Eating Right #4

This is post number 4 in a 5 week in the Looney Tunes Eating Right series. If you’ve missed the past post you can click HERE to check them out and participate in the conversations. Your participation enters you into the drawing for the Looney Tunes Gift basket!!

This week’s topic: Grocery shopping with kids can be challenging, but what if what if you could make a trip to the supermarket a fun and educational adventure. Tell us how you navigate the grocery store with your kids.

My answer would be- I try not to take them with me!! haha But when I do I get them excited about it. I have them help me make the list and find the things on the list. This allows us to make healthy choices in advance for our list. Also, our Kroger has mini grocery baskets and Livie is so happy to push one and fill it up with foods off the list. At other stores I let her bring her little Dora shopping cart from home.

How about y’all? It’s your turn!! How do you make the grocery store into a fun and educational trip with your kids?

**Also a quick reminder that Momlogic’s nutrition expert, Haylie Pomroy is answering questions about nutrition. If you’d like you can send her your questions to eatingright@wb.com. She will post answers starting this week.

Disclaimer: Although I think teaching our kids to eat healthy is super important, I have been hired by Warner Brothers to help pass along the info. as part of their WB Word of Mouth Program. Everything I’m writing is my own honest opinion.

Um, those free cookies the bakery gives away usually do the trick for me…and if those aren’t available a slushie, pretzel, fruit snacks will do… I guess that’s not very nutritional or educational, though. I let Little Man pick the fruit to bag or have him get things off the shelf for me.

I like to let them pick out my produce with me. I also like to have them read the calories per serving when they ask me for stuff that I don’t want to buy or that they request as an impulse buy.

I usually have them help plan the weeks menu and pick a meal to prepare. This helps some. Sassy is the best and making sure the food groups are represented in the correct, or most healthy, way.

As they get bigger it’s been easier. When they were little I would let them hold stuff for me or put certain items in the cart. I would have them choose what they put in the cart out of things I was already going to buy, just letting them choose which one they put n the cart

Answering these questions makes me feel like I know what I’m doing, ha! far from it!

My most successful shopping trips with my daughter have been when I let her choose a fresh fruit and eat it right away while we shop. Apples work especially well and she loves them. Once she’s started munching, I go down the aisles. It helps if I talk to her and let her know what I’m thinking….do I have a coupon, what is the unit price, what size should I get, do we really need this, etc. etc.

It’s sometimes fun for us to choose something new that she’s never tried – ie a fresh coconut. We talk about it and I try to create anticipation in getting home to taste it.

Thanks for a fun giveaway!

I love clipping coupons! I save approx. $50 a Month doing this! I suggest getting electric scissors when cutting coupons in bulk!
