Shop Alone
Ever been shopping with kids in tow? If so, you know how many things they beg for and think they just absolutely must have. To eliminate the temptation to give in and just buy them the $10 toy they keep demanding, simply find a time to shop without them. You’ll have better shopping trips, and unnecessary items won’t find their way into your cart.
This one is for the parents who can’t say no to their children when they’re out shopping. You know what we’re talking about. You’re strolling down an aisle, checking off your shopping list when your child decides they absolutely must have an item of their choice- typically a toy.
It’s pretty difficult and awkward to say no to a kid in a public place, especially if they start crying. That’s why you might try shopping along. Without distractions, you’ll be sure to stick to your shopping list.
