened- trust me on this one.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    2. Roll canned goods down the aisle to the kids who are waiting at the end of the aisle. This really only works if the aisle is empty or nearly empty.<\/span><\/p>\n

    3. Read off items from the shopping list and let them find them in the aisle.<\/span><\/p>\n

    4. Chase the kids down the aisle with the basket. For some reason my kids really like this one.<\/span><\/p>\n

    5. Let the kids push the basket (a lot more fun the younger they are), but be prepared to be run into and run over.<\/span><\/p>\n

    6. Make funny noises; see who can make the most shoppers\u00a0laugh.<\/span><\/p>\n

    7. Form an assembly line when emptying the basket at the checkout stand. Everyone helps by passing the items from one person to the next.<\/span><\/p>\n

    This is fairly normal for us<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Bonus:<\/em><\/strong> End the trip with a visit to the quarter machines! For less than the price of a coke you can get the kids some cool toys, stickers, candy or tattoos.<\/span><\/p>\n
