Shopping With Kids = Full Price!

Everyone knows the hassles that come with taking your kids shopping with you, but what do you consider a hassle? The kid who throws a tantrum in the middle of the floor over a candy bar? The restless kid who cries nonstop? The kid who runs off and you have to go search for?  There's many  shopping nightmares that can occur!

I have to say, I am lucky. My 3 year old daughter has never thrown a tantrum in the store over a candy bar, she may pout over it, but that is only a sad face that lasts until something else grabs her attention. She has never run off from me and stays close when I don't put her in a buggy. She has only cried nonstop once and that was a trip I woke her up to make and she wasn't feeling good so that's expected. I can excuse that once.

What does she do, you ask?

She talks me into buying items at full price!!! 

YIKES!

(look at her guarding her full price Dora cereal! She was scared i was going to take it back)

You read it right! Des always finds something Dora or Princess or anything else that she has to have  so she gives me those big " But mommy please, pretty please" eyes that melt my heart and I can't say no to. Especially since she's so good in the store. And it's almost like she knows I don't have a coupon for that particular item because it happens that way 98% of the time!

Lesson Learned!
