our shopping has become a family outing. We will leave on a Sat after my 1 year old gets up from his morning nap and eat lunch out somewhere then go to Sams club then Kroger then anywhere else we need to go and depending on if he wants another nap by then we go home or if he wants to stay up we may go to a park or out to dinner. So we don't go out to shop during the week and take time away from anything else.
