[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 450662, member: 6705"] I tried taking all 4 of us grocery shopping - I wanted the kids to understand the value of a dollar, and what you could get for that, and if you were careful, how much more you could get. Thank heavens J is old enough to leave by himself now. I don't even like taking husband. I finally gave up - O begs and begs and begs or DEMANDS this that or the other - J just asks for everything he sees, and I can't concentrate, end up buying too much. husband is getting better at generic and/or less expensive stuff - but we don't need Tostitos when they are 3x as expensive as Kroger brand. When I was about 9, my mom started sending me to "run" for items - usually one or two at a time. Kept me busy and was helpful. With O, I can't - because I cannot trust her not to swipe something - and with J - it would take 25 minutes for a can of tuna, and I'd have to go find him. [/QUOTE]
