How many of you other moms go grocery shopping and then eat out the night you go shopping? I do!! Grocery shopping for my family is an adventure. With a 3 and 6 yo I am exhaused after a heavy duty shopping trip (meaning I bought enough for a few weeks other than the fresh produce stuff) I make a list of pictures on construction paper for the kids to go scavenger hunting for veges, crackers, and other things to make it more fun.. I quite frankly hate grocery shopping with the kiddos.. I cant think of all that I want to cook without making a good list ahead of time.. Needless to say after a long trip to the grocery store or two I dont feel like cooking so its one of the few nights my kids get to eat out ~ delivery of course~ once we get home I am not leaving.. So I am just curious how many of you other super chicks do this too?

We will get delivery or take out before grocery shopping.  My guy goes alone usually and i guard the homestead with DD   LOL.  It makes it faster for everyone and since it is done typically late at night, dd needs to have her bedtime stay consistent.

We have done that, it's easier then shopping and having to go home and cook- shopping takes it out of me!

Maybe not eat out, but pick up something from the deli (at the grocery store) to eat for dinner.

Why is grocery shopping so tiring....If I could pay someone to do it for me, I would! LOL

We have done this on occassion.  Most of the time I just buy something quick to throw in the oven for supper while I'm shopping for the rest of the groceries- it's usually cheaper and it makes my daughter happy when she gets to choose.
