Pros and Cons to Shopping Day 12

Kim — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:56:01 +0000

I have a love/hate relationship with Grocery shopping! I like to go by myself. I do not like going with the kids. It’s just not fun or even very productive when they are with me. So I schedule shopping when they are at school. Now I like to browse, when I have time, up and down the isles reading ingredients and doing some comparison shopping. I also like to listen to my ipod. I get in some good podcast, audiobook, or music time in and it makes the trip more enjoyable. I also like to go prepared. I try my best not to forget my reusable bags and my Cozi shopping list.

Now what really irks me is when I can’t find something I really need/want. Like the special holiday creamer! Why is it that out of the four grocers that I have closest to me only one of them has it in stock? Grrr now I love my HEB and there are three very close to me. My fav being the furthest away. The HEB Plus and the older less attractive and smallest HEB being the closest. I really do not enjoy shopping at the old HEB. But for some reason they are the ONLY one carrying the special creamer right now. Yet at the checkout I am printed a nice little coupon for this special creamer. Doesn’t make sense to me. Here is a coupon but we won’t have it in stock for a couple of weeks.

So how do you feel about grocery shopping? Do you love it? Hate it? Won’t do it? Or are you indifferent?

~Kim

That creamer is hard to find anywhere. Every year it is a scramble to find the bottles in the stores. And the stores don’t put it in the most obvious of places either. They still can’t keep it on the shelves.

But shopping in general, yes, I love me some alone shopping time. Shopping with the kids is a hassle. Just to keep them happy you have to get the massive cart that is impossible to steer. You have to bring snacks and beverages and 99% of the time I can’t just get what I came for because at some point I will get talked into buying something for the kids. It is so nice to go alone and skip the toy grabber games at the end; to push the small cart or even, *gasp* carry a hand basket! It is fun to peruse the specialty item section without having to worry about the baby pulling a pricey bottle of truffle oil off the shelves.

But, like Kim, I do hate it the most when the one item I go in for isn’t there. Grrr!

Musing Mommies Podcast Episode 32, October 27, 2009

Hey there MuMos! The Musing Mommies are back this week with another exciting podcast!

This week Kim and Dawn take on 2 things that go hand in hand; like peanut butter and jelly, cake and ice cream, cinnamon and sugar, hamburgers and french fries…(I see a food theme here)

This podcast is about Pumpkins and Challenges!!

???

Maybe we should rethink that “going together” thing.

Ok, so they don’t exactly go together, but ’tis the season for both, right? With exciting announcements, to-die-for recipes and personal reflections, this is a show you don’t want to miss.

Get your notepad out and get ready to jot some ideas down. This Musing Mommies podcast is loaded with tons of great info and opportunity for personal growth. (and we don’t mean “growth” on the scale….or do we??) You’ll have to listen to find out!

Until next time,
Kim and Dawn

Fun and Free

Admin — Fri, 29 May 2009 18:48:23 +0000

MuMo’s Dawn and I took our boys on a field trip to a local grocery store. I had no idea that they did that type of thing and for FREE! It was really kind of neat. The kiddos got a cute crown to wear. Then the big H.E Buddy came out and took pictures with us and shook hands and even let the kids tickle him/her. We set out on our tour through the produce department where we sampled some fruit and talked about the fresh foods we saw. Then we went on to the bakery, fish market, cheese deli, and the fresh tortilla area where we got to see how they make the hot delicious flat breads! All along the way there were samples for the kids and parents to taste, which was good because when we left my son was full! We had to leave early because of previous obligations, but maybe Dawn can fill us in on what happened after that. Either way, I give it a big thumbs up! So gather some of your mommy friends and kiddos and set up a tour through the supermarket.

Yes! This was a cool thing for the little ones! The “tour guides” were really great about trying to get some educational stuff about nutrition and eating/living healthy as the kids got a detailed tour of some interesting parts of the store. After Kim and her son left, we made our way over to the lobster tank and the kids got to touch a real live lobster! Then we gathered up everyone and got to go into the walk in cooler where they keep the milk and yogurt. We locked all the kids inside and left for margaritas! haha! Just kidding…

After the cooler, the guides taught the kids to say(scream) “Thank You For Shopping at HEB!!!!” and as we walked back to the front of the store we stopped at every frightened freaked out uninterested happy customer we saw. At the end the kids all got a goodie bag with an activity book, a pencil, sticker, magnet and a photo of the whole group with H-E-Buddy.

It really was a fun trip and a neat way to spend an hour or so exploring the store. I definitely recommend it. Oh, and my kiddo, two days later, is still wearing his crown…
